you find that the media caries language to everywhere, I have never really lived in California but I do use word similar to "like" "dude" "dawg" ect... in my speech I use these word alot, it's fun to use words that aren't nessarily the proper or exactly what high society would use, it's like letting you hair down and taking off your shoes.
Media had a great influance on how we talk what we buy and how we present our selves, we do things baced on what we see and hear on TV and movies, it effects us in every possible way.
It's funny how things work, where I work my superviser says "dude" in almost every sentence and now I am using "dude" more and more.
Hollywood has a big influance on what we say, because that is where most of the movies are made and where most of the trends are started, either in style or dialect.

Yeah, it's interesting how that hollywood vocabulary just creeps into everyone else. When I was a missionary, all the other missionaries would say, 'fetch' and I decided that I didn't want to say it, but I was around it so much that about 12 months into it I was saying 'fetch' too. So I guess it's not too surprising that the way they speak in movies and co-workers and everyone speaks can rub off on the rest of us.
