Kids these days use similes in situations in which they shouldn't. Now in movies the stereotypical blonde may end up using the word like more than they should. Everyone in the crowd knows what kind of character they are just from that. However, it seems these days that many kids are using the word "like" willy-nilly. I am being a hypocrite when I say this because I sometimes forget and get excited and use like more than I should, but I am conscious of it otherwise and try to avoid it. You are suppose to use a simile to describe a situation in which one may not be familiar with and compare to one in which the listener is used to. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE IT TO DESCRIBE IT AS EXACTLY IT IS.
Had to get that rant out.
