This depends on what the original poster wanted.
The KOINE that we have is the *written* vernacular.
"Everyday language on the streets" doesn't necessarily
get written in the sme form that it is spoken.
*Spoken* KOINE might be, for all we know, quite
different from written KOINE. In that case, there
will be no extant examples of what he's looking for.
