bedevilled and wary of the new english grammar now prevalent in society

The word like appears to have become a substitute for more or less anything in a sentence.

"Oh yeah, and like, the other day it was like, soooo random, like, he came up to me and said, "Do you want a drink, love?" And I'm like, duhhh, like, it would be so, like, majorly stupid of me not to say yes! Anyway. He was like, "I'll get you that, then." So like, I took a seat, and like, who should come along but (insert C-list celebrity name of your choice here)! And I was like, blown away, do you know what I mean? Totally top stuff. It was like having ten Christmasses at once!"
