Two words that are too, like, commonly used?? Like a word that you keep hearing that, like, means NOTHING???

LIKE! And a tie between "awesome" and "soc". I haven't heard anyone my age use the word "like" in a meaningless way in a sentence, just younger people: "It was, like, you know just so hot, that we,like, just cranked up the a/c and, like, stayed inside all day."

And everything is "awesome". "Soc" can be either short for social security number (That IS a mouthful) or "social" as in your social life or your social media activity..."And what's your soc?" In what context? And it's pronounced "sosh" rhyming with "soap", with the "-sh" sound.

Sidenote, "narc" to me has always been short for narcotics or an undercover narcotics cop; I don't know when it started being used as short for narcissistic but it bothers me.

This is technically a phrase and not just separate words, Beth, but I also hate "you know". NO, I don't know unless you tell me. "It was just too much trouble, you know?" No, I don't. Explain.
