It is not a question of whether one likes or doesn't like; this expression is attempting to say something about one's level of certainty about liking something. That is to say, one might not be positive if they *know* if they like something or not, therefore they *think* (suspect, but not have definitive evidence) of their stance. > Anyway: g is from Perl.
