Another irritating thing, starting off saying so.  EX. I saw you at the park. Where were you headed after ?  So I was like going shopping. What did you buy ? So I bought a bag of rocks. Why did you buy a bag of rocks ? So like I could look smarter.

I hate followers.  Don't be a follower.[/quote]

What does this even mean?[/quote]

It means they find it annoying when people start a sentence with so.

Person #1: Where did you go after work?
Person #2 : So I went to the store, and like bought a bag of rocks. So then I went to the bakery. So, what are you doing next?[/quote]

That's not really it.  Up talk is ending nearly every sentence with the same inflection as if it were a question, when it's not.  If I said, "you know what I mean?"  That would be appropriate to end with a bit of an up note, as it is a question.  But really annoying people end any sentence, or all sentences with the same questioning inflection, when there is no question.  It sounds like they are questioning themselves.  Listen to Kato Kaelin, OJ Simpson's housemate talking.  He can't talk at all without doing it and it makes him sound like such an idiot.

Vocal fry is totally different, but just as annoying.  It's a kind of "frying," if you will, of usually the last word. But it could could be the first or any other word in a sentence. Like the boss in, Office Space."  Yeahhhhhh, if you could just go ahead and come ...Sunday also, that would be Greaaaattt.  Porn stars do it too because someone told them it's supposed to sound sexy.  The lead girl character on "Mr. Robot" does it also.  His sister, I forget the name.[/quote]
