They use the same words over and over. The word “like” and “basically” are used so many times in the course of a 60 second conversation that it seems that’s all they are saying.
When my daughter was in High School I broke her from that. Tell me your story without using the word “like”. It really stumped her at first and she would storm off. I was persistent and every time she repeated that word I would stop the conversation. It actually worked.
Now I have “educated” employees who never got the lesson. It’s like basically irritating, you see what I’m saying?
Yes, just like Sesame Street, I see what you are saying.
