[extropy-chat] like definition

[Ian Goddard]

Besides denoting a similarity relation "like" seems to
also serve to say "It is (or was) the case that..."
For example:


(1) "Like, there's this guy who like lives down the
street."

(2) "Well, like, here we are."

(3) "Like, there I was and I didn't know where to go."

(4) "Like, here I am and I don't know where to go."


In those cases "like" seems to say "It is(was) the
case that." One could even substitute the latter for
the former. Like, there may be all kinds of "likes."
