Like

Like is a word that can be used to create similes.

For example, "Like is like like a word that can be used to string together other words that like end up being not exactly proper grammar".

It can also be used to denote a favorable attitude towards something; that is someone may "like" something.

The excessive use of "like" in sentences originated with Shaggy, a hippie character in the cartoon, Scoobie Doo. An example is, "Like, let's get out of here, guys!"
