I overheard a mom speaking with her teenage daughter and son at the driver's license office: ".....uncle Jack came like the other day and was like, can you drive me to the airport, I was like, I'm not sure and he was like, I can ask Ben and I was like, you can try that and then he like drove off. I was like not sure what to do and called your father and he was like, it is ok Ben should be able to help, and I was like it's ok.........".
I'm certainly not a good English speaker but it was a little funny to hear that conversation. I was trying to count how many likes she was using. It also reminded me of the school/college days where we used to count how many times a certain word was used by some teachers/professors repeatedly in their lectures.
I wonder if it's the "Like" on Facebook that influenced the word "like" being used as a filler word in the conversations these days.
What's your filler word or a word that you use repeatedly in your conversations? I think I use "weird" quite a bit to describe things. :)
