Like, here's the episode on "like" | STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW

[Music]. welcome to stuff you should know a. production of iHeart. Radio hey and welcome to the podcast I'm. Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry's here. too and this is stuff you should. know another linguistic. fantastic gigantic. Edition. divisive I guess really though I mean if. you're standing up against the use or.

overuse of the word like just take your. head out of the hole and look around and. see other things that are really worth. your time and effort and attention and. energy yeah we we've gotten the random. email here and there and and like you. said we're talking about the word like. uh not as in like you said although. we're going to cover all the you know uh. supposedly proper uses yeah also we're. going to accidentally use like or. unconsciously use it and this is going. to be a really confusing episode episode.

yeah because it's how people talk for. the most part and it's not just young. girls as we'll see that's true sort of a. sexist thing to think and a misnomer uh. we all do it uh generally unless you are. one of those people who thinks that it. debases the human language uh and speech. and you have taken a real stand against. it you know God speed if that's the hill. you want to die on but like it ain't. mine no some people get so into it they.

throw cows blood on people on the street. when they use the word. like so um Chuck let's talk about the. word like itself okay just there is like. plenty of oh my God I just did it there. is plenty of good usage or accepted. usage of it that's that's not. controversial at all um which makes. sense because it's been with us for a. really long time apparently like goes. all the way back to Old English that's. some old English right eightball 800.

yeah there's a word called gel gelled. and I looked it up it is Led even though. you think it was led l i t c h that's. how it's pronounced but it's spelled g e. l i c gel and basically yeah and. basically it meant with the body lch. meant body really it meant corpse so um. that was the like literal meaning of. gell gelit gel.

so uh practically speaking Gite meant uh. with the body of and then eventually. kind of similar to MH and then over time. because language changes thank goodness. we don't speak Old English anymore uh. jel like that's even hard to say on its. own uh that was shortened to just l i. which I guess would just be L yeah and. by then it had lost the connection to. corpse and body and became the root of. the word like as in similar to yeah.

isn't that fascinating it originally. meant corpse uh and it meant related to. the corpse then it meant to with the. body of similar to and then just similar. boom bam bomb I love it and for a long. long time it was used uh in Old English. like as a suffix uh and then that. carried over like uh f o l c l i c would. have been I guess fol focalized mhm.

sounds German uh like folk like in other. words. folksy uh but then you know American. started using it like you know uh Josh. looks angry like or that person is Saint. likee and sometimes we still use it like. that but in general we came up with ly. to stick on the end of a word to make it. an adverb and so we got words like. slowly and saintly instead of Saint like. and slow likee yeah so Lee l y seems to. be have evolved into an abbreviation for.

like it still means the same thing we. just say it differently it's abbreviated. mhm um ver the verb to like um means. like to be pleasing or sufficient right. sure originally it operated in Reverse. Dave helped us with this by the way. great job Dave but um if you if you. liked something it wasn't expressed as. you like it it was that the thing you. like likes you mhm there's a example. from the two gentlemen of Veron a. Shakespeare play where one says to uh.

one character says to another the music. likes you not which means you don't like. the music and then eventually everybody. was like we sound insane talking like. this and made it the way that it should. be which is how we say it today which. would just be you don't like the music. yeah uh there was other weird usages. back then that is uh that have all since. sort of Gone Away um things earlier I. guess up through the 17th century um you.

could say lier or likest I know um like. could use almost or nearly as in um like. that play was so boring I like to fell. asleep like I almost fell asleep I like. that yeah that's a good one uh and then. I believe in about the mid 19th century. which was a pretty late on the scene. usage was uh feel like like I feel like. going bowling as in I'm in the mood to. go bowling.

