Be like is informal speech for "say" or "think," used to introduce quoted speech or internal reactions: She was like, "I can't believe you did that".
The construction dominates casual storytelling, especially among younger speakers, where it conveys not just words but attitude, facial expressions, or emotional responses: And I'm like, are you serious right now?
