Crutch words

I never knew what term to use for words used ad nauseum by teenagers and some post-teenagers these days. Yes, I am referring to the word 'like'. Listen to any teenage conversation and it goes "I'm like, I don't want to go for this movie", "I'm like, noooo, please don't call me for this".
Now, I've finally found out what such words are called; they are Crutch words!! Not Crotch words, Crutch words.     
Spoken by those with a reported speech deficiency, these words are used like a filler ad and are equally annoying!
