is it some sort of brain deficiency? can they simply not form a complete thought and then turn it into a sentence?

i just notice this with my sister and her friends, sometimes you don't pay attention to it but i actually listened one day and some of them use this conjunction up to 5 times per sentence.

is there an actual scientific explanation?

I used to say oh snaps a lot. Now a days however, I tend to end my sentences with "yo momma". I don't know why either, it just comes out naturally.

90's popular culture has left some things deeply ingrained in peoples heads. Its not going to go away for a long time, if at all. Blame movies like clueless.

I think it is just when people speak before they think (mostly when you are in a rush to say it or something)... I say "like" or "erm" a lot...

It is a substitute for forming actual sentences and using a proper vocabulary. It makes talking "easier."

Just ignore it. That's what I do and I get by fine.

I think its just if you say somthing enough, you begin to say it without thinking.
Such as, i tend to go "lawl" in real life now, cause i started saying it. (though i pronounce it more "lul":P)

So, I'm sure there's a scientific explanation, but to sum it up, your brain just soaks stuff up.

because they LIKE it.(Bad joke) but seriously I think it gives them a split second to think of what they are about to say next, though I'm sure they don't.
