Old man rant

[Deleted Member 1156]

Young people.......you do not need to insert the word 'like' into every sentence. I was queuing at the coffee machine this morning and the canteen at lunchtime. Every 3rd or 4th word I could hear was 'like'.

End of rant.

Like, why were you standing in the queue at a school canteen? Do you not like people saying like? Did you like your lunch? I like it when my Mrs makes my lunch.

Have a like

Come to meet the youth of Liverpool, the word "lad" punctuates every sentence 3 times, and normally tails off with a like at the end of the sentence.

You've got it easy.

Some kids have got a serious "like" problem, as you say its every 4 or 5 words, regardless of whether it makes sense or not they have to throw a "like" in there.

Sooner or later it'll become unfashionable(I hope), We'll probably need to set up "like" clinics to wean the hardened users off it.

Oh no you didn't.....

That's another bug bear.. Talking about yourself in the third person... Incredibly annoying.....

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Yes.....what has happened to the good old 'em'.

One son I know counted over 40 of them in his fathers captain day speech.

Correct, only Bomber from "Auf Wiedersehn pet", can carry that off.

I was young, we had no money, we only had 3 channels........

Rooter likes talking about himself as the third person, he thinks it makes him feel important.

I blame America

Socket would probably blame the EU! :rofl:

Had my period of hearing extraneous 'likes' quite a few years ago. And the reply to a query about was either a grunt or 'am I bovvered?!'

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Liverbirdie - based on my experience last week at the game against Newcastle, I was in the Liverpool end, that is one less per sentence than the f word. It was bizarre to hear normal sentences with that inserted every third word no matter what the context.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Add "know what I mean" to that list, the favourite of all Sarf Londoners who are unable to articulate anything in a clear manner, and thus rely on this phrase repeated ad infinitum to try to get a point across.

The one I dislike is 'Obviously' .
