now the funny thing to me (since i was living in central Florida when this was released, i remember it) is that we didn't know anything about San Fernando valley girls... all i knew (until this moment) was Moon Unit's interpretation.


The teen girls and mall rats on Long Island back then had similarities in speech and definite similarities in physical expression and airheadedness and gum chewing. Then there was the huge hair which was particular to the Island. And On My God has survived into 2013 as OMG

The girls were talking on phones with CHORDS!! !!

/whisks herself off to do a little research on paralinguistics

okay real quick found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(linguistics)

"In linguistics, a filler is a sound or word that is spoken in conversation by one participant to signal to others that he/she has paused to think but is not yet finished speaking.[1] These are not to be confused with placeholder names, such as thingamajig, which refer to objects or people whose names are temporarily forgotten, irrelevant, or unknown. Different languages have different characteristic filler sounds; in English, the most common filler sounds are uh /ʌ/, er /ɜː/ and um /ʌm/. Among youths, the fillers "like", "y'know", "I mean", "so", "actually", "literally", "basically", "right", "I'm tellin' ya" and "you know what I mean?" are among the more prevalent. Ronald Reagan was famous for answering questions starting with "Well...".

The term filler has a separate use in the syntactic description of wh-movement constructions..."


Very well done Opi!! !
Plus you'd be astonished how many filler sounds people make and we nor them notice :D
when I was studing conference interpreting we recorded our voice when talking and all of us made an incredible ammount of filling sounds like humm, heh, aahm and so forth, the work behind eliminating it was a nightmare :D
