I Don't Like 'Like'

Tonight I stopped at Timmy's for a snack while reading the daily paper. Three young ladies were at the table next to me. Usually, I can tune out the buzz in a public place but soon I noticed 'like....like....like....'

It was like.. distracting. This gal had like.. a one hundred word vocabulary that was totally challenged to effectively express the unbroken stream of approvals, similes, and metaphors. Strange how those with the least to say talk the most.

  • It was like.. verbal diarrhea
  • It was like.. mental constipation
  • It was like.. please shut up and read a book
The Urban Dictionary has some amusing definitions.
