1. (v) to mildly enjoy. Used by all ages.
1a. (v) To have mildly strong to strong romantic feelings for another. May imply a lack of confidence in one's self or ability to commit. Used mainly from ages 11-17.
2. (comparison) Expressing little to moderate similarity between two or more objects, people, ideas, etc. used in similes, along with synonym, as. Used by all ages.
3. (interjection) Meaningless verbal filler. Synonymous with um and uh. Usually said unintentionally, while trying to finish a statement or question after starting. Should not be used when public speaking. Used mainly by ages 11-14. Stereotypically used by tween girls.

be like

Subjunctive mood used in sentences written by social media's philosophers.
Would sound pretty archaic if used by Mr(s). anybody.

Modern English speakers would rather use "let object be like".

Some twitter user : "b*tches be like : insert image or catchy meme"

alternative version :

Another twitter user : "let the bitches be like : insert image or catchy meme"

A word that can be added to a sentence when you're demonstrating it at that present moment. Related, but not to be confused to and such.
