Oh, language...

Today at work, I had to inquire about the meaning of a phrase I hear people on my team using often: “like talkin’ bout.”

They told me that it refers to the abundance or frequency of something, which I find very interesting (and confusing).  Here’s an example of how it’s used:

“Sydney, do you ever drink diet coke anymore?”
“I drink one every now and then, but not like talkin’ bout.”

Anyway, I doubt I’ll ever use this, mainly because it doesn’t make any sense.  I just wanted to report it to all of you in case you work with college kids and need to decode their language!!  (Wow, that was a very old lady-sounding sentence)!

Here’s the urban dictionary link. The synonyms don’t seem to coincide with the definition, but the example sentence is hilarious.
