Definition
A casual speech pattern that drives grammar purists absolutely insane—using 'be like' instead of proper conjugation to introduce quoted thoughts or dialogue. Linguistically incorrect but linguistically unstoppable among younger speakers.
Example Usage
And I'm be like, 'That makes no grammatical sense,' but everyone uses it anyway.
