It always gets me angry that I here the word "like" overused so
often... It seems to be every other word out of many people's mouths
these days... I once counted someone saying "like" 20 times within
sixty seconds... I guess there's nothing that can be done about it
except to try and ignore it...

"Cobwebs " (Loudon Wainwright III)
Well it stumbles and it falls off of almost every tongue
Give a listen and you will hear
Its lurkinı like a land mine
In almost every sentence
Itıs an assault to my mindıs ear
Yeah it mighta started back with Jack Kerouac
Probably more than likely it was Maynard G. Krebs
Itıs the four-letter word that used to mean ³as if²
And the meaningıs covered in cobwebs
Used to be a preposition
Then it was a conjunction
Now itıs used as an audible pause
Oh I hate it when I hear it
Especially when I say it
Gotta stamp it out
There oughta be some laws
College boys valley girls
Mall rats grandmommys
Everybodyıs misusing that word
I heard it four times in one poor little sentence
It was the saddest sound I ever have heard
Cobwebs Cobwebs Cobwebs
I suppose you could blame it on my generation
Chickens from the 60's finally comin' to roost
I been sayinı it myself for over 30 years now
Just to give my cool quota just a little bitty kind of a boost
But when I hear it I canıt stand it
Specially cominı out of the mouth
Of trite of my own kids
Itıs been taught and caught
What have we wrought?
Give a listen, hear what we did
I prefer ³ah² or ³er²
You can rest assured
If youıre sayinı what you mean
Then it donıt mean a thing
Itıs just an ugly little four-letter word
Doesnıt anybody care
Or am I the only one
Am I just stuck back in some kind of a past
Maybe itıs harmless
But it feels like a virus
It sounds like itıs catchinı on fast
Cobwebs Cobwebs Cobwebs

All the world is a simile, and we are like merely players.
