As a teenage girl, I say to that article, pfft!
Does it, like, bother you that the researcher's first name is, like, Muffy?
The way teens talk, like, serves a purpose.
The state of being AWAR?
Acutally, the OED lists awar as Old English and one of many variants of owhere, 'anywhere'.
An acadamy is perhaps an academy for dames.
Just looked at it again. Not only is "awareness" missing the first E, but "Academy" is misspelled. Spec-TAC-ular.
*fur dripping*
Good catch, pleth. I was focused on that..."thing" in the lower left corner. Is that, like, the worst logo ever??
*roars and runs off to bathe in a river and get that disgusting shit offa me*
*Grabs an overripe banana and mashes it into chained_bear's fur*
*topped with a marshmallow*
*takes reesetee's indiscriminate, icing-smeared cupcake and rubs it in reesetee's EAR*
*topped with a marshmallow!*
Ha! I didn't notice that!
Is it amusing to anyone else that at the bottom of that poster the "e" has been left out of "awareness"?
You'd think these two were married, the way they carry on.
Corners!
A marshmallow? You threw a marshmallow at me? Of all the....
*indiscriminately flings cupcake at chained_bear's snout*
OWW! What'dja do that for?! *whips cupcake at reesetee's head*
*followed closely by a marshmallow*
Yes! Yes, remember? We...uh...had that meeting? About not liking "like"? *kicks c_b under the table*
We are?
Skipvia: I confess. Chained_bear and I are campaigning to ban the word from the English language.
There must be multiple theses on this phenomenon by now. Can anyone direct me?
n.b. skip: not me. But I'll donate.
Okay--which one of you Wordies is behind this movement?
Anyone seen chained_bear lately?
to fall in like (for love):
"Before I discovered you could set up a "disk browser" in TextWrangler, I fell in like with TextMate. I seem to be in good company because I keep recognizing TextMate in screencasts." from http://blog.contenthere.net/2008/06/i-use-this.html
Thanks, uselessness. Just so. :-)
Oh, there's an obscure usage you missed: "I like ice cream."
It indicates favor. Mostly obsolete.
Shaggy: "Like, let's get outta here, Scoob!"
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.
