More young men in California rise in pitch at the end of their sentences when talking, new research shows. This process is known as "uptalk" or "valleygirl speak" and has in the past been associated with young females, typically from California or Australia. But now a team says that this way of speaking is becoming more frequent among men.

It’s annoying? You know?
Like, that’s really, like, bad, like, you know?
Men should never call other men “oppa”

More like frustration.

Feminists will have it all their way one day soon.
I know right. So the psycholinguistics of this is under review. *Fabulous*
I do it sometimes for effect. If I ever start doing it all the time, shoot me.
Cool it is.
A lot of those “semi-men” (girly boys - Arnold speak) got to talk the talk before they do the walk.
You mean like how it sounds like they are always asking a question.
Dialects are funny. How and why they stick or don’t.
If black people move here from the south, they keep the accent for generations. I love the southern drawl. But white people come here, and a year or two later, their kids have already lost it. Maybe because media keeps using the southern accents to mean dumb. But only on whites. Either Southern education is unfair and only educates the blacks, or the media is raciss. Wonder which? Some of the smartest and most educated white people I’ve ever met were from the south.
And here at the beach there are still surfers speaking that Spicoli surfer accent, dude.
I’m not personally hearing males around here speaking like valley girls? But if I did, I’d tell you?
That’s a new one to me. I think my wife would be happy if I just kept the nose hairs under control.
