Do you use the word "LIKE" ....(RANT) - GoFuckYourself.com

KRosh · 06-24-2006, 11:01 AM

Are you a person that uses LIKE in every other word of your speech?

There is nothing more annoying in my opinion! The use of this word has reached epidemic levels in the English language.

People say it is a filler word, I say it is a word that is used by people that have very limited vocabulary.

Like, can you Discuss??

dodger21 · 06-24-2006, 11:02 AM

AGREE!!! Fucking hate the word. That, and "ummmm".

xNetworx · 06-24-2006, 11:04 AM

Like and Dude make me wanna smack a bish

I stopped hanging out with a female neighbor from Cali because every other word she said was "dude"... it was obnoxious

rants · 06-24-2006, 11:05 AM

Yes, i say it in every other sentence, I don't really know why. I think it's because I live in so cal.

Plus I work as a webmaster from home so I don't have to be professional and all "corporate" and talk professional. If I had to work in an office I would probably learn to carry myself better. But since I'm my own boss and watch way too much mtv shows, it just rubs off and I say "like", like all the time.

Plus it helps me retain my youth, it makes me look like I'm 18 when I really am a few yrs away from 30. I look young though for my age so I like to talk the "part" too.

Farang · 06-24-2006, 11:08 AM

what's wrong with ummmm?

as long as we are ading to the list, add people (mostly those little thug wannabes) using the word "nigga" as every other word to that.

Libertine · 06-24-2006, 11:10 AM

I like beer.

Yngwie · 06-24-2006, 11:13 AM

wow! it's like you know.. like a thing that you liked when you like someone who likes the same thing dude.. haha

madawgz · 06-24-2006, 11:17 AM

i used to do that sometimes but not anymore LOL

he-fox · 06-24-2006, 11:19 AM

Ahhhhhhh, I was sooo going to make a thread about this dumb habit. I mean, I'm no english expert, I barely manage to write a few words, but this "LIKE" thingy, together with "YOU KNOW" is really annoying. Using it only shows how limited or brainwashed you are. I'm freaked out to see how ppl, especially the younger ones, get dumber every day, reduced to simple monkeys that try to "act" like the their "heroes". It's all a result of the stupid celebrity cult, reality shows and A.I. If a weak mind is watching these days stars and tries to dress and speak like them, this is what you get, ridiculous habits and dumb ppl falling for them, like rants above, thinking they are cool.
It's all about "keep them dumb so you take their money". I'm no conspiracy theorist, but this one is really obvious.

gooddomains · 06-24-2006, 11:20 AM

Like what? Like this or like that ?

Madcatz · 06-24-2006, 11:21 AM

thats like so super fantastic like awesome!

Seriously though, some people need to learn how to speak english

puravida · 06-24-2006, 12:41 PM

so move to a country where people dont speak english, then u dont have to hear 'like'

i dont hear it that much here in cr

fallenmuffin · 06-24-2006, 12:42 PM

Dude like wtf are you talking about? Is this like some kind of rant aginist like people on like the interweb? You to like chill out.

stickyfingerz · 06-24-2006, 12:46 PM

Like I hate that. Thats like sooo dumb to use that word. Like wtf is wrong with people? Like do you know that Like looks weird after you like type it soo many times? Like crazy.

Exactly my point. If people that use "like" would take a moment and write down what oozed from their mouth, they would realize how ridiculous it sounds!!

potter · 06-24-2006, 12:51 PM

Wow, you act like it really bothers you.

Lee · 06-24-2006, 01:08 PM

The one that really pisses me off is "ya know". If you listen to virtually any member of the England football squad being interviewed, almost all of their sentences are interspersed with "ya know". Its almost as if the term "ya know" has replaced pausing and breathing in their sentence structure.

Andiz · 06-24-2006, 01:11 PM

Or: Know what I'm sayin? .....instead of saying that, use your brains !

pornguy · 06-24-2006, 01:12 PM

Wow. Like is. Well its like. you know. So Valley! Like ya know?

The only thing worse than like and dude is the use of "Cali." Like, ummm, dude, do we call it Ari?

"Cali" is just as bad as like or dude. It seems to be a word non-Californians use to sound "hip" and "cool". Its really pretty funny, my whole family does it.

A few other words that drive me nuts: chill, SoCal, NorCal, hella, word up. Those seem pretty popular in California.

SilentKnight · 06-24-2006, 01:43 PM

Both our daughters use it to excess...it drives me crazy. My wife and I are always on their case about it.

Niko Bimini · 06-24-2006, 01:45 PM

Can't stand the over use of "like" arrrgh it annoys the shit out of me!

But I confess I do drift into the "dude" thing sometimes as I grew up a little surf rat wanna-be Jeff Spicolli...............still to this day when I party I might call you DUDE a bit too much.

BusterBunny · 06-24-2006, 01:46 PM

Saying "hella" is a total violation of free speech
