You & I both!!! I may feel "like" it -- to slap someone (not necessarily just teens) for over-using that word, but then I realize I could be charged with assault & battery/child abuse.

"Well your honor, I was attempting to have an intelligent conversation with my 13-year-old son you see, and he kept saying the word "like" every five to ten seconds or so. It was really beginning to grate on my nerves, and sent me into a flashback to the days of record players ... your favorite 45 is spinning on the platter, but the arm & the needle stick to one groove producing the same sound over & over & over again, until you bop the phono-player with your hand on the side to unstick the music. That's exactly what I did to my son's head --I was unsticking the record player! That's the whole truth & nothing but the truth, so help me God."
Case dismissed!

Hopefully they'll grow out of it ... I have two more yet to go through that "stage of life" (11 & 7) ... or if they don't ever grow out of it, they at least change over to a different word to use for awhile.

Thanks! I must be Perry Mason!!! And thanks for the BA & 10 pts too!

Happy V-day to you & yours! (The force is strong in this one!) Report It

  • i hate ppl like that i might say it when i'm nervous or something but i do it accidently other than that yes i do

    I hate it x10

    I don't right like, but when I talk I can't help but say it. It just is sort of a replacement for "Um" for me. I don't even realize I do it. Everyone talks liek that where I live. I don't really know why....
    = P

    yes..and then a bubble gum pop follows it.

    like, as if like it even annoys you!! when i like feel like, like expessing myself, i just, like, think the most like straightforward way is to like clog up the sentence with like 400 like, likes!



    NOT


    i hate it too

    i like didnt like get like your question like.......???.....is this what u mean???....lol.....yea it does get a bit frustratin....but im a teen too n i dont use this much ....!!!

    It's very annoying.

    Like I so agree with you!!! Like totally!!!


    Argggggggggg that is irretating!!!!!. lol

    I do hate it as well. It is something they see on tv from the likes of Paris and Lindsey. It could also mean they do not have confidence when they are speaking and have to think about what they are saying and buy time with the "like" before putting their opinion about something out there.

    More like knock 'em upside the head! It shows how uneducated they are.

    oh! i know exactly what you mean, i really dislike people who tend to overuse that word in normal conversations. in my opinion it only makes the person sound less intelligent than they really are.

    It just makes them look dumber. They'll probably never get a good job if they keep it up.

    "Like, omg! Hire me!"

    Sorry for being smarter than everyone else. You think you are the only person who reads books. Everyone always says like, if you really hate it then that means you are going to slapping a lot of people.
