(Joe speaking) 'Do you remember Ravi?'
She (Nora) thought of Ravi, telling her off in the newsagent's only yesterday. 'Oh yeah. Ravi.'
'Well, I bumped into him.'
'In Bedford?'
'Ha! God, no. Haven't been there for years. No. It was at Blackfriars station. Totally random. Like, I haven't seen him in over a decade. At least. He wanted to go to the pub. . . . '
(The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, episode Peppermint Tea)
What does "Like" mean or express in this excerpt? What part of speech is "like" there? Can you describe its meaning with your own words?
