I live near Bournemouth and realised I was saying it a lot on NYE, that's why this thread interested me
thinks it's a lazy thing and happens more when im drunk

(but would only be likely to say the last of the above 3)
no pause when i say it too, dont say 'I was like....tired' that would annoy me even more if I did that, totally fluid use but annoying nonethless
agree BigH the quality of grammar in this country is accelerating to ever lower depths........doesn't help when you hear that bimbo Cheryl Cole say it every other sentance in front of millions of viewers !!
Yeah Steptoe I agree.
I would put scousers in there aswell

also seem to repeat the word cnut a lot too, which is also annoying
scousers have always said "like" at the end of every sentence
we always used to take the p1ss out of a scouse mate
he would say "I'm starving, like"
we'd say "like what?"

Actually,actually gets on my actual t its. It adds nothing.Its actually a non word.
Was in a shop earlier,a group of rowdy teenage girls had gathered & were having a very excitable loud coversation about a young lad that presumably they knew,their conversation went something along the lines of.............
'Did you go to Jim's party? It was like massive'
'I was like going but like couldn't find me nike like'
'Innit,like innit like innit, yo like like innit yo'
'scream........giggle .......scream'
'Hey Kim I like your bike like,innit?'
'Yo massive innit like'
'Did you go to Jim's party? It was like massive'
'I was like going but like couldn't find me nike like'
'Innit,like innit like innit, yo like like innit yo'
'scream........giggle .......scream'
'Hey Kim I like your bike like,innit?'
'Yo massive innit like'
It's often used as a way of conveying what a person would like to have said in a certain situation, but didn't. Without directly lying or misquoting. e.g. 'the effing copper said "Watch your mouth son!". And I'm like, "**k you you fat barsstard".
The most annoying, incorrectly used word in the English Language.
In hereford where I live a lot of the locals add the word "look" to the end of the sentence.As in "It was a tidy job look" A few times I have asked why and to a man they deny doing it. Its a sort of hereford secret look.

Ukraine or Russian natives use the word "Actually" in their English sentances.
Actually i think "Actually" replaces the words "You know what"

People in Wiltshire and Berkshire often add "then" to the end of a Sentance,
Eg;
Why did he do that then
He made a fool of himself then
Whats the score then
drives me mad!!

i actually played spread betting odds compiler on this. BEFORE i opened up the thread i thought the word "like" would be used 10 times. it was used 29 times by all you rascally jokers.
sat in front of a couple of srubbers at the movies last week - their conversation had at least 5 likes per exchange - think i counted 8 in one sentence at one stage
thankfully they shut up when the movie started...

It's worse in Liverpool :(
(what isn't)
They emphasise the word, then stretch and sort of gargle it. So it comes out as
Liiichkhkhe

In fairness scousers have always seemed to use the word "like" ("sound") being the other scouse term ive never heard anywhere else.
Though i think the use of the word "like" is mainly the preserve of that ever growing army of kids,iliterate women,students and young gayers.

think people are confusing the northern use of the word 'like ' with the chav and modernish use of the word ' like ' . like.
its because people are socialogically forced into talking like that, because they have to act to survive. lack of intelligence and confidence imo.
