Quotative Like

[[Two stick figures are walking, one is holding an article]] Figure A: I found this article on the linguistics of the "Quotative Like". Figure B: Like when you're like, "She was like"? Figure A: Yeah. Figure A: It features a quote from a linguist, Patricia Cukor-Avila: "Eventually all the people who hate this kind of thing are going to be dead, and the ones who use it are going to be in control." Figure B: Wow. Turns out linguists are pretty hardcore. Figure A: I think she means dead from old age. Figure B: I'm gonna start using "Like" more, just in case. {{Title text: God was like, "Let there be light," and there was light.}}
