Just say a lot of words, it doesn't matter what they are. Just keep talking for what appears to be a reasonable amount of time, it doesn't really matter what you say. Just say it like you mean it.
"I think we need to be thoughtful about the thought processes we're thinking about, and the thinking behind our thoughts."* Don't forget to include lots of thoughtful pauses.
*Not a real quote. Or is it?

(63,221 posts)Even behind that breathy, over enunciated manner of speaking w/ a few 50-cent words dropped in, she still sounds like a complete and utter moron.

(108,980 posts)All I knew was she probably took elocution lessons somewhere, so she wouldn't sound like some weird combo of her mother and her father.

(115,735 posts)That annoying "uptalk" (ending sentences with a high-pitched inflection, as if asking a question) is extremely annoying and makes her sound dumb and frivolous.

(51,611 posts)"uptalk" is perfect. It drives me crazy. The Kardashians speak this way and that is never a good influence.
When I was a teacher and high school kids would come and help my first graders out for extra credit that is how they spoke too. I thought it would set a negative example for my students. They also have this unusual and unique style of printing that is almost illegible (slanted and angular). My students were taught to print correctly and when the high school helpers would correct their homework and tests my class would come to me since they couldn't tell what was written. Neither could I most of the time.

Listening to her speak brings to mind a Daniel Tosh quote, "I'm better than you, na-na na-na boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo."