I should have said that likes me right. the bowling likes you yeah so um since. this has been around what just for. probably close to a thousand years maybe. maybe more um Old English is around for. a while um it's it's like has evolved. but as far as words go it's really. really evolved and it's still evolving. before our very eyes but over the years. in Modern English um some some widely. accepted.

grammatically correct uses of like have. come. about only five don't even try to go. beyond that yeah there are supposedly. only five um as a verb obviously uh. meaning to enjoy mhm uh I don't think we. have to explain that uh as a noun like. here is a a list of my. likes right yeah oh okay my my turn um. similar to which is kind of like of the. body the original version of like uh.

that's a preposition so like you smell. like a wet dog or there's an example in. here that looks like your. spatula what what situation would that. arise in uh a Chef cooking competition I. guess so where it was stolen by the evil. Chef yeah yeah looks like here's Fula. Josh like the wingman friend Chef is. like that looks like your spatula yeah. yeah okay we figured it out I feel. better now we figured it out uh what.

else a conjunction replacing as um you. know like my dad always said uh don't. bother me for. advice oh sorry I was getting. personal like Josh always said never. trust family right exactly the famous. quote okay so those are those are the. ones oh there's one more is a suffix. like remember we said saint Lee or. something like that um like still hangs. around in some cases like you wouldn't.

say um that that guy's uh innocent. Approach To Nature is very childly it's. childlike yeah yeah but isn't that. interesting that they mean the exact. same thing but you could use one for in. one instance but not in another they're. not just interchangeable I love that. yeah and childlike is not childish two. different things there too exactly but. there's no such thing as child Lee I. think is my larger Point sure that's. pretty much the point of the entire. podcast really really yeah and my point.

is childlike is wonderful and childish. is awful true. that we should do one on ish that's a. good one I looked it up I wondered if. that came from Lich or lch and it. doesn't it's a it's an even older word I. think that means from the country of the. origin of so you would be. Georges yeah and now people even my own. daughter the other day asked her. something and she went ish yeah it'd be. worth one for sure down the road maybe a.

shorty okay. shortish a short like episode should we. a shortly episode should we take a break. Le uh surely okay let's do that now very. [Music]. interesting.

I just got to say this is getting pretty. fun you knew it was going to be yeah. right I didn't know sure I didn't I. figured we'd be slinging slinging the. slang uh and that's where we come to now. actually good setup me uh the slang of. like is where people. um people some people tend to get upset. it's interesting Dave here says most.

people believe that any use of like uh. outside those um acceptable ways is. meaningless I would say some people I. don't think most people believe that at. all right I thought that was an odd odd. word to use too yeah come on Dave I. can't tell you the last time I ran into. anybody who really had an issue with it. we haven't gotten an email on it for a. while but every once in a while someone. will write in and you could tell her. just like bleeding from their eyeballs. like they are they hate us so much. because we used the word like yeah yeah.

um and it's just like I can't do. anything for you man I'm not going to. stop talking the way I talk for you yeah. the way it is uh nothing personally yeah. of course um the slang that we're. talking about though uh that people have. a problem with and these people are. generally like you know it's filler uh. it's not even a word it's basically your. um or your uh your abusing it you're. overusing it and some people even go so. far as to say like I mentioned earlier. like you're you're destroying the. English language okay so those people.

just I guess buckle up because this is. the the part we're going into now. because it turns out if you um if you. hang out with the hip linguists they. will tell you man like like really. performs a lot of like really important. functions yeah that's ex like exactly. what they would say to you phds exactly. exact like.

uh so Dave wrote up a little script um. do you want to play guy number one or. guy number two I would like to be guy. two okay you know what's funny is this. sounds like a conversation we would have. it totally does backstage at the mall. yeah all right here we go guy number one. that's me okay hey Josh have you like. seen what they're charging for the new. Jordans I know they're like a million. dollars like who can afford this stuff. uh I think they're like 250 at Foot.

Locker which is still crazy like I get. that they're cool and everything but if. I paid $250 for shoes Yumi would be like. we're getting a. divorce and and. scen so we're going to break this down. uh and I thought this was a pretty good. way for Dave to go about this so hats. off to Dave but um we're gonna break. this down because every single use of. the word like in that dramatic scene. that we just portrayed for.

everyone wonder why our TV show got. canceled uh they all have a use they all. have a function and those functions even. have names yeah it's true and it's not. like they made up these names for like. they said the these these terms these. different kinds of grammatical usage um. that that make up a lot of slang. especially in American spoken English. that's very important we're talking. almost exclusively here about spoken. English yeah um that that like fills.

some of those those already established. compartments all right so what's first. the first is um the way that I think. most people who like deride like um the. what they focus on the most which is. called the a. quotative uh technically a quotative. complimentizer yeah which basically. you're saying that you you're it sets up. an impression a paraphrase of what. another person had said would said um.

