Like

1. A Facebook "like" with added emphasis. Commonly known in response to a recognized prompt.

2. Similar to an Aaayy-mmmeeen!!, a common "shout" (see below) performed. Literally meaning 'truely' or 'it is so'. Very strong agreement.

3. shout : A 'shout' is both an individual thing and a thing of the gathered worshippers. While worshipping at a service or event, the worshipper starts to experience the presence of God, and it builds up inside until it can't be restrained and bursts forth in loud noises (whoops, stutters, short praise phrases and such, with raised arms and shaking hands) in praise to God. The noises are often followed by dancing, running, singing, or even fainting. There is no calm or quiet shout. In many African-American and Pentecostalist churches, it is an accepted and even cherished act of worship at certain times during the event or service. It becomes extra-special when people all over the sanctuary/auditorium/tent break out in shouts, losing themselves fully into praise. When that happens, it's full of both fun and joy.

ex.: "Can I get a like?"

"If you heard that, throw me a like!"

"Common y'all, give me a like!"

Not like that

something you say after you describe something and the description is not quit right but you can't think of any other way to describe it.

A term used as an answer to something your not too bothered about either way.

I like the new bloke at work, but not like that; he is nice but I do not fancy him.

I am tired, but not like that; could sleep but can also go without.

yeh, we stuffed ourselves stupid, but not like that; we ate till we were fat, but we are not fat.

I fell and it really hurt, but not like that; you hurt yourself but it was nothing serious.

1) Do you like pop music?
2) Not like that, don't mind some stuff.

1) We are going swimming, do you like swimming?

2) Not like that, I just like chilling out by the water, not fussed.
