When you are in an English class discussing a poem on the tragedy that occurred on September 11th, 2001, and there is one girl who does most of talking (only because she disagrees with everyone else) and she says "LIKE" after every other word.
I can not comprehend some girl or any person at that matter when they repeat the word "like" at unnecessary circumstances. I really wanted to get out of the chair and tape her mouth shut. ONE; someone could of maybe gotten a word in, from their own mouth. TWO; I honestly thought I was in an episode of Laguna Beach or the OC.
I think I have come to the conclusion that the only reason anyone would ever use the word "LIKE" more then 5 times in your average length sentence, they either can not think or they don't have a big enough vocabulary.
So HEY MR WEBSTER! I say we take out the word "LIKE" out of the dictionary all together.
Like is similar to "um"... it's just a space holder for someone to use while they're thinking.
Or to compare something to something else.
Like five minutes ago a bee stung me in the eye and like flew away.
True story. Like.
