Teen Slang: What's, like, so wrong with like?
BBC News Article
This article discusses the use of the word 'like' and the context in which it is used by teenagers. It descibes the word as being used as a filler in conversations and it is only used as most people can't keep highly grammatical language flowing, however it can also be used to exaggerate a situation. For example someone may say "I 'm , like, so tired". The 'like' used in this sentence somehow makes the information being told stand out more and i would say makes people understand the situation more.
