Synonyms
* be all, goUsage notes
The use as a quotative is deliberately informal and commonly used by young people, and often combined with the use of the present tense as a narrative. Similar terms are to go'' and ''all'', as in ''I go, “Why did you do that?” and he goes, “I don't know”'' and ''I was all, “Why did you do that?” and he was all, “I don't know.” These expressions can imply that the attributed remark which follows is representative rather than necessarily an exact quotation; however, in speech these structures do tend to require mimicking the original speaker's inflection in a way (said) would not.Interjection
(en interjection)- divint ye knaa, like ?
