Is there a word (or a few words) that accurately describes someone with the "like disease" (or the many other unnecessary words or small phrases spread throughout most sentences, such as "um") in "proper" English?
I often find having a conversation which such a person very distracting, even annoying, and it makes it difficult to concentrate on the intent of their conversation when I constantly here like x, like y, like z, ... if such a "word" describes this too, even better.
The comments under the question about like being a deliberately stylistic form of speech aside, if somebody is constantly struggling for words, where things like um, uh, or ah (essentially, meaningless filler sounds) are frequently repeated as they try to think of how to express themselves next, that person would be said to be tongue-tied:
[Merriam-Webster]
1 : unable or disinclined to speak freely (as from shyness)
However, if they don't seem to be struggling for what to say next, but are simply using such sounds as actual parts of their speech, they could simply be said to be ineloquent:
[Merriam-Webster]
: not eloquent : having or showing a lack of eloquence
// George W. Bush, often so ineloquent in public, worked hard as governor of Texas and afterward to master legislative arguments and complications.
