Typically, the excessive use of the word "like" is associated primarily with airheaded valley girls. However, it's pretty ridiculous how much basically every person under 25/30ish uses the word in conversation. I feel like most people don't even notice it these days. If you pay attention you'll find a large portion of people use it in over a third of their sentences. If not more. Top 3 things often replaced by "like" or some phrase using "like":- Said. "And then I was like 'That is a pretty tall midget!'"
- Pause/sentence reset/nothing. "So I mean, like, necrophilia isn't even illegal in Wisconsin."
- Thinking. "Then I drank 2 extreme rock heads and was all like 'I should punch this cop in the larynx'"
Don't get me wrong, I'm actually somewhat okay with how much it's used. The implied definition of the word is understood and it works well in very casual conversation. Voice inflections and context make it obvious what the speaker means. Plus it's hard to notice anyway.
Btw, the girl in the picture is my ideal future child and will "clap your monkey-ass." Wu-Tang!
