American Youth Colloquialisms - Game Information

The youth language is kind of annoying for every grown-up, but I suppose that's how it works...

Awesome, until you have tried it about ten times in order to get %100 on it. I really liked it before, but now I am not Sure, you'know, like those random one-click games, that are like so annoying? Right? (I really don't think or talk in that format, but it gets the point across.) HAHA

People like like like. Words like like like fill a purpose (or at least a pause in a sentence).

I think that going up at the end of sentences is very common in many sorts of modern English. Welsh people have a tendency to do it, especially if they are getting a bit animated. In the case of Welsh English it is probably not a new thing at all, though.

Australians frequently adopt a question-like pitch pattern with non-questions and this is also spreading among younger speakers in England.

"An annoying habit resulting in sing-song speech" I thought this was going to be "Speaking Norwegian". Perhaps that isn't such a widespread habit among young Americans, come to think of it.

Perhaps "gay" could be added to the list, if it isn't offensive (?)

Please comment freely to add others you think of - I may update the game or create another along these lines.

Though I titled this "American Youth Colloquialisms" I realize that many of these usages have been around a long time and are used by all ages - and you'll see that I mixed in some non-colloquial meanings as well.

I am curious though, to what extent the colloquial meanings and usages are predominately North American, and which ones are also frequently heard in the rest of the English speaking world. Please comment here with your experience.
