How about when people talk about conversations they had and they say “I was like…and she was like…” What’s wrong with good old I said, she said?
I had a non Jewish co-worker who’s every second word was ‘like’. A typical sentence from him: “So like we should like do like this like” NO exaggeration! I was so surprised – I thought ‘like’ was a frum thing, but he was way worse than any BY girl I’ve ever heard!
