I use like, was like, was all, totally, Seriously? and Really? (in the are you effing kidding me with that sense), and for a while I could not agree with someone without saying, "I know, right?" but I've more or less stopped that. (And I picked that up here, which is weird... like, I translated it into spoken word, and then started using it. Freak).

But I don't use literally as an intensifier.

God, if my niece uses "legit" any more than she does right now, it will, heh, literally be in every sentence she utters. That's the only one that grates on my nerves at the moment.

I love shortened words, too. The first time I saw "totes," it was love. (Pretty sure it was bon bon here.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Brinicle ice finger of death is my favourite headline of the morning: [link]

That video is freaky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That video is freaky.

INORITE????

I mean, it looks like FX, not just stop motion, at least in part because my brain can't wrap itself around the reality of it. It's killing starfish before our eyes!

Yeah, I was totally like, "No, starfish! Move away from the icy finger of death, not towards it!"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I overuse that sense of like and abuse "actually" and "of course."

In conversation, I would only ask someone if he really meant literally if he said "literally explodes," and there was some small chance that was true.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That brinicle is literally killing lots of totes cute starfish.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, Karl... I am so sorry.
