I hate hearing that more than anything esle! "He goes" instead of "He said", and "He's like" instead of "He said". When I hear a person saying one of those phrases repeatedly, I want to have them write down what they're saying and listen to how stupid it sounds and looks when read.

My brother-in-law exchanges "says" and "goes". As in "he goes "oh yeah?" then says bam on the side of his head"

I've always interpreted "he said" as

"Now I'm going to repeat the words that he used"

and "he's like" as

"Now I'm going to do a whole body imitation of him at the moment that he said these words"

As a Brit in the US with young children, I use a shitload of phrases that "aren't me". But I'm a big fan of "adapt and survive" so it just makes me laugh when I hear myself saying "that was awesome, dude, give me a high five!".

I have yet to say:

Where is he at?
It's gotten cold.

but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I don't care. I love language. I see beauty, history and culture in the differences.
