"Like" was an old hippie-era expression from mt "actual" adolescence
(sixties); "Y'know" (the US version of out "eh?"  goes back further
than I even KNOW! Both have become "standarfs" among the
current "younger generation" (who spend about 95 percent of
rheir waking time exchanging content-free text messages via
their ubiquitous cell phones...and VERY occasionally actually
SPEAK to one another...?!
