Subjunctive mood used in sentences written by
social media's philosophers.
Would sound pretty
archaic if used by Mr(s). anybody.
Modern English speakers would rather use "let object be like".
Example:
Some
twitter user : "b*tches be like : insert image or
catchy meme"
alternative version :
Another twitter user : "let
the bitches be like : insert image or catchy meme"

Like like is more then liking as a friend, yet different then
a crush. Its
a step above a crush, and a step below love.
Example:
"Dude,
Jenna so like likes Tom!"
"I do not like like David, I just like him."
"So... do you like
like me, or just like me?"
Liking to be Liked

Essentially, "liking" something on facebook that you don't actually have sincere interest in.
Some do it to fit in by liking what popular people liked.
Some do it to
reinforce in everyone's minds that the he/she is, indeed, friends with the poster of the status.*
Some do it to make sure everyone knows that he/she was a part of the
inside joke in the status.*
Some do it to create the illusion that he/she was a part of the inside joke in the status.*
*You can
interchange 'status' and 'picture'.
Example:
Examples of Liking to be Liked:
One, Two, and Three alllll liked
Four's status, so I did too.
Five's status was nothing special, but I liked it because I wanted to make sure everyone knows I know her and I'm tight with her.
Six made her status about all the drinks we had, but she didn't name names, so I made sure everyone knows I was the one she had drinks with (in case anyone is
unsure I drink) by liking it.
One of
Seven's statuses was about her and Eight drinking, and even though I wasn't there, I had to make sure everyone knows I do like to drink (in case anyone doesn't know I'm hardcore) so I liked it.

A Facebook status update frequently seen when someone is
extremely bored, and involves them replying to any likes on
the post by typing a positive comment on
that person's wall. It can become quite forced when the person who likes the post isn't well liked or well known by the poster of the status update. It also helps boost the ego of people who like the post as they are always complimented.
Example:
Alvin: Like for a like
Jason likes the post.
Alvin posts on
Jason's wall: I've
known you for ages and we've been on the same soccer team together.
