Well then that would be an ecumenical matter, wouldn’t it?

When I pay for something I would appreciate if the employee would say thank you to me. My money keeps them in business and pays their salary. Almost no one where I shop or eat says thank you, except the customers.

A dive is a seedy bar, so a dive bar would be a seedy bar bar.
Not sure about that one. I don't know the history of the word "dive", but in my lifetime it has been used to describe any place that is rundown, seedy, etc. It could be applied to motels, coffee shops, and bars, so saying "dive bar" is just clarifying what kind of dive you're talking about.

The need for such a clarification is nothing short of tragic. Surely you wouldn’t argue with a man who has spent so much of his life hunched over a cheap draft hoping the barmaid would notice his brooding sensitivity.

Not as irritating as “anymore” and abuse of “then/than”. If this works for them, maybe Ill open a bar next door for the differently triggered among us.

I swear this linguistic tic originated in the sixties.

Oh yeah, it's explained in The Strawberry Statement. By gosh, here it is on my bookshelf, and the citation is bookmarked! I do believe I quoted it on this forum at one time.
"(We youths say "like" all the time because we mistrust reality, It takes a certain commitment to say something is. Inserting "like" gives you a bit more running room. )"

You make a compelling argument. I suppose this will remain one of life’s grand, dark mysteries.

I remember Rush once saying he was using ‘so’ too much and was going to correct that excess.

I literally would like another drink, but the company I’m in is abhorrent, so I’m literally going to avoid this place.

Never use sarcasm with a kleptomaniac.
They take everything literally.

I'm literally shaking. This can't be happening.
My mom came into my room to give me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from what happened today. I feel like I'm going to explode. This can't be happening. I'm having a breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I cannot deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this.
