Osea is the present tense or the "tú" imperative of the extremely unusual verb "osear", which means to scare domestic birds away. You probably want to use how to write the phrase "o sea".

Answer 3

Actually folks, doeppeman is referring to a Mexican slang, that has become extremely popular. It's used as the equivalent cliché use of the word "like", mostly by females. My friends and I usually refer to these types of girls as "fresas". Fresa (is Spanish for strawberry) but is a slang term often used in America/Mexico as well for a cultural stereotype of superficiality to youngsters of whom many come from a high class and educated family, a.k.a. "preppy".

Like, whatever, dude, I think you're all, like, talking about, like, "valley girls" or something. (Apparently a reference to some place in California where this type of speech became popularized.) - webdunce, Feb 10, 2011

Unfortunately, I have noticed that I use like more than I used to. I'm especially surprised to notice that I use "all like" a lot, too. - webdunce, Feb 10, 2011

Jaja! ¿verdad? Es unfortunantly catchy. But you nailed it, valley girls would definently be an American comparison. - DJ_Huero, Feb 10, 2011

Yes, it could also mean "I mean...". - Dakie, Feb 10, 2011

I thought ´like´ was a coinage for ´o sea´ that has been used for a long time as a filler in Spanish language. Loig before those girls were born. As I said, it´s 2 words, not osea. - mediterrunio, Feb 10, 2011

Answer 4

I have heard this and I'm sure it is "o sea" in this case, and is used as a "muletilla" or just as english speakers use "like" as a vice of diction.
