Re: OT: Californian and Teen Speak

Here's a link to an NPR interview with Penelope Eckert, professor of
Linguistics at Stanford who has been studying the speech of teenagers around 
the Bay Area of northern California. She gives better
explanations of what I'm talking about than I do :)

They'll have a big parade for every day that you stay clean
But when the trumpets fade, you'll go under like a submarine
And you won't see it coming, no you won't see it coming

You could have it made up there in San Rafael
But baby I'm afraid i'll never see you well 
because i've seen the tally 
you're just going through the motions, baby
