" I was like, hangin out the other night "

" I was like, whatever "

" I was like, doin somethin or whatever "

We Irish, use this "like" word as well.

Normally incorporated into a sentence like, (see what I did there?)

"know what I mean like?" Helps if you imagine a really harsh Belfast accent.

That use of the word is more North East England I would have thought. Newcastle to be specific. Its not to bad, I can handle that.

The Irish version I would have thought would be "loike" which is also fine with me ! :)
 
i slipped into a phase of using the word 'like' far to often and im currently trying to condition myself out of it. much the same way as im trying to condition myself out of swearing in normal conversation :)

I don't mind it as punctuation as in your example but when it's used every other word, winds me the hell up as well!

They think they are gangsters.
They seriously need to get their own identities and stop copying that of their chav mates.
They obviously have no comprehension of how stupid they sound or look. I often find myself with the strong urge to give them a slap in the hope it may shake them out of it.:lol:
 
Spoken quite often in the Geordie language like.

Try living in Canada..... "I was like, and she was like, and they were like" - drives me crazy! Even the billboards advertising sales use it. Recently, outside Sears department store, there was a big bill board stating "It's like there's no GST" (GST is the general sales tax - like VAT). Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The billboard example if fine as it is grammatically correct. "It is like there is no GST" compared to the ordinary price ? ! yes ?

Again, Geordies have said it at the end of a sentence for ever and its part of the accent I would have said ! ...... like !

I was watching a Sky News a couple of days ago, some political reporter called Adam, an older chap. Every sentence started with "Er". And even pausing mid-sentence, he restarted with "er" with several "ers" per sentence.

The irritation which has crept up on us almost unnoticed and without comment is the number of people who start a sentence with "I mean..". Just as in the use of 'like' it is totally pointless, inane, and irrelevant. Yet it is used even by intelligent and educated people. Watch out for it, let it start to eat away at you, then you'll stop doing it yourself. I've even started to see it appear in writing too.
 
It's when people insert "you know" in between every word they say: "I, you know, went out, you know, like last night, you know".

Often felt like saying to that person "No, I don't bloody know, do I?!!". I remember David Beckham being famous for that.

Imagine if you ever came across someone who talks like this: "Basically, like, you know, went out last night, like, you know, so did not, like, want to get up this morning, you know, like, at the end of the day, you know" while doing that gangster-fingers-like-a-gun thing. Oh dear.

Translated into English from slang geordie speak it reads "you know what it is"

Pleased he is now quoting something you have said as he had been quoting something I had said about my lack of knowledge of alcohol.:D
 
People thinking they're cool who write "gunna" instead of going to, "thanks for the heads up" etc. etc. ad nauseum, should all be shot (but not with a camera!):gag:.
