re: Like what is up with people, like saying “like” constantly in like every sentence.

And what is fricking worse is these morons on this damn message board who actually type the word "like" multiple times in one phrase just like they were talking.
I guess they would say they were voice texting, but even then they sound like morons because they are morons

I use “know what I’m saying” instead

One of my clients uses “dead arse” all the time after every sentence, as in dead arse serious and it drives me up the wall.

Same here. I was at a coffee shop one day about 20 years ago and seated outdoors when 3 young adults sat at a table near me, 2 guys and a gal. The guys were in suits and the gal in very fashionable business attire and all carrying briefcases.

I couldn't help but overhear their conversation and the amount of "Like and You Knows" being thrown around had me wondering how anyone could take them seriously in a business environment.

When I was in 8th grade.. This was early 90s.. Catholic school. Our English teacher would randomly call on people and give us a topic to talk about. Every time we would say "like" she would make us start over. I used to hate that shite because there was no preparing for it. It could be anything "Tell us about a time you did something fun with friends".

By the end of the year we were much better at talking without saying "its like..." "so like.." and to this day I will think about it when holding a conversation and make sure I avoid saying unnecessary likes.
