There is another thread on the use of that word fancyflowers……..maybe you didn’t ‘like’ that particular one??

The constant and unnecessary use of the word 'like' annoys me. It's mostly young people who use it ( although I have heard it from my sister-in-law).

Every sentence seems to be 'I was like....' 'It was like....'

When did this start? I can't remember people ever using it when I was young.
