Like, I just took this like 40 minute train ride like home like. And there was like these two like teenage girls like on the train like across the aisle. And they like talked incessantly like about like relationships and the like. They were with like this guy who like slept through it all, too. And like they couldn't get through like one sentence without like at least two "like" in it. You know. And like it was like non-stop like.
What if high school English teachers were to have the students record a casual conversation with one of their friends and then transcribe it. Like write down every word they said like and then read it like in class.
Way back when I was in high school speech class, the teacher broke us of the um vocalized um pause um.
You know, for like putting up with this like, um, here um is a little reward. Check out "If you had only one job to do and you ...... FAILED!"

I thought 'like, you know' was an Aussie teenage dialect, but it seems to be multinational, lol. :lol:

On a par with 'Ya know' inserted at the end of every sentence. If I'm supposed to know why are you telling me again?
Also don't get me started on the now accepted adjective
'f*%K' which seems to litter nearly every T.V. programme and the insidious efforts to make the 'C' word equally acceptable.

Could be there is a connection to all the "likes" on facebook.
Nope, even if that crap has been accepted as 'free speech' recently. Something about a deputy using 'like' on his facebook account and the like was on the opposite candidate for sheriff....

Not the case I'm afraid, like most things Australian, it's become very Americanized, the speech, comedy, right down to Kentucky fried and Big Mac. And probably a few not so good things.
