Maybe it's the Dutchie in me but I sooo cannot stand how it's normal in American TV shows that everyone says "like" in every freaking sentence  

Like dis, like that, like, like, like  

It sounds so uh.. dumb..

@stux If you want to hear where it got a toehold, check out Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl." His then-teenage daughter Moon Unit riffed the Southern California 80s teenspeak.

Like, gag me with a spoon ;-)
