Same here. But a long time annoyance of mine is “you know”. And “so he goes...then I go...”.

a long time annoyance of mine is you know. And so he goes...then I go....That will get them a "college boy, eh?" butt-kicking these days. Now it's "So she was like, ..., and I was like, yeah, exactly..."

I can almost excuse "you know," in conversation, as I have been known to use it on occasion myself. I'll even give the verbal crutch "like" the occasional pass, inasmuch as it can lend some color to conversation, depending on the subject and the speaker.
However, I find myself fascinated by the ubiquitous use of "...I was all..." and "...she was all..." in substitution for "...I said..." and "...she said..."
It's almost as if the vocabularies of these children are devoid of any forms of the verb "say."
I'm, like, kinda flummoxed by that, you know? ;-)
