[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's something universal about spoiled, white American girls between the ages of 15 and 29. It's not just the overuse of the word "like" but a certain nasal, airy (Cali girl?) lisp. The combination of the two seemingly decreases the apparent IQ of said young women by a good 50%...and in the eyes of many men I know...makes them either seem immature and/or unsuitable for a LTR...or worse...easy to get in bed.

And it is a rich, white, privileged (middle class) American girl problem. I have never observed the phenomenon among other cultures and languages.   [/quote]

Yes, it's incredible that other languages do not use the English  word "like" in the way that the English language uses the English word "like".

Meanwhile I, for one, would not want to have a relationship with a man who thought that a young woman who uses "like" is unsuitable for a long-term relationship and "easy to get in bed", so if that really is what men think, then I, if I were a young woman, would use "like" as much as possible.
