Re: USAGE: 'like' as a referent to quoting

In my speech among *friends* (never in a formal situation such as
work) I often say:

"He was all drunk because he had three Long Island fuckmeups"

"She was like upset because that bitch pissed her off"

"He went "Oh my god, you are NOT wearing a dog print head scarf,
shorts, white gym socks, and sandals!"

And yes, I cuss like a sailor when I'm with my friends.

You'd be surprised how many adults will say "all like" "go" and "be
like" in informal discourse.
