Cách sử dụng
The expression "you know who/what" is used when talking about someone or something that you don't need to mention explicitly, because the other person you are speaking with already knows who or what you are talking about. For example, if you were talking to a friend about a famous actor and said, "Did you hear about what happened to you know who?" your friend would likely know you were talking about that actor, even though you didn't mention their name specifically. It's a helpful expression to use when you want to be clear without having to repeat information that both you and the other person are already aware of.
