This is like when characters, like, constantly throw the word "like" into their sentences. Frequently used by like, teenage girl characters who are, like, um, a little dim? And every sentence ends with, like, an upwards inflection? Usage doesn't seem to be limited to, like, specific character types, although it does seem to be used more by girls than, like, boys. Can get into, like, Totally Radical territory if, like, this character trait is used, like, randomly out of place. Right, that's enough of that… hopefully you can see how unclear and annoying that can make dialogue! This trope definitely needs to be used sparingly, unless you really want to make a character The Scrappy. The word "like" can be used in many ways; Adverbs, when it can mean 'nearly' or 'about' — "She's only, like, 5 miles away", or 'for example' — "You could catch, like, herpes". Quotatives, when you wish to quote another character — "she was like, 'Like is totally a quotative!'" 'Hedges', when you want to show you don't quite mean what you're saying literally, but as simile or hyperbole — "I, like, died". 'Fillers', if you don't wanna use, like, "um..." or "er...". Another place like turns up is in Welsh speech. Leet Lingo frequently uses "liek" as a deliberate typo. Dave Barry once pointed out that one of the reasons young people may talk like this could be to make sure the person they're talking to is paying attention to them. This is, like, Truth in Television, as many parents will gripe about this trope — although people will use it in Totally Radical ways that don't match any actual teenagers' speech. Also a prominent trait of the Valley Girl and of the stereotypical Beatnik. Despite being now widely used in standard English, it's also Older Than They Think: the oldest quote cited for this sense in the Oxford English Dictionary comes from 1778.note in F. Burney's Evelina: "Father grew quite uneasy, like, for fear of his Lordship's taking offence." Screenwriter I. A. L. Diamond (who was born in 1920) and director Billy Wilder (born in 1906) had Marilyn Monroe use the expression in the 'hedge' sense above in their 1959 period comedy Some Like It Hot. Compare Verbal Tic, contrast Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic. Not to be confused with Dude, She's Like in a Coma, though that trope's title is both an example of this one and a probable inspiration for its title. No relation to Like Likes. Or the Like button. |

Hong Kong, especially in Hetalia Bloodbath 2010, has a tendency to do this as well, although not quite to the same extent as Poland (similarly, this is a translation of his Gyaru-o dialect, which has speech patterns like that of a teenage boy). | |

Lovrina of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is a variation; she doesn't use like as a comma but inserts "so" into her sentences often enough that it almost reaches Verbal Tic levels. Plus, she's not dim at all, being the head researcher of Cipher. | |

The Internet Historian's video on the infamous Dashcon includes a mention of an apology panel the organizers held near the end of the con to discuss what went wrong. He then gives a "quick summary" of it, which is a ten-second supercut of the thousand and one times one of the organizers used the word "like" in this manner. | |

In Leisure Suit Larry 2, Barbara Bimbo randomly inserts "like" and "you know" into her sentences at random, even in places where this would be unnatural for most speakers. This results in her accidentally naming Larry as the winner of the Dating Connection game, since her odd speaking patterns cause the host to misunderstand the word "too" as "two" (i.e., contestant #2). | |

The kids in My So-Called Life pretty much used "like" like, like, a Verbal Tic. Ironically, this is one of the things the show was lauded for, as it was probably the first instance of true-to-life "teen speak" in a television show. Until then, teenagers on television usually spoke exactly like adults, except with gratuitous Totally Radical lingo thrown in. | |

In Issue #3 of the My Little Pony Micro Series, hippy pony Flax Seed always says "like" every other word. It's even lampshaded by Rarity and his annoyed wife, Wheat Grass. | |

Poland from Hetalia: Axis Powers is shown to do this in Fanon, due to the translation of his Nagoya Schoolgirl dialect into a Valley Girl accent. Coincidentally, this, like, totally fits with his canon personality. Hong Kong, especially in Hetalia Bloodbath 2010, has a tendency to do this as well, although not quite to the same extent as Poland (similarly, this is a translation of his Gyaru-o dialect, which has speech patterns like that of a teenage boy). |

Shaggy from Scooby-Doo does this a lot. In one episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Velma tries to make him stop. Harlan Ellison drew attention to this trait. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, it's revealed that everyone in Shaggy's family does this. Shaggy was in large part an expy of Maynard G. Krebs from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, who was, like, way ahead of the curve on this one. |

One gag on Modern Family has Haley and a friend of hers sitting in the back of the car while Claire is driving. Haley is sprinkling "likes" into her sentences like she's overusing a salt shaker and Claire gets annoyed enough to ask her to stop saying "Like". Cue Haley throwing a fit and screaming "YOU'RE EMBARRASSING MEEEEEE!" | |

DougDoug uses this a lot, as he found out when he attempted a challenge where he tried to beat Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in Classic Mode, but every time he says the name of one of the characters, he dies. It doesn't take long for him to realize that "like" happens to include the name Ike in it. | |

Yuudachi in the KanColle anime ends her sentences in POI. This is essentially the Japanese version of like and is used to simulate the Japanese equivalent of the valley girl. Interestingly enough this has not made her the scrappy as warned above, rather it actually made her an ascended meme. To the point where even in the English sub her pois are kept in. There's even a POIPOIPOI remix And a chart on how many times she said the damn thing in each of the episodes.◊ Another interesting thing to note is that in the manga Kancolle: Shimikaze, girl of the Whirlwind, her pois are translated into like. Even Shimikaze refers to her with the nickname like-like-chan. |

Mermista does this in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, although she's basically the exact opposite of the stereotype: far from a ditzy Valley Girl, she's a fairly smart Deadpan Snarker with a particular line in Flat Joy. | |
