1. interjection, informal A usually meaningless filler word used to bridge pauses mid-speech. Primarily heard in US. That is, like, such a good idea! What if we, like, reroute the power or something? Maybe we could control the terminals remotely.
2. colloquial A meaningless filler word used at the end of a sentence as a means of adding light emphasis. Primarily heard in Ireland, Scotland. That is just ridiculous, like! A: "What did you do while you worked there?" B: "Oh, lots of things, like. I was the errand boy, so to speak."
3. slang Used with the verb be as a reporting verb, especially for a paraphrased or approximate quotation. Tom was like, "I don't like peas," and I was like, "I don't care if you do or you don't—it's what you're having for dinner!"

1. interj. an emphatic or meaningless word that, when said frequently, marks the speaker as speaking in a very casual or slangy mode. (see also like, you know. Used in writing only for effect.) This is, like, so silly!
2. interj. a particle meaning roughly saying. (Always with some form of be. Never used in formal writing.) And I’m like, “Well, you should have put your hat on!”
