So this guy on the internet is like, "Justin Bieber is on Jay Leno, and he's saying 'like,' like, a lot. Maybe I should, like, count how many times he says it, and make, like, a YouTube video."
And then I'm like, "Wow, this video is, like, insane. Bieber says like, like, 63 times! In 11 minutes! I have to, like, tell the whole internet about this."
Seriously, though: I didn't know "like" was still such a huge linguistic phenomenon with the kids these days. I remember being called out for it by my cave-teachers back in the prehistoric 1990s, but I didn't realize today's teen heartthrobs were dropping the L-bomb every ten seconds. Bieber fans, does this revelation make you, like, like him any less?
Oh, and he went on Letterman the next night. We counted 67 "likes" in this one.

Nah, you can tell he was nervous. I'm sure he's realized how many times he said 'like' and knows how dumb it sounded. Everyone does something different when they have to speak, whether it's fidgeting or saying 'like' however many times. I've heard plenty of kids in my classes in high school say it way too much, but it happens.
