Like, Know What I'm Sayin' (in English)

LIKE, LIKE, LIKE

SHUTUP!

“ Um, I was like, you know…totally, like… Whatever

SAY IT!!!
/lik/ = n. a simile
v. to treasure something


Tell me what really happened, not what similarly occurred.

Be more creative in your expressions if you want me to listen, hear, and understand.

Know what you’re saying. Understand the language that you use.

Cherish it. Don’t take it for granted. Don’t misuse it.

Language is a gift to communicate.

I’m careful with my speech, how I communicate. I believe that words have meaning, and if I want you to listen , then I should and will carefully choose words to construct a meaningful sentence that enables fluid communication.

Get rid of meaningless blabber filler words that cultivate confusion!
Be comfortable to pause.

Be quick in generating ideas and putting them to words that are heard.

I hate it when someone comes up to me and rambles on…

saying, “LIKE…Like, I was sayin’, 'you know,' I was all like this, know what I’m sayin’? Like, she was like, whatever. It was sooooo surreal."

LIKE…

Totally for sure, dude
I was all, you know, like
And she was all, like, duh…
Oh bro, ‘sup?
Um, y’know wha’ I’m sayin’?
Yo, dude, it was sooooo like, surreal
It’s all good, man
Kh…
It was like, sooooo awesome

People “talk” like this all the time! It totally bugs me.

“Know wha’ I’m sayin’?”

MY RESPONSE: “Actually, NO, I HAVE NO CLUE! Please try again.”