might say like like when I said Yumi. would be like we're getting a divorce I. I'm not expecting you to believe in that. conversation that Yumi told me that I I. she's going to divorce me if I spend. $250 on some Air Jordans MH but you know. that the sentiment is generally true. maybe if a little exaggerated so what. that like is doing right there is. signaling to you in conversation hey I'm.

take what I'm saying with the grain of. salt here I'm fudging a little bit but. I'm still just trying to get a general. point across yeah and also uh D points. out it can also be used to set up like a. u a mimic or a uh like an impression of. the speaker you didn't do it there. because you're respectful Yi right but. another uh gentleman might say you know. my wife would be like we're getting a. divorce right or something like that it.

is used a lot of times to set up uh or. like you know let's say it was Sammy. Davis Jr okay Sammy would Sammy would be. like uh I'm gonna file. tomorrow for divorce that was. lovely that was love likee so uh the. next thing we can talk about is the. approximate adverb usage in this scene. um that is when it's used this is very. very common this is when it's used to.

mean you know around pretty much more or. less just about like when I said I think. they're like $250 at Foot Locker M um. that means you know there were two or. 300 people there like there were like. two or 300 people there uh the bill was. like 70 bucks or something that means. you're rounding up or you're. approximating something yeah and again. in this sense too like signals to The. Listener like hey don't don't fully take.

what I'm saying as fact I'm not trying. to be 100% accurate here I'm trying to. get a general idea across that this is. really expensive um I saw a paper in the. journal autism and developmental. language impairments by Jones Zayn and. Grossman 2022 red hot still off the. presses yeah and they use this example. of say somebody saying like I have like. a 100 Pair of Shoes right you could have. 40 pairs of shoes and because you use. the word like uhhuh that still gets the.

point across and you're speaking you're. communicating in like a still. essentially an accurate way what you're. saying is I have a lot of shoes now it's. it's actually 60 less than the number I. just threw up but it doesn't matter. because 40 is still a pretty big number. right what Al is doing here is standing. in for approximately and in this case. approximately wouldn't work because if. you said I have approximately 100 shoes. and you actually have 40 that number is. so way off that you're essentially.

either lying or totally incorrect like. scuttles all that and says hey just just. go with me here a little bit I'm just. saying I have a bunch of shoes yeah it. really covers your bases uh that's a. legitimate function of conversation no. absolutely um I do want to poke Dave. here just once because one example he. used was the movie starts at like 2 or 3. like well that's okay St kind of. important you should be pretty specific. Dave always late we just.

movies uh all right what's next we have. the discourse marker right yeah this is. pretty important too right so this is um. probably something that you didn't know. that it was called this but we all use. discourse markers all the time uh he. found another linguist name an kurzan. who has this analogy where uh it's like. traffic a discourse marker is like a. traffic signal or road sign that help. you na navigate spoken English and like.

is very versatile in this function. because it can mean a bunch of different. things uh as a discourse marker the. first of which um like you said it could. be exaggeration and in this case of our. scene um I know these Jordans are like a. million dollars you know it's obviously. not a million dollars but it sets it up. as uh I'm clearly exaggerating yeah it's. similar to the pair of shoes thing too. where if I said know they're a million. dollars you'd be like no they're not.

that's a little high I am from Russia. right in Mother Russia Air Jordan's by. you in Russia music likes you. not uh it can used it can be used as a. discourse marker for emphasis uh in our. scene have you seen have you like seen. what they're charging for these new Air. Jordans so like just sort of of. emphasizes scene and it just sort of.

pumps up that like hey it's something. outrageous is about to come your way. yeah another one is um like let me. elaborate so when I think I said like. who can afford this stuff I'm actually. elaborating on a a a previous sentence. about how expensive they are so they're. really expensive let me elaborate who. out there could afford this stuff that's. how expensive they are just adding like. right there cuts down on all that extra.

fat trims it trims it like a a packer in. 1906 in. Chicago yeah and you know there are. probably people out there that are. saying well you could drop the word like. in a lot of these instances uh maybe not. the million dollars one and stuff like. that but you could say in that sentence. who can afford this stuff and I get that. but that doesn't mean that putting like. in is bad necessarily right and who. wants to sound like Larry David all the. time. nobody Larry David yeah I guess uh what.

