Like I don't like, Like

connect

In Ireland, particularly in Wexford where I live, we say 'like' a lot, an awful lot. 'You know, Like', 'I don't think so, Like', 'I don't like it. Like', you get the gist, Like. In fact, Joseph O'Connor, a famous Irish writer (and brother to singer Sinead) wrote a really good radio diary called 'Like, Like' that captures this linguistic quirk. 

On social media, we like even more. I too have double tapped more than I care to count but I've learnt my lesson. I once speed-liked a beautiful photo taken by a casual acquaintance. It was a lovely shot of the water/harbour at night taken from the bridge. His picture was far nicer than my shot here taken from the bridge near Kilkenny Castle the morning after a late night on the town. I liked his pic, double tap. A few days later, a mutual friend mentioned his pic with quite a serious tone. If I had bothered to read his comment around the pic, I might have seen that this pic was a call for help because he had mentioned jumping. I missed that, just going for the superficial visual layer, not seeing the depth below. One must be careful what one likes, Like.
