i’m doing all this research on when “like” is used as a filler vs. “um” or “uh” or whatever & i’m really loving this

basically my fav pattern so far is how these teen girls use “like” pretty exclusively when they’re sharing these concepts that are unknown to them or  just guess work, ya know? 

they’ll say “here’s the, um, living room” but then they’ll say “in this picture my brother is, like, howling or something” 

& i love it i mean i love the way they use “like” to express uncertainty and idk pensiveness? “um” expresses a break in a sentence, some disfluency. but “like” holds actual semantic meaning and is an indicator that expresses what follows isn’t gonna be totally accurate but just to the speaker’s best estimation.

i mean, he’s, like, howling or something, right? 

girl talk is cool talk

Charlize Theron’s ‘Mad Max’ Prep Secret: Rolling in the Dirt

“When we started the movie, there were all these fancy machines being designed to get the dust on us,” she tells Yahoo Movies, which you can watch in the video above. “Finally, I was just like, ‘Are you guys kidding? I’m going to be here five minutes before we shoot, and I will be rolling in the dirt, and then we will go. They’re like, ‘Really, you’re OK with that?’ It’s like, what’s the difference? Getting the dust from the fancy box or just rolling in the dirt. There’s no difference.”

You are now imagining Charlize Theron in full Imperator Furiosa gear rolling around in the sand. You are now imagining the rest of the cast following suit like a line of rolling ducklings. You are now imagining her leading them to the top of a huge dune and casting herself off to roll down back to the set, shouting “Weeeeeeeeeeeee!” all the way.

Well, I am NOW.

Three of Tutankhamun’s Rings

(a) The green nephrite signet shows the King and Min.
(b) The three-dimensional bezel is formed from a lapis lazuli scarab flanked by an inlaid falcon and moon barque on a cartouche-shaped base. The inlays are green jasper and glass.
© The scarab bezel of the gold ring is of chalcedony; the underside shows Thoth and the udjat.
