    Good and bad are the singular most annoying words in the English language, using them should be a crime. We use an amazingly rich and complex language, and people stick to the safe carmel centre when the nougat and hazelnut around that is far superior, and the chocolate outside the very best.
    I think one should choose a word or phrase that describes how they really feel about a band. I mean it's all very easy to call brokeNCYDE (my pet 'bad band' I think) simply 'bad', but why not take it up a notch, call them a symptom of the myspace generation, a product of inanity and the F5 key, coupled with a total lack of education moral, poetic or musical. I think it's hard to contest these points, even if you do enjoy the band.
    Well, everyone, prepare to have your guts kicked out by folk singers...

    Trapped inside a lexicological candy bar... that is the best metaphor ever.

    I think it held up quite well, and although I wish I had made it a more exotic chocolate bar.

    it's basically the equivalent of "uhh", "umm", "erm", etc.

    edit: that said, I'm totally guilty of using it frequently

    I enjoy using it in conversation, it makes me feel giggly and inane, I don't like being a total pretentious English student all the time. My last essay came with a note saying I had an 'idiosyncratic' way of citing texts though, because I always tart them up. I think it was when I said critics 'danced merrily around' some point or another that annoyed my tutor.

    I must admit that I, like, sometimes do that.

    I mean it's, like, if you were to stop talking, the pause would be, like, awkward, but you don't want to just, like, murmur and stuff like that.
