| Jul 28, 2016 at 14:11 | comment | added | stangdon | I feel like all, in this sort of slang usage, doesn't really mean "completely" or "excessively". Idiomatically, it just kind of means "said" or "reacted", although maybe there is a connotation that it's a strong reaction or that it characterizes the speaker at the moment. I can't imagine someone using it for a purely factual statement, like "He asked where the post office was, and I was all like 'It's on Third Street.'" | |

| Jul 28, 2016 at 1:36 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | @P.E.Dant It's right there at the top: adverb meaning "completely, excessively". And my goodness it's nice to find somebody else who remembers Dobie Gillis! | |

| Jul 28, 2016 at 1:33 | comment | added | P. E. Dant Reinstate Monica | at the risk of forcing you to do more work: what becomes of all, then? Adverb? Quantifier of "like?" | |
