Is it a Northern thing like?!

I've noticed it a few times now in conversations with people, that they seem to add "like" on to the end of a sentence! Is this a typically Northern thing?! (i could be way off track here, so bear in mind that even Bristol is north of me!!)

 

It's mainly a Geordie thing, like!

 

I see, like!

And i also noticed "Mega" seems to be used a lot within the Yorkshire Vocab, west yorkshire in particular?

 

That speaking style hit the States about 20 years ago and left about 10-15 years ago ;-)

 

mega isnt just yorkshire. Been pioneering a return of the word for a long time now just cos its mega like.

 

Like, what're you talkin' about Man. It's SO, like, totally not the 80s anymore, Dude.

 

Everyone says like!

 

Some blokes I drink with saw me on Sky Sports News the other day, said im a pure Manc, I use a lot of localisms and always say "without a doubt" in a skanky accent...

I hate my voice...

 

My housemate from Basingstoke says "like" a lot, so annoyingly I seem to have picked it up too.

 

I know i say it, but i don't usually say it at the end of the sentence!

 

I can safely say that i have never used 'mega'.

 

it was directed at the Emley lot, but obviously they don't realise they are doing it and therefore haven't picked up on it yet!

 

Of course, man woman man, like!! (pick the bones out of that!)

 

aparently i say 'like' alot. but i haven't noticed. alot of my mates from doncaster say it too.

 

i dont know.. sometimes i do.. anyone who talks to me, do i say like a lot?

 

It started with Ploughboy saying it a lot and its spread, i know i find myself saying it reather a lot now. Still i thinks its better than like...like.

 

i still say mega! I BLAME ALL OF YOU EMELY B*G*ERS!!!!!

 

I say like a lot :tongue: and I'm definately not from the north! well I'm from North Devon but that doesn't count like! I get told to stop saying like aswell :tongue:

 

HA! I do say like but not that often, or if I do I don't notice it.

I would have thought "like" would have been more associated with scousers

 

Hate to be the one to tell you but...
