i guess my question for you is: why does "like" sound less intelligent to you? and does it change your opinion to know that it only became heavily criticized as a feature when it became associated with young women?

Like I said, it just comes across as someone who doesn’t have a good vocabulary to form/develop sentences, and in a conversation that gets annoying (and boring) really fast. I can’t speak about it being criticized when associated with young women bc I never made that connection up until now and I’ve always disliked that lingo regardless of who’s speaking (we have the equivalent in Portuguese, which I can’t stand as well), but I see your point. However I think the issue is not with the language itself but with the inability to explore more ways of talking according to context. Would you talk like that during a work presentation? A funeral? I know his situation there is neither but I do find it worrying that so many people on public platforms genuinely don’t seem to give a fuck about the way they communicate, especially when they have a young audience. There’s a big difference between cultural signals/idioms vs. privileged folks who simply don’t care about communicating well bc they’re not actively missing chances over their poor communication, and I’m afraid that if we ignore that, we’re just further enabling a society that’s already quite backwards in terms of comprehension skills.
