Is “like” used that way? I didn’t know that. If so, what area are you from? I’m into linguistics and am genuinely curious.

I agree w/ the location guess, but I’d personally estimate a slightly lower age, around 35. Which is pretty much the same

Millennial for sure. Using ‘like’ that way was a v 90’s thing.
