No judgement here: starting to suspect that 35 is the dividing age between if you do and you don’t say “and he/she was like”. But tell me otherwise. Wonder where it came from?
Big fan of it, i’m 43
I say it loads and I’m 40. Are you classing it as a young people thing or an old people thing?
so the people i know who say it most frequently are under 35 for definite BUT i don’t know too many people over 40 except for very ‘traditional’ booksellers so it’s hard to feel out how widespread it is
And i was like “xylo’s pretending to be young”
i’m 38, and most of my pals are between 30 and 40. colleagues are obv a LOT over 40, but they’re all very traditional and a bit stuffy as it were, so tricky sample group
I catch myself doing it occasionally and hate myself for doing it. I’m nearly 40.
I do it and I’m a baby (29).
Want to stop going ‘like’ so much in general tbh. I know people who just go “like, like, like, like, like” when they’re stuck and it’s like millenial.exe just crashes.
And I was like, ping pong balls, not King Kong’s balls
And I was like, a bird
- Nelly Furtado telling an anecdote
also want to stop overusing ‘just’
The Swedish version of this is so curt & stilted that it’s hard to even describe. It’s just a noise really - ’ba’ …Makes overheard conversations between teens on public transport quite surreal when they’re making all these sheep noises at each other
I realise I sound like a boomer/pensioner but I don’t mind it, it’s just a bit bizarre to the English ear
Ba! this is pleasing.
Good gracious ass bodacious
I wish I could find some example clip or way to properly describe it, it’s a trip
FWIW Nelly is 48
i wonder if he still wears plasters
xylo asked if i still said and i was like
and i’m all naw but i use a variation
“i’m all” is very definitely cooler
Liam Lynch is 52 years old, and ‘United States of Whatever’ is 20 years old.
Does that make anyone feel ancient?
