Besides using the abbreviation to say that something is like something else, people also use it to say they like something but have some reservations about it or to say that something is somewhat accurate, but not entirely. For example, if you sorta like baseball, you may like it because of the home runs they hit, but don't really like how slow and long a game can be.
