In my haste above, some objects aren't in parallel in one sentence - applicant (singular) and their (plural).

But anyway - in any speeches I make, I won't even use the word like legitimately if I can replace it with a "such as" or "similar to".

Another thing we should remember is that if they're only teenagers, be gentle with them. If they're 40+ with baggy chins, give'um both barrels!

Also, remember mothers are special. Some of these misguided heroins are babbling in like-like to fit in with their daughters. I witnessed this in a cafe when one of the babblers looked like a haggard, drawn version of one of the snips at the table. How sad. Well intentioned guardians passing on the poison.

This phenomenon is as ugly and out of control as the oil leak in the gulf.

Anyone who uses "like" is an inassertive sack of hot air.

When I interview applicants for a job, the first "like" that flatulates out of their mouth is a red flag. Upon the second one, I rip their application right up in front of the applicant's face.

I won't put up with "imlike" and "iwuzlike".

Strongarm robbers and cut-throats in prison talk that way. So do insipid sheltered women. Therein lies the solution - if you hear fishy bimbos babbling in like-like, tell them they sound like prison inmates. If you hear guys talking that way, ask them when they're getting their sex change operations.

I blame Jay Leno for promoting this kind of ignorance and stupidity. I went so far as to send a note to Brooke Shields for talking that way in a Harper's interview. I told her she's too good for that. Good books she's written, good TV shows. I praised her work and told her she doesn't want her little daughter to think it's alright for a 40+ year old woman to talk like a twelve yaar old kid.
