"Like"

"Like, when, like you um, like do this, like, make sure, like you are, like......"

People like this make me want to gouge my eyes out with hot forks of displeasure.

ps - UM IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS WORD.

I'm guilty of doing this.
=(

Not to the extent I heard it today.

[tiedye]

I say "um" a bit.. and when I'm high "like" comes out once in awhile. I actually read a thesis once on the overuse of the word "like".. I'll try to dig it up.

[tango]

i know what youre saying... are ppl so retarded that they cant think of intelligable words to say?!

[diva]

In my defense, I do it mostly when chatting on msn.
:P

[tiedye]

Well.. it's an easily associated word. It's not so much an intelligence thing as it is a cultural habit.

if they're drunk or stoned they have an excuse.

I can admit I use quite a few "ummmms" when I am mashed.

QFT

Being Drunk or Stoned (stoned for me) should let you off the hook with some things in regards to how you talk. IMO

Ill admit...

"Um" is a word telling the other person that your brain is in motion of process, but not quite there yet.

"like" is a simile to describe what where saying becaase we dont use big words anymore :(

Like Lilly Like Wilson
By Taylor Mali
www.taylormali.com

I'm writing the poem that will change the world,
and it's Lilly Wilson at my office door.
Lilly Wilson, the recovering like addict,
the worst I've ever seen.
So, like, bad the whole eighth grade
started calling her Like Lilly Like Wilson Like.
ŒUntil I declared my classroom a Like-Free Zone,
and she could not speak for days.

But when she finally did, it was to say,
Mr. Mali, this is . . . so hard.
Now I have to think before I . . . say anything.


Imagine that, Lilly.

It's for your own good.
Even if you don't like . . .
it.

I'm writing the poem that will change the world,
and it's Lilly Wilson at my office door.
Lilly is writing a research paper for me
about how homosexuals shouldn't be allowed
to adopt children.
I'm writing the poem that will change the world,
and it's Like Lilly Like Wilson at my office door.

She's having trouble finding sources,
which is to say, ones that back her up.
They all argue in favor of what I thought I was against.

And it took four years of college,
three years of graduate school,
and every incidental teaching experience I have ever had
to let out only,

Well, that's a real interesting problem, Lilly.
But what do you propose to do about it?
That's what I want to know.

And the eighth-grade mind is a beautiful thing;
Like a new-born baby's face, you can often see it
change before your very eyes.

I can't believe I'm saying this, Mr. Mali,
but I think I'd like to switch sides.

And I want to tell her to do more than just believe it,
but to enjoy it!
That changing your mind is one of the best ways
of finding out whether or not you still have one.
Or even that minds are like parachutes,
that it doesn't matter what you pack
them with so long as they open
at the right time.
O God, Lilly, I want to say
you make me feel like a teacher,
and who could ask to feel more than that?
I want to say all this but manage only,
Lilly, I am like so impressed with you!

So I finally taught somebody something,
namely, how to change her mind.
And learned in the process that if I ever change the world
it's going to be one eighth grader at a time.

the truth. If we could be more articulate we would.

but "like" and "umm" are just a couple words that really help out in those foggy moments us party characters tend to have from time to time...........

[Roxxie]

true, but then u have those really annoying airheads that have a vocabulary of about 50 words and use "like" "um" "omg" and "totally" in every other word.

" OMG i like totally cant believe u like did that!!!! Omg like wow..."

lol
