Can anyone, like, count, if you don't, like, mind, how many times...


...the word 'like' is spoken in this movie? I mean, Jesus, it was, like, every other sentence.

It's one of those, like, crutch words everybody uses and I'm, like, OK with that, but everything in, like, fvcking moderation. The movie wasn't anything, like, great, it had some funny, like, enjoyable moments, but that repetition was, like, super annoying.

Coincidentally, after the movie, I saw the screenwriter speaking in an interview and he uses it at the same rate. It sounds so immature to me when someone uses it that much. And as if they're not particularly literate. I don't know, am I exaggerating here?

Like totally what I was thinking

So....did you like, like the movie or what?

reply

i did "like" it, but not "like like" it.

reply

I've only met two people who say "like" as much as the characters in this movie did. It was weird.

reply

If all of us know two people in the world who use the word, "like", as of often as they did in this movie, then using it wouldn't necessarily be an anomaly, would it ?

reply

I like honestly like didn't even like notice the like "like" abuse :P

And like...it's not like because I like speak like that way or like something
