“Pop 101” was first release since their third studio album, Ever After, and is meant to serve as satire: a tongue-in-cheek summary against today’s pop music trends, lampooning the Top 40 you’ll hear on homogenized radio stations around the country. It also scrutinizes the music industry and its formulaic way of writing songs for a popular audience. While mostly focusing on clichés in pop music, “Pop 101” also shows influences from pop rock, hip hop, EDM, and folk music.
The band had previously satirized popular culture and rock-star status on 2010’s “Celebrity Status,” off Masterpiece Theatre:
Trading in who I’ve been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over
On the band’s Youtube Channel, vocalist Josh Ramsay can be found a jacuzzi, telling the viewers that this song was a guide on how to write a pop song, because so many people “kept asking.”

If you can’t stop saying the word “like,” you’re not alone. Unfortunately, overusing that word can cause your friends and coworkers to make unfair assumptions about your education or intelligence levels. Thankfully, there are some solid ways you can stop saying the word “like” to sound smarter and keep your audience engaged for longer. Read through these tricks to change the way you speak for the better.
-
Pair the word with an action so you can catch it faster. If you’re talking and you say “like,” quickly tap yourself on the thigh or pinch yourself on the wrist. The more you notice it, the more you can break the habit.[1]
- Keep the movement small so that it doesn’t distract you from what you’re saying.
- You can also pull on a hair tie around your wrist or flick yourself in the leg.

-
Try to count the number of times you say “like” in 1 minute. Then, record yourself again, and try super hard not to say the word “like” at all. Try doing this a couple of times per day until you get into the habit of checking yourself on your own.[2]
- You can also download an app like LikeSo to automatically count the number of times you say “like” for you.
-
Think about what you say before you say it. If you’re talking quickly or you’re in a fast-paced conversation, you might be thinking about what to say next instead of what’s coming out of your mouth. Try to really slow down and contemplate every sentence before you say it to avoid saying “like.”[3]
- If you hear yourself say the word “like,” that’s okay! Just make a note of it and try not to say it again in the same conversation.
Advertisement
-
Do this instead of saying “like” in between phrases. When you say a sentence and you come to a moment when you’d normally say “like,” just stop. Take a deep breath and let the silence fill the space in your sentence.[4]
- This can also help you avoid other filler words like “um” or “ah.”
-
You can use “roughly,” “approximately,” and “around.” These words are helpful in sentences where you’re trying to convey an approximate amount, like money spent or time wasted. Make your sentences sound more specific by saying things:[5]
- “We spent around $500 at the mall today.”
- “I wasted roughly 30 minutes driving back and forth.”
- “We’ve used approximately 60% of our inventory.”
Advertisement
-
You could also use “yelled,” “whispered,” or “shouted.” Saying “like” before a quote is a super common way this word gets misused, and it’s probably where you’ll hear yourself using it the most. Instead, try getting super specific with your descriptor.[6]
- Instead of saying, “I was like, ‘no way!’” say, “I thought to myself, ‘no way!’”
- Instead of saying, “He was like, ‘I’m not interested.’” say, “He said, ‘I’m not interested.’”
-
You don’t need the word “like” to emphasize your point. By omitting the word “like,” you can actually strengthen your sentences and speech. Stick to words like “very” or “incredibly” to make your sentence stronger.[7]
- For example, instead of saying, “He was, like, so angry,” say, “He was very angry.”
- Instead of saying, «The sky was, like, so blue,» say, «The sky was a deep blue color.»
Advertisement
-
The more words you know, the easier time you’ll have. Try reading new books, playing word games like Scrabble, or keeping a thesaurus handy to look up synonyms. If you can think of something else to say besides “like,” you’re already halfway there! You could try phrases such as “for example,” “nearly,” or “about.”[8]
- You can also download apps like Word of the Day to get new words sent directly to you.
-
Use it when you’re expressing enjoyment or comparing 2 things. You could say “I really like chocolate” or “He acts like his father.” If you keep the definition in mind, you can tell when you’re using “like” the right way and when you’re using it as a filler word.[9]
Advertisement
-
“Um,” “ah,” and “er” can also get repetitive. As you cut down on your use of the word “like,” be careful you’re not replacing it with something else! When in doubt, just don’t say anything.[10]
- You might also find yourself saying “you know,” “well,” and “okay.”

Question
My friend is almost addicted to saying «like.» He will say it in every sentence. How can I tell him and help him without sounding rude?
This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
wikiHow Staff Editor
Staff Answer
You could pretend that you’re working on cutting down the number of times you say «like» yourself. Have him record you and count how many times you say it in 1 minute. Then, ask him if he wants to try, and record him next. You can gently point out how many times he’s saying it without being mean or talking down to him.
-
Question
What other words can I use for like? I have to many «likes» in my paragraph.
You can use «similar to» in the sense of «The noodles were like rubber.» When using the word «like» to express approval, as in «I like pie,» you can say «I enjoy pie» or «I love pie» or «Pie is awesome.» If you’re using the word «like» as a filler word, the way this article is talking about, just remove it entirely.
-
Question
What form of speech is «like» considered?
As a term of enjoyment, like is used as a verb, or an action word. When saying it as a term of similarity of comparison, it is a preposition.