else what's. surprise it's funny it gets across. surprise but you have to use it in a a. really um. unsurprised tone to for it to be. effective so um for example if if. somebody you would not expect showed up. at a party and you went she's here you. can kind of get that across like like. I'm really surprised that she's here. maybe a little chilled that she's here.

she should not be here that kind of. thing but if you say she's like. here that really gets it across gets it. across a little better and but you have. to you can't be like she's like here. that doesn't work you have to tone it. down and do the opposite and it's then. it conveys surprise it's it's. fascinating it's amazing that that this. is how we talk and nobody's writing this. stuff down the linguists are writing. this stuff down from studying what. people are doing in real time and. conversation this is not part of like.

the modern language associations like. handbook. yeah for sure uh the last one we're. going to talk about is as a discourse. particle and this is the one this is. this is the real bad guy as far as like. haters go don't you think probably yeah. I think this is I mean this is the one. that that that people will say is. clearly just inserted in there as filler. it is the one that is infecting our.

language uh is this discourse particle. use and that is um I I believe the the. woman who wrote the book uh Alexandra. Darcy she's a linguist said I believe a. PhD if I'm not mistaken um said that. using it as a discourse particle doesn't. uh doesn't change the meaning of a. sentence necessarily but it does set a. tone and operates in the interpersonal. realm exactly right so. for example um if you are talking about.

somebody um who you just like they've. made some bad Life Choices or whatever. and you're expressing this to somebody. else but you don't want to make it sound. like you don't like that person like you. want to express that you still like that. person but they've made some bad life. choices and you're a little a little. disappointed in that you could say two. things you could say um I love her but. she's dumb. right uhhuh if you like you sound kind.

of like a jerk so what you can do is use. like you can pepper sentences with like. to kind of Pat it um for example you. would say like I love her but she's like. dumb that's that gets across to the. listener like hey I still care about. this person I'm not really putting them. down I'm just trying to get across some. stuff that I I'm just getting something. off my chest here between you and me. yeah absolutely it's sort of it works as. a softener uh like this example too if.

someone asks you to go do something uh. like hey Josh you want to go to dinner. and you said sorry I'm tired that's like. oh well Josh clearly doesn't want to. have dinner with me correct but if you. said sorry I'm just like really tired. then that just softens things uh like. the interpretation is I would really. love to go to dinner with you but I'm. tired correct and you don't have to say. all that other stuff no no it's it's so. it's it's a softener that's a really. great way to put it I think that's how. John mcorder put it um the linguist and.

um it also works in Reverse too because. it acts as a shielding right you're. shielding the other person's Feelings by. adding those likes you're saying like I. I don't dislike you um I'm not trying to. be mean here I just I I know you're. probably going to be disappointed so I. want to just kind of get this this. information across as gently as possible. and peppering it with likes does that. but like I said Works in Reverse it it. Shields the speaker too in some cases it.

acts as a hedge to where you are saying. you're giving yourself plausible. deniability you're not saying I'm 100%. confident in what I'm saying I'm pretty. sure but because I'm adding like it's. hedging it so that if I'm wrong it's not. the end of the world it's not that much. egg on my face so if if you were asking. if somebody asked what you were or what. you did for a living and I didn't know I. could say I think like he's a podcaster. or I think he's like a. podcaster that's like it it just Hedges.

it a little bit and then and it protects. the speaker in this case rather than. protects the the receiver but it's the. same function essentially yeah I mean we. do that all the time when we're just. pulling something off the dumb we're not. sure about yeah but people still email. in and tell me how wrong wrong wrong I. am well uh Alexandria Darcy would say. that if you use uh like as a discourse. particle mhm then that means that you. are emotionally intelligent yeah that.

means you have very much an awareness of. who you're speaking to and how your. words are being received and there have. been studies that uh that have shown. that when people hear speech that do not. have like or other discourse particles. that uh and you know is another one you. know that uh people sound robotic and. unfriendly and unnatural and that these. discourse particles conversationally. make people feel at ease it's almost. like hard water and the likes are water.

softeners. right it's the best I can come up with. should we take another break yes all. right we will be right. [Music]. back.

