Oh, there's an obscure usage you missed: "I like ice cream."
It indicates favor. Mostly obsolete.

Valley Speak

As an adverb: I, like, died!
As a quotative: She was, like, no way!
Like can also be used to communicate a pantomime, or to paraphrase an explicitly unspoken idea or sentiment: I was like (speaker rolls eyes).
As a hedge: I have, like, no money.
As a discourse particle or interjection: I, like, don't know what to do.
It is also becoming more often used at the end of a sentence, as an alternative to you know: I didn't say, like, anything.
