and finally...
The Rising Inflection!

For those of you unfamiliar with this term, a rising inflection is where a person raises the pitch of their voice at the end, or even during a sentence, where it is not appropriate. In other words, people who speak in Questions or ‘Up Talk’.

I deliberately do not acknowledge their questioning inflection. Instead I stare intently at them, with furrowed brow, making them feel they are actually talking complete and utter bollocks. Only the terminally dim will persist.

AQI
otherwise known, i believe, as the Australian Questioning Intonation.

I have that - although I have never been to Australia
It comes from living for the past 15+ years amongst people without English as a first language - when they tend to speak English they question themselves whether they got the sentence right, which makes it go up at the end.

I have it now. Thanks you foreign bastards ;)

Damn, I thought that it was only...
...trashy girls from Beaumont, Texas!

And, y'know, illiterate skanks who somehow get jobs on television where they're allowed to "speak." Kathie Lee, Kelly, every "presenter" bimbo & himbo on the fucking tube...

If you MUST put the burden of the entire conversation onto someone else, in your little passive-aggressive mindfucks, then JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET THEM DO THE HEAVY LIFTING, as you are obviously not capable. If you wanna know something, just fucking ASK, don't act like you're wheedling for a "favor" or distracting the object of your attention whilst your mate lifts their wallet.
