One distinct thing that girls (and some guys) who have lived in US for long say is 'and I was like.. and then he/she was like ..' and I am like why? Why do you need it? Not just this, they say it in every single line! Even to communicate what they did in the past, they say, ".. and I was like .. ".
Initially, I used to feel as if a small girl is learning to speak and trying really hard to communicate herself. Nowadays, I try and avoid "I was like" people. Conversations with them progress 50% slower because of the redundancy. On secondary thought, imagine the amount of 'word power' US loses because of this. :P
