I don't think that is exclusive to "street thugs". I have heard many people including celebrities, speaking that way. It runs a close second to "ya follow me?" Obnoxious habit.

True. Lots of rappers talk this way.

Why don't you use "SUCH AS?" in place of "LIKE" once in a while?

Example:

Living in the South causes me to suffer things like hives, dandruff, and falling teeth.

Or use "AS."

Example:

Like I was telling you.
As I was telling you.

Any if those repetitive speaking habits are comparable to Chinese Water Torture. I call it Verbal Torture. I have to tune it out or walk away as that prevents me from poking the offender in the eye.

As a parent I relentlessly hounded my kids, especially my daughter, when they used "like" the wrong way. They don't do it.

People who speak this way often write poorly. Instead of writing "I want a sandwich" they write "I'm thinking I want to get a sandwich."

No one gets paid to use more words.
