I don't know why but when somebody makes statements that have upward inflection I try to ejaculate myself from the conversation as quickly as possible. I can't stand it. It sounds as if they are unsure of everything they say.

It's the technical term for "uptalk" - the way kids speak so that every sentence ends with an interrogative tone so that it sounds like a question even when it's a statement? Like that, in fact.

You can't complain about the way people talk and then use the phrase "ejaculate myself from the conversation."

One of our young female engineers directly across the hall from me talks like this all the time and it's super annoying. However, I do not have the urge to ejaculate when she does.

I went to school with a guy who did this, and I don't think it was something he could control. Nobody else in his family spoke like that.

There was a stretch of about 2-3 months when you had your james deen AV that you showed some promise.

Now we're left with this.

Almost as bad as women who sing at you. When your sentences have the pitch and inflections of a song....STFU. I usually answer in my best cookie monster voice.

How am I supposed to think about vocal inflection when you said ejaculate??

Text was italicized to show upward vocal inflection

I posted on the poli board and the avi triggered them in to a RA frenzy. I lost my avi privileges.

Imho
It came to the USA from Ireland in the 1980's.
I heard it used in presentations.

In any case, it's a way to avoid being perceived as forceful and demanding.

I've noticed that the dudes who do it are usually rather feminine so this makes sense.

I would see that as positive reinforcement and keep doing whatever it is that evoked that amazing blue swatch of carpet’s voice
