uptalk: a manner of speaking in which sentences are uttered with rising intonation at the end, as if they were questions.
A quick example of uptalk |
|
I had a boss that uptalked. I hated him for a myriad of reasons, his manner of speech was the cherry on the hate sundae.
|
|
|
Hell no.
I hate it, a female coworker with a queens accent does it after every sentence...I had no idea the queens accent could be made more painful |
|
|
|
No, Hell no! A woman that was assigned my account with one of my vendors does that and every other trendy vocalization. I avoid talking to her at all costs but somehow she even communicates that way via email, maybe I just read it in her annoying voice.

I've noticed this type of speech is relatively common amongst Canadians.
|
|
|
Nope. If I heard someone talk to me like that I would keep asking them "are asking me a question or are you retarded?"
|
|
No and it's very annoying when people do. It seems to be the young folks that generally have this habit.
|
|
|
No, it's annoying. Causes men to sound like fags and women to sound like idiots. The people that do this repeat the habit in every. single. sentence. And no clue.
|
|
|
Nope, nor do I begin every reply with "So", nor have I ever uttered the phrase "I know, right?", because that shit is douchery of the highest degree.
|
|
Relative of mine did a paper on how people uptalked on Jeopardy....
And yeah, once you know what it is, it's super fucking annoying. |
|
Brandon Webb, SEAL. From sofrep. He is the uptalk fucking king.
Whats more fucking annoying is the way johnny depp and lisa marie presleys husband dress up. Those guys need a beatdown. |
|
Oh, good god, no.
I hate that shit, it drives me crazy and makes me want to punch things (and people). |
|
Another speech pattern that bugs me is word dragging where the speaker hangs onto a word, and drags out it's pronunciation as if for emphasis. As in "it's a loooooong time".

Jesse James and Paul Jr. do that, you know, like everything's a question? You know?

No, but almost every young female I hear speaking on the radio does it, and it drives me nuts.

My wife's sister uptalks to a whole new level. My wife is picking it up slowly. I've been on her ass about it too. It's highly annoying and sounds uneducated. And she is a very educated and smart woman. I hate it and can't stop it !
