Is it just me, or is anyone else out there irritated to death by what I call "idiot-speak" that's afflicted an obscene number of females in this country from 5 to 50 years old. The best way I can describe it is a general Valley Girl way of talking but with a partially paralyzed tongue, and with the addition that every sentence has to be ended with the last word drawn out. Example:
"We were waiting for Wendy and she was like, you know, taking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So, like, you know, I had to call herrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. But, like, she just wasn't answering her phonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne. Like, where is sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"
If you all have any idea the manner of speech I'm talking about, does it drive you as nuts as it does me?
