You like literally nailed it.

right?!

"And then she goes.....and then I'm like....and then he goes".....

When did "goes" become an acceptable replacement for "says"?

Literally decades ago, pretty sure

My wife is Chinese and she always use to say, "nega nega nega".  I asked her what nega meant and she said it didn't really mean anything.

Now I know how to translate to Chinese,  yada yada yada.

Michael Richards:

"So...there I was, doing my standup routine, when suddenly I get heckled by three guys. And, nega nega nega, now my career is over."

 

[El Floppo]

Similes, man

dammit. I've been reading this like mr roarke welcoming his guests, and not how it's written.

Your lunch was not amazing. That TV show is not amazing. The weather today is not amazing. Literally.

My lunch was ambrosial.

As someone who watches The Weather Channel and CNBC for work, I can tell you I literally hear, "ya know" about 5,000 times a day.  I can understand the everyday person using filler, but if you're a reporter, you need to clean that #### up.  I've literally tweeted TWC's Stephanie Abrams as much.   

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

It’s even worse when they type it.

When you see the idiocy come out on a page your instinct should be to correct it.

we have college interns working at my company for the summer. one of them signed off an email with "ya boy".

I love that, though.

No, it is nega nega nega. 

When my sister-in-law got married the minister said a few words from scripture and then said, "... and then it goes on yada yada yada".  Jaw dropped on that one.

Anyone else reading this as though it could be a Dave Chapelle episode?

He is having a concert in New York City.  My bro-in-law knows l like Chapelle's comedy so asked me if l wanted to go.  I was interested until l heard the tix were like $250. per.

Wow.  I saw him a few years back after he returned from his Africa stint and tickets were only $50.  He was phenomenal though.  He makes you feel as though you're just listening to a friend, albeit an unbelievably funny friend.

I had a teacher whose pet peeve was "you know" and "like."

If you said:  "Well, you know, I was..." He would say: "No, I don't know. You have to tell me."

If you said: "I was talking to my friend and he was, like, Did you do the homework, and I was like No, and he was like..." He would say "Wait, was it like you said that or did you actually say that? Was it like he responded that way or did he actually respond that way?"

He did this every single time.

My friends are almost as funny - and a hell of a lot cheaper to spend time with.

I had a teacher in 4th grade who was fond of saying "Yes you can, but you may not."

Hated that teacher. And I still say "Can I..." instead of "May I..." and I literally could care less weather I'm doing it wrong.

My family is from Boston. Now idk if it's a Boston thing but I've never heard people outside of there say it, but everyone in my family who still has their accent uses "So I says..."

Idk why but it drives me nuts.

I can understand being irritated by people with different speech patterns, especially in a professional setting. 

But people like this, who can't just let it go in a more casual setting and sift through it to the facts being conveyed...I find this personality type to be weak-minded, personally. Nobody likes this person. 

You might argue that he's a teacher doing his job, I'd say nah, that's not how you reach younger people anyways. And anyways these people are all over, they aren't all teachers dealing with teenagers. They just can't handle people communicating in whatever way they consider to be beneath them.

I'm in full agreement. If you can't let the usual tic go, you're not living humanely, really.

 

[Northern Voice]

I think these have already been passed by and it's now

"I mean..."

 

[falguy]

My son says "blah,blah,blah" in almost every conversation. Drives me nuts but like, what am I going to do?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Do people still say "Shut up!" when told something they didn't know?  Because they are the ones who should shut up.

 

[Ray Barboni]

“You said what?”

no ... I didn’t say “what”. I said words - a full sentence actually.  If you didn’t hear, then just simply say “what” or “I’m sorry?” Even “huh” is acceptable. 

I’ve been getting “you said what?” from a particular co-worker lately ... and each time I daze off dreaming about bricks being dropped on her or his face. 

Whats that now? 

 

[DallasDMac]

Do these people know how stupid this sounds? Personally and professionally? A whole generation has lost the ability to speak. 

I fully admit, when I hear someone doing this in a work environment, I think much, much less of them on a professional level.

 

[rockaction]

"I mean..."

That sort of out-of-breathiness permeated the nineties.

If you jumped in a lake and pulled a drowning dog out, took it home and kept it, then yes, you "rescued" your dog.

Otherwise, you "bought" your dog just like millions and millions of other people have done all over the world for hundreds of years.  Please stop saying you rescued your ####ing dog so it could live in your downtown condo 23.5 hours a day and poop on the sidewalk.

Do these people know how stupid this sounds? Personally and professionally? A whole generation has lost the ability to speak.  Want a fun drinking game? Watch Love Island.  Shot for every time one of the contestants says "like".  Frank Gallagher wouldn't last.

This literally started with our generation.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Its annoying as hell, but I think it bothers me less now than people who overuse "literally". 

 

[El Floppo]

Friends of ours daughter is apparently on that show, btw. I watched a couple minutes to see if she was there and for the sake of my sanity, mood and hope for humanity, had to stop. 

Watched another couple minutes... And once again couldn't take it. 

This show very well might be the harbinger of the apocalypse

AKA "manufactured moments"  for people to show just how awesome they are.
