The Use Of The Word "Like Seriously" by chocolateme(f): 10:15pm On Nov 11, 2015
The above word is an English word but I don't understand how it is meaningful if combined together yet a lot of males and females use it on daily basis.
Is that a correct expression people because I don't think so while someone is here arguing it with me that it's correct.

Huh? Like Seriously? cheesy

On a lighter note,

I came across this explanation:

"This is a very modern colloquial form of English, that whilst understandable, is very informal, and which might be out of place, for instance, in an interview or at a formal occasion.

Additionally other than in verbatim transcription, this isn't something I'd write or really expect to see written, except perhaps in a magazine opinion column, internet forum, instant messenger/text message or other extremely informal piece of writing.

That said, it is commonly spoken by many English speakers, and would be widely understood as expressing surprise and/or incredulity at a statement; the modern form of "Are you being serious?"
