A perfectly pleasant evening (be it at the cinema, pub or at a gig) can so easily be adversely affected by just a couple of irritating dullards.

It's not just a North American thing - it's very prevalent over here too - often used in place of 'said' or 'thought', such as "So he was, like, where are you going? And I was, like, I'm just going to the shop" But no doubt it will be replaced by something else in time, such is the constant evolution of language!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-43256689620945681362015-12-03T06:54:58.862+00:002015-12-03T06:54:58.862+00:00I can relate to your pain, C, but what really driv...I can relate to your pain, C, but what really drives me INSANE is when two or more under-30 people sit anywhere near me and subject me to the filler word "like" after every three words.
