No teenagers in my household. I couldn't believe that she was taking LIKE that ! Its was as if someone had challenged her to say that word as many times as possible during a 3 x minute interview. Do they really talk like that all the time ?
In my experience they can go a long while without talking and then they launch into a speeded up version of spoken language when using an iphone. It's akin to speaking in tongues. The boys went their whole teen years without completing a single sentence.Halmyre said:

.Sports 'personalities' promulgating their whacky beliefs in the media

How would he feel if cartographers and scientists denied the existence of cricket, and insisted it was a hoax perpetrated by the MCC

.“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 6:1
Or, in other words, saying "look at me being charitable" is the act of a self-centred
.

Watching an interview on our local 6pm news the other evening. It was with a young girl / teenager, who survived the Manchester bombing.
She was discussing her experiences and how it had affected her - Every other word was 'Like'. 'Its was like, I felt like, like it was'....etc. Every scentence that came out of her mouth had the word like in it.
It was, Like, awful.
Couldn't agree more. I think young people have it pretty tough in some respects but the way some of them talk beggars belief sometimes.She was discussing her experiences and how it had affected her - Every other word was 'Like'.

You don't have teenagers do you? They all speak like that, particularly girls.She was discussing her experiences and how it had affected her - Every other word was 'Like'. 'Its was like, I felt like, like it was'....etc. Every scentence that came out of her mouth had the word like in it.

Me: hello Abi, how way your day?
Her: oh my god, like, literally you’ll never guess what. I was like, seriously, driving to work and like literally, this guy like really cut me up. Oh my god, like, literally, I was shaking. He like so nearly hit my car, I was, like, so angry, and then was literally like shaking all the way to work. I literally had to have like two cups of coffee to calm me down, seriously.
I tend to ask her very few questions...

Before that it was probably something else. 'Mate' perhaps. Or 'blimey!'
Dickens's books are full of charicatures of cockney speech.
I think nothing really changes.
Christmas decorations/music/etc in shops. Shops are already hostile designs, laid out to be unintuitive/inconvenient to trick you into impulse buys. They become 10x more obnoxious in winter. Loops of the same music - some of it's quite good, it's just played 'til your ears bleed. All the really awful moving/musical/flashing decorations are set to "most annoying mode" because we all know that nobody leaves that little dancing Santa on for more than about 20 seconds while trying to find out how to turn the bloody noise off. Tinsel everywhere... no-one likes tinsel. That's why it's hidden in the shed or attic 11/12ths of the year.
I've grown to appreciate "Black Friday" as a result of this. Retailers can't start setting up for Christmas before Black Friday, and it's an imported bullst event that only culturally makes any sense in the USA (cultural like petri dish) so it's fine for everyone to moan about it. There are many, many things to complain about with Black Friday, but at least it's retailers being honest about wanting to get your hard-earned. Nothing like this Christmas bks.
Oh and people who call you a grinch for not wanting to be bombarded with this st when you're just trying to go get a pint of milk.

k all about Military Flying and can't possibly accept a woman knows better than him).If anyone 'scurries away' its you pathetic wee man.
I don't engage with you because I can't be f
king bothered.'Walts'
Tell me how many military flying hours you have?
Oh, that's right. NONE.
Tell me how much time you have in the Military?
Oh that's right NONE.
Yet you 'know' about military flying?
Yeah. If anyone is the 'Walt' it is you ye wee prick.
Get some fecking time in. When you do I might bother thinking about replying to you.
