Last year on the train I sat behind a couple of early 20ish women and their conversation was riddled with - I'm like, he's like and she's like when they mean said.
e.g. He's like, "Where did you go?" And I'm like, "To Parramatta."
Irritated me no end. Reminded me of some years ago when they were saying I go, he goes and she goes for said. That came from a tv comedy program I think.
