I don't know whether it's a San Francisco Bay Area speech habit, but "no worries" is rapidly displacing "no problem" in the local lexicon. More Strine, no doubt.
As for "like," "you know," and their ilk, I've been known to treat them as
actual content. This startles the speaker to no end.

In fact, many seem not to be aware of these phrases in their own speech until said phrases are responded to.
Example (this one is made up, but is taken from life):
Speaker: "You, uh, you know, about, like..."
Me: Yes! (
note: it's important that this be said in an enthusiastic, participatory tone of voice.)
Speaker: [?] "I mean, like, you know..."
Me: I do; quite a bit. (
note: again enthusiastic. Match, if possible, the mood of the speaker so that you are participating
with and not
against him/her.)
Speaker: [?] What?
And there we have the beginning of an actual discussion about ...
language. Imagine that!
This has happened to me two or three times at the large dog park near here, my best source of interaction with people not previously known to me. No doubt I sound strange to them when we start, but by the "What?" point of the interchange, they're definitely paying attention to what they are saying, since *I* clearly am.
