I haven't been saying "Like"".
I have been using "that's what I'm talking about" a lot. Something I never did before I heard Karly using it.

Do you mean,like, beneath one's conscience.
Like sub-consciously.

It is my pet hate, but even so I have caught myself saying it on occasion, much to my own annoyance LOL

I think outside of Ireland and Geordieland it just does not sound right. Noirin used it to terrible excess though.

'Like' is not as bad as 'whatever' used as a full stop! It drives me mad!

Don't think I've ever heard whatever being used as a full stop :shocked:

Here, Donegal, lots of people have startiing using it at the end of every sentence or to finish a sentence.

My Mother In Law says it all the TIME a she is seventy! The other day she said

'I need new wallaper and whatever for the living room, not sure about the colour and whatever!'

Whats happening! Is it all Katherine Tates fault?

I know what you mean now, Yeah it's pretty bad. I hope it's not one of those things I do without realising!

Freddie uses it so much. The combination of him and Noirin using it has brainwashed me somewhat, I'm sure of it! :conf2:
