The "Like" epidemic

I saw a commercial for something (who remembers what?) several years ago, and featured a very bored brunette trying to distract herself while her blonde friend related the following conversation:

"He was all like 'No Way', and I was like 'Way'; so he was like 'NO WAY!', and I was like 'WAAAY!', so he was like 'NO WAY!', and I was like..."

My personal peeve: 'Impact' is not a verb. The plane did not 'impact' the ground. Global warming does not 'impact' life on Earth. It may have an impact, but it 'affects' life on Earth.
