Here's a fine point. Female hosers insert the word "like" into their sentences even more often than male hosers do. It's a fact. Hang out at any bus stop, listen in, and you will soon discover it for yourself. The phrase "I'm like..." will normally be used to preface something they supposedly said to someone in a recent conversation.

If the word "like" were somehow removed from the English language, female hosers would lose approximately 15% of their daily vocabulary.
