Up-talking

What is Up-talking?

1.

When one, particularly a younger person, ends every phrase and sentence as if it were a question. This practice could be derived from the "valley girl" excuse for talking during the nineties, but many people still do it today out of uncontrollable habit.

Teacher: okay. NEXT.
