And yes, I'm millennial.
so you're fine using 'like' as, like, a pause word, but not in similes?
Ohh I see you're missing out on the fun side of "legit" Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says "legit"
Also isn't it some kind of skateboard term from the 90's? "Broooo that 720 was legiiit ๐ค"
"Like" is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it's just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like
Wait, so you just hate similes?
You feel me?
