I have to admit the saying is kind of insane. Slang is somthing that evolves over time. People were comparing things to one thing and saying like, so then people started just using it to describe what had happened. To be exact, ... well you really can't be. It is just somthing that devolps over time. One person said it occasionally, and then frequently, and then others followed and did it occasionally, and then frequently, and so on and so on until it is just a normal part of speech.
The use of "was like" to mean "said" began in the early 1980s. It originated in the United States and became popular among younger generations as a way to convey dialogue informally or to add emphasis when recounting a conversation.
"Stated" or "uttered" can be used as alternatives to "said."
Two meanings for "dicho": (1) "have said" (I have said = he dicho) (2) "a saying" or "an adage" (there is a saying or there is an adage = hay un dicho).
The past tense of say is said.
Yes when writing stories or other writing pieces you would say: Joey said, "this source is reliable" The comma would be after said and it is the same for he said: He said, " You just learned something new" Hope this helped Source: Like 1st or 2nd grade
To use dialogue in past tense, simply write the spoken words in the past tense, just as they would have been spoken at that time. For example, instead of saying "She said, 'I feel happy,'" you would write "She said she felt happy." This keeps the actions and events in the past tense.
it wasnt actually invented just like that but at some point in the late middle ages people quit saying & writing segde for some reason & started saying & writing said instead
Listen to WHAT is being said instead of WHO is saying it!

The girl's smile is the sun.Summer vacation is ice cream and T.V. time!The main idea of a metaphor is that is stronger. Instead of saying The girl's smile is like thesun. I said it IS the sun.

Selichot are special prayers said during the days before Rosh Hashana. Selichot are prayers about forgiveness. These prayers are said early morning before Shacharit; the daily morning prayers. Sefardim start saying Selichot a month before Rosh Hashana; the entire month of Elul. Ashkenazim begin saying Selichot on the Sunday before Rosh Hashana; unless Rosh Hashana is on Monday or Tuesday, in which case they start saying Selichot on the Sunday 10 days before Rosh Hashana. Selichot are said until Yom Kippour. Selichot are not said on Shabbat.
