If you've traveled around the US over the last 5-10 yrs, you've probably noticed this plague. .

And it's rapidly creeping into or already taken over into most major Southern cities, too, among anyone under 35.

Be thankful if you're married or dating a rural gal who sounds like Laney Wilson. As annoying as that can be, it's far better than this shite...

I think the word you were thinking of was proliferation.

The newer one among young white women and middle aged white women with Peter Pan Syndrome is to speak in a high-pitch voice. It's not necessarily mousy, but it sounds more like they're taking puffs of helium in between every sentence. Sort of like the playback speed was increased to 150.

California accent? No such thing. Let's talk about you southern inbred derelicts.

When it comes to "up talk" the Aussies have that market cornered. Holy shite are they annoying with it.

Well, a proliferation of something creates a preponderance of the something, so….

Hardly new. Valley Girl/Uptalk was creeping into LSU in the late '80s.

It's interesting as a rare pop culture phenomenon that didn/t originate w/blacks

Actually I haven’t. If a person talked like that anywhere I’ve ever been they wouldn’t be taken seriously.
