upspeak, like, so, well, fry, you know? the whole lot sound like a bunch of idiots... upspeak, like, so, well, fry, you know? the whole lot sound like a bunch of idiots...I’ve heard the millenials use the words like, well, you know, but what is fry? That’s a new one unless it is an outburst from their subconscious mind in response to the oft said, “Do you want fries with that?”
That vocal fry. That is like a nuclear bomb. One weekend not long ago on KFI they were giving Meghan McCain a chance at a show. Her vocal fry was absolutely station changing. It was painful. Ending every phrase with that scrapy slide, which seems to mean the speaker could not care less, and could peel paint from a car. The ststion must have felt the same because she has not been back. I had no idea what her subject matter was; listening was too painful.
