“Like.”, as a single word sentence, especially when written or typed, conveys nothing. Inferring something about what only the word “Like” is trying to say with that one word dilutes any meaning in what was previously stated.
People use “like” in real life just as they did here all the time, and people understand them. Therefore it’s language.
That’s my point. It’s language, yes, but used stupidly. People use “like” as a one-word sentence in real life and sound dumb when they do it. Same as “just saying”. Neither convey any further meaning or elucidation of a previous point.
You’re the one that is wrong here both technically and morally.
While language certainly evolves and I wouldn’t call myself the “King of English”, as you say, I am perfectly and “morally” within my rights to opine, loudly even, that the use of “like” as a one-word sentence is (once more, with feeling) stupid and meaningless.
In the words of Charles Bronson, “Take those pearls you’re clutchin’ and shove 'em up your ass.”
You are the one who is dumb in this situation, not the people who have a slightly different dialect than you
This is not a matter of “dialect”. It’s a matter of shitty usage of words that don’t literally, metaphorically, or allegorically mean anything, in context.
I’ve been called worse than “dumb”. Your opinion of what I am in this situation means precisely dick-cheese to me. I don’t know if you’re trying to change my mind, but if you want to call me “dumb”, knock yourself out.
When you get diagnosed with cancer, I hope your doctor, with all the vocal fry they can muster, says, “So you’re, like, gonna die. Like. Just saying.”
I said what I said and I, again, am happy to die on this hill.
i’ll tell you what man i’ll do all that and your dad’s as well if you stop formatting your mundane opinions as headers to try and get people to notice you
I really hope you were referring literally to a whale penis bone. But since I’m not a whale penis bone I’m not sure how your statement makes any sense.
I’m sure that you would never use… SLANG… Like some kind of poor person or minority.
Maybe you can explain how the word dork fits Into that statement that’s consistent with your thoughts about the word “like” and the phrase “just saying”
I guess it would have been more correct to write “Like-.” since that would make it clear that it was an unfinished idea. I interpreted it both as being too exasperated to finish the thought, or as leading into the following paragraph.
“Like” fucking what?!
“LIKE, why the fuck would anyone think a one-word sentence with only the word ‘like’ can convey any meaning whatsoever?”
Edit: Eat my whole asshole, you down-voting vocal-frying dorks. I will always die on this hill. 🖕
Hey buddy, language rules are constructed after the fact to EXPLAIN a language, they aren’t set by the king of English to be followed.

Like.
You don’t think getting upset over “Like.” is pearl clutching?
No.
Claiming that I’m “morally” wrong over my statement that “Like.” as a single-word sentence means nothing is “pearl clutching”.
LIKE. POCKET SAND. K-CH CH CH CHAWWWW
What?
Like.
Sure.
Just pointing out that one word sentences can, and do convey meaning. Often lots of meaning.
I glommed onto that like too, but ignored it and chose not to be a dickhead. Just saying.
“Like” used as a one word sentence means nothing.
What? What are you just saying? Oh, where you referring to the things YOU ALREADY JUST SAID?
Suck my balls.
using header markdown to make your text enormous is far more obnoxious than saying like

You can shove the dork (whale penis bone) in your ass to make you cum while screaming “LIKE! JUST SAYING!” over and over.
