the like
b. Something of the same kind as that previously mentioned or implied. Usually with determiner: in early use esp. other; in modern English only in the like (most commonly and the like at sense 2d). Formerly also with to (cf. like adj. 1a).Formerly, esp. in early modern English (see, e.g., quots. 1626, 1717), approaching a pronoun in use; cf. same pron., and see also sense 2e. Now frequently in negative, interrogative, or conditional contexts, often distinguished from sense 3a only by the absence of a possessive; cf., e.g., quot. 1978 and quot. 1958 at sense 3a(a); both constructions are common in Irish English.
