Few things infuriate me as much as the over usage of the word “like” when people speak. So many examples, but I heard someone just last week respond to a question by saying “Like never.” How can something be “like never”? That said, excessive use of “you know” and “you know what I mean?” are incredibly annoying.

When I was a teenager, whenever my sister or I (or our friends for that matter) would say “you know” around my father, he would immediately interrupt us with “why no, I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me.”

We all stopped.
