>>For a while Ammo said "like" every other word ... But then we heard his friends---they ALL talk like that, especially when they're together.<< Here's what gets me. When one kid in the group says "She is, like, so, you know." And everyone else nods their heads in agreement.

Gratuitous "likes" I can deal with in small doses. What makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck is the concurrent disposal of the past tense that seems to accompany liberal use of "like." For example, I heard a woman in the elevator the other day: "So yesterday I'm like y'know on this lunch date, and I'm like sayin' to this guy that I'm goin' on this business trip to New York for a week, and he's like I should go and see this and that y'know, and I'm like hey, I'm WORKIN'!!"
