Uptalk

I don't know why they do it... Perhaps to sound agreeable or submissive... It makes them sound unsure of themselves...

I hear it a lot more often than I used to. I think it has spread beyond millennial women. I hear even long-time newscasters use uptalk. It makes them sound like ninnies.

I find it as annoying as people who say "like" about every other word - at least that's how it seems. "I'm like, I didn't do like, anything. And he's like, I know you did like, something really bad. I left like, five minutes ago. It's like, twenty miles away." Ugh.

It's part of their Uptalk Minute Plan TM

Uppity, for short.

"I was at KFC? And they didn't have orange soda?"

It's because they're idiots??

Sometimes, yes, I notice it (?).

But never having heard the word uptalk before, I thought it must mean making what you say somehow more important than what it is?

Don't mind me; I promise I'm just having light-hearted fun. And eating Trader Joe's tomato & basil hummus dip with whole-grain crackers. For no particular reason, except I skipped dinner tonight.
