Goes vs SaysI haven't found any reference to this one yet (though there is such a volume of posts I may have missed it):
So he goes, "No way" and so I go, "But you have to" and he goes, "But I did it last time" etc.
How can a verb of motion equate to the verb "to say" or its synonyms? I accept that for a long time it's been common practice to say things like "cows go moo" but this is a new and rather annoying way of referring to human speech. If I'm subjected to a lecture consisting of "he goes" and "she goes" I soon decide it's time for me to go too.

And he's like 'Whoa!' and I'm like 'I know!'(
