may be rude Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) is the thread title supposed to have a valley girl inflection? anyway i find the word "like" to be useful and not entirely garbage as some english teachers would assert. it's indicates an unspecified qualifier, thereby describing while abridging, classic language.

Guest Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) um like.. well.. you know, you can hate on it, (and truth be told, it can get under my skin!) but as you said ; it's a way of dealing with the insecurity neurosis. I used to be bugged out when people flapped out their smartphones in a convo to do whatever, but now I realize that most of the time that happens, it's because of insecurity and not knowing what to say (usually when that happens i try to ask a silly question or fall silent.. kinda depends on the situation) pro-tip on how to deal? dunno. don't be bothered by it so much and be clairvoyant and lead by example good luck Edited September 13, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84898-why-does-everyone-talk-like-a-valley-girl/page/2/#findComment-2219712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Foil Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 On 9/13/2014 at 3:31 AM, Deion Sanders said: I grew up in LA. It's really all about the use of "like", not as a simile. Don't think about the scenario I've presented too hard. Just an example of how it's used. - "So I like went to the store and bought these, like, green shoes that looked awesome. It was cool how, like, they were pretty cheap." - "Omg ya totally, like, that's so cool." - "I know, right? So anyways, Brad got a new skateboard that's, like, pretty bitchin." Sounds like Squarepusher talk to me.

Npoess Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Where I'm from most females talks like they are participants in a reality show. That means talking about yourself as much as possible, and not really caring about anything but trivial everyday bullshit and product consumption. Most males tries to use as many swear words as possible to draw attention to their "maleness". The ironic thing is that it makes them look like insecure little boys. Topics of conversation: alcohol and lifting. If you use a word longer than 7 letters = nerd/weirdo Reveal hidden contents Obviously generalizing quite a bit But all I can say is that intelligence is not a virtue for many people here Edited September 14, 2014 by Npoess Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Npoess's signature Hide all signatures │ Tumblr │ Last.fm │ Soundcloud │ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84898-why-does-everyone-talk-like-a-valley-girl/page/2/#findComment-2220152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
