I thought the words "like" and "hang out" were references to facebook's "like" and google's "hang out". What do the native speakers think? -- 213.252.171.254 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Not in this case- here they're just being used as the everyday terms that facebook and google co-opted. -- 140.247.0.10 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Native speaker here: there doesn't seem to be anything distinctive about the use of 'like' and 'hang out' in this comic to indicate they might be references. -- 170.194.32.42 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I agree. -- 122.60.40.91 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The words aren't out of place otherwise, so it just might be a (big) coincidence. I still find it likely to be true. 207.237.164.241 11:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
