There was a race car driver Janet Guthrie who spoke with an upaccent at the end of her sentences. Always wondered if it was a regional thing, a speech impediment or what.
People who use "like" and "you know", like, constantly, as in, "So I'm going, like, you know, downtown, and I'm like, talking to dis dude, and he's talking, like, you know, talking like, an idiot, and I'm like thinking you know, like, where's dis dude, like, you know, like where's he from that he, like, talks like that".
It just might be a regional thing. Wisconsin?
