Definder - what does the word mean?

What is I was like?

In Australia, people say this in imitation of redneck politician Pauline Hanson. Say it in a disapproving, nasal voice whenever somebody disses something they know nothing about.

"Ms Hanson, what do you think about Stephen Hawking's new theories about the properties of light?"
"I dont like it!"

What does "I was like" mean?

When a guy is texting or talking on the phone with his girl, and he askes her to go somewhere and 'hang out' with him (he's actually asking her on a date) and she says "I would like that" then you guys go out, and she stares at your lips. Well boy, its your chance to kiss your lucky ladie!

(Texting)

Tommy: hey babe, wanna go to the movies and hangout?
Jenny: I would like that..(:

Tommy: alright see you there.

(at the movies)

Tommy: hey Jenny!
Jenny: hey! *Jenny stares at Tommy's lips*

Tommy: *kisses Jenny*

Another way to say "Just because" or a way to say that what you are talking about is how you act or something.

I was like - meaning

Obnoxious people use this phrase after they have recited an anecdote about their petty tribulations.

This is to compensate for their complete absence of wit or original insight into anything.

Teenage girl drops her lipstick.

Girl: Omigod becki, this morning i was like, putting my lipstick on, and then i dropped it and there was lipstick like alllllll over the floor and i was like AHH!!!!
Boy: uhhh... how exactly can you be "like ahh"?
Girl: I apologise for my poor use of English. I tend to use "like" as an all-purpose word. Yes, I was slightly disgrunted at the time, but I wasn't physically comparable to a sound, nor did I actually raise my hands in the air and shout "AHH!"
Boy: I think makeup and clothes stores contain brain-destroying chemicals.
Girl: Help me.
