"it was, you know, like"

There's another one that's just as annoying, and it's spreading beyond the younger generation. I even heard broadcasters using it.

"I am so not looking forward to this."

Yes, what another annoying americanism. Normally accuentuated to Sooooooo, as if the shortened version isn't puke making enough.

I've just remembered another really annoying speech trait, someone (usually female) saying 'I'm really liking these new kitten heels', or, even worse 'I'm rocking with the footless tights'.

I think they're being, like, irritating. They do it deliberately, and it seems to work.