so chuck if you um ask people even. people use the word like like where did. where did the use of like come from when. did we start using like in English. spoken English most people would if. given the chance to think about it say. Valley girls yeah I'm pretty sure it's. Valley girls uh Valley girls are. Teletubbies one of the two and you'd be. like it wasn't Teletubbies but also it. wasn't Valley girls Valley girls. popularized it but we were using like. way before but one of the reasons why.

people think Valley girls is in part. because of a 1982 song by Frank Zappa. that introduced Valley girls to the. United States like they were pretty much. confined to the San Fernando Valley. until that Frank Zappa song came along I. think yeah and this is you know part of. Greater Los Angeles if you're not. familiar but uh in ' 82 he put out the. song valley girl with his daughter Moon. Zappa and it really you know sort of. mocked that way of speaking uh the movie.

valley girl was uh it was not for the. movie the movie came out a year later MH. and that obviously made it even more. popular uh other movies like Fast Times. at Ridge M high and then later in the. 90s with uh clueless uh which brought. other terms that a lot of people hate. like whatever and as if uh but like you. said these things really popularize it. it didn't invent it and we know it. because there's actual proof If you go. back even just a little while and look.

at history of uh in the 1950s and 1960s. with with the beats and the Hep talk or. jive talk uh bbop they were saying like. like crazy and writing it in their books. it was all over the place yeah so Dave. gives some examples of Bop talk or jive. talk or Jazz talk uh crazy was one we. use that a lot cool the tops that's. reminds me a melt toret gone as in gong.

girl dig hip and then he includes Etc. which I didn't realize was Bop talk I. thought that was. Latin that's funny you almost got. me uh but they would use the word like a. lot like you know that cat is like crazy. or you know like he is so square or like. I was really grooving you know they used. it basically in the exact same way. approximate adverbs discourse markers. and disc course particles the same way. Valley girls in the 80s used it and the.

same way people of all Stripes use it. today yeah and if you were into jazz at. the time you were probably somewhat. familiar of Bop talk but um it filtered. into the Beats um who kind of introduced. it to an even wider audience in the. United States like it's it pops up here. there and on the road from Jack caroak. sure so we know at least as far back as. the beats and probably before that in. the with jazz musicians in the 40s um. like was used in the same slangy way.

that we use it now mult multiple ways we. use it now um but that the the valley. girls are the ones that seem to have. introduced or at least popularized that. the latest version or use of like which. is that quotative version where it sets. up a paraphrase. quote yeah and I think they did not find. and you know they dug around I believe. uh that Darcy and her bookbound uses in. England in the 19th century where they.

would use the word like in several. different ways that we use it now but. that one the uh what was it called again. what the oh the quotative use yeah yeah. the quotative that's the one that seems. to have really been truly born in the. 80s yeah and it's probable or possible. that Valley girls did not make that up. but it it became part of Valley Girl Val. speak along with like gag me with a. spoon and totally tubular and all. teenagers talk like that back then yeah.

but apparently Ground Zero for it was. the valley that that's where it emerged. from at the very least that's where. people thought that it emerged from like. kids I think it's that kids in Ohio. weren't necessarily talking like that I. know my sisters didn't talk like that. until those movies came. out I heard stuff like that I I think it. I think it popularized it but I think. teenagers were I mean maybe not some of. the particular phras. mhm but the use of like you know was.

definitely around before that movie okay. no no no for sure I mean popularly right. um okay but most people point to or were. exposed to it from Valley girls not the. movie I'm saying like the. concept the social Trend Valley. girls right because of the movie right. so um that's the one that most people. associate with Valley girls for a reason. they're the ones who popularized it but.

people blame Valley girls for the whole. use of like in a lot of ways and it's. kind of translated since the early 80s. into young girls you don't have to be. Valley girls like the idea is just young. girls talk like that they're the ones. who use like all the time if they are. infecting the language that's what some. people think and that apparently is not. just incorrect factually it's pretty. sexist in the way that that disco Dem. demolition night Riot where people were. just going crazy on Disco records in.

