Didn't this construct recently become, like, accepted English grammar or something? Or was it the "because <noun>" thing?


It wasnt any one colloquialism that made it annoying, but the whole phrasiology package combined with the moral high ground.

"so like, folks, you know like, heres the thing, here we are, puttin out there, the fact that we are actually,"

Its my bias of course, but I have never respected anyone who speaks that way, nor have I been given reasons to do so. If its not a critical context, its fine. But this was, so it came off very karen.

Elegant trolling... for a more civilized age.
