Oh my God! Have you heard this as well?
“And I was like, I feel like X” and she said that “she was like.”
Ugh! Such horrible English.
But guess where it comes from, I reckon!
It comes from wanting to be liked by not being decisive in your speech or in your actions.
Nobody simply wants to say “she said and I agreed.” Everything needs to be qualified today. The need to be liked is compounded by everything being relativistic, nothing is true or untrue anymore, it’s millions and millions of indistinct shades of grey.
Let’s try this. Let’s own who we are, let’s stand and earn our ground.
Make “like” soy again.