Chicago um was um. homophobic yeah and and racist yeah for. sure yeah I mean you know there's a. history of that still goes on today of. sort of thinly veiled coded um like it's. okay to like it's not okay to to to make. fun of uh someone because of uh you know. their age age or because of their uh. gender identity or their ethnicity or.

something but it's still generally okay. to make fun of the way someone might. talk uh and that oftentimes is coded uh. in this case for young women yeah. because kind of as a rule the. contributions the intellectual. contributions of young women in the. United States are not there's not a huge. High emphasis on traditionally there. hasn't been especially among older men. they're very much looked down upon but. again you can't just be like you're. stupid because you're a a 20-year-old.

girl but you could say like you sound. really immature because you use like a. lot it's still the same thing you've. just found a different entree into. devaluing that person's contributions or. that group's. contributions well I mean you need not. look any further than someone like Greta. thurberg you know she Ed like a lot no. I'm just talking about when she first. came on the scene yeah uh sort of all. you heard about was like oh you know. this young girl this young girl she's a.

rabble Rouser I think it's said you know. generally derisively by a lot of people. generally older uh older men in politics. for sure sure yeah I know that's a great. example of. it um so I said factually that doesn't. make um it's not accurate our linguist. Heroes Darcy and Katherine Kinsler um. and others have studied this they. actually do studies to find out who. actually uses like and they found that.

in general just using like men and women. use it with about the same frequency but. when you dig down a little further you. drill down into it to get into the real. granular meat of the whole subject um. kind of like a a 1906 packer in Chicago. with a really sharp knife and. tuberculosis um you find that there are. distinctions between age and gender um. that that in the use of like in. different ways yeah for sure so what.

they found was uh for the approximate. adverb form uh meaning you know almost. are just about men and women use it. equally uh the discourse particle uh. like the softener uh or the. interpersonal like uh Men actually use. it more frequently than. women uh the discourse particle form. like. uh what's a good example there um the. discourse marker would be like uh. emphasis like have you seen oh okay yeah.

that one they found that women do use it. more frequently the the big one was the. new kid on the uh Block in the 80s a. quotative uh con complimentizer it's. such a stupid word it really is um. that's the one that is significantly. used more frequently by women than men. yeah so yeah and also there's this idea. that it's just young the younger. Generations that use it and that's they. the younger Generations definitely use. it more frequently um and in more um.

interesting and and diverse ways but. it's still filters to other age groups. and there's apparently um Darcy included. some quotes from Brits in their 70s to. 90s who were using like in ways that we. recognize as the slang uses of like like. one of them said a 75-year-old. respondent said they were just like. sitting waiting to. die can you do a a 75-year-old British.

woman impression I I don't think so. okay uh yeah I mean you know clear. examples of uh people of a certain age. using the word like uh the one again the. one big exception is the quotative like. uh which supposedly women use or not. supposedly I guess they found in their. study uh use more than men and it's also. almost exclusively used by younger. people but again Young people are always. the ones that are changing language and.

thinking up new words and trying out new. usages since the beginning of time yeah. so there's a a larger question that we. still haven't fully answered um and and. that is like do the people who hate like. and say it's infecting the language do. they have a point and turns out the. answer is no not really they have some. sort of weird personal Vendetta which. may or may not be sexist in nature or a. at least um that if you if you look at.

how the word like is used it provides. all sorts of unique functions that other. words don't necessarily fill like. remember I said approximately would work. in some cases but not in other cases um. like has carved or we've used like to. carve out or fill voids that no other. words had filled before in spoken. English language and yes it looks weird. on paper but we're not talking about on. paper we're talking about in a. conversation and like is a way that.

people make sure that you're with them. still when they're talking to you that. you feel included that your your. feelings are being acknowledged it it it. provides all sorts of really interesting. functions it does and in short it's just. the way people talk generally yes for. sure all right uh well if you want to. know more about like just start. listening and you will drive yourself. mad and if you don't feel like doing. that just read some linguistic papers on. it there's some interesting stuff out.

there uh and since I said that it's time. for listener. mail I'm going to call this uh Simpsons. clue okay the board game all uh hey guys. just finish to the episode on clue uh I. am so excited to tell you this about the. Simpsons Clue board game maybe you saw. in your research but it is so unbrand. for you to had to make sure that you. aware of its existence uh in the game. name Mr Burns is murdered and the. characters are Marge as Mrs peacock.

Homer as Mr Green Lisa as Miss Scarlet. uh Bart as Professor Plum crusty as. Colonel. [Laughter].
