Valspeak information - Search.com |
| | Valspeak is a common name for the dialect used by valley girls, stereotypical dumb blondes, living in the San Fernando Valley, with rich parents, a superficial social life and a lot of attention for fashion and parties. |
| | Though a fad, many phrases and elements of Valspeak, along with surfer slang and skateboarding slang, have become a permanent part of the California English dialect, and in some cases wider American English (such as the widespread use of "like" as conversational filler). |
| | The term "Valley Girl" and the Valley manner of speech was given a wider circulation with the release of a hit single by Frank Zappa entitled "Valley Girl," on which Moon Unit Zappa, Frank's fourteen-year-old daughter, delivered a monologue of meaningless phrases in "valspeak" behind the music. |

Valspeak - ArticleWorld (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
| | Valspeak is a slang term adopted to describe the way of speaking used by valley girl. |
| | Like many other fads, valspeak may have gained recognition due to exposure within the recording industry when Moon Unit Zappa released an album when she spoke strings of valspeak in the background of the songs. |
| | Valspeak can be recognized by a rising intonation pattern, known as upspeak. |

| | :: goldi :: related - ( ford grody steve ken heather kathryn ) by Spell-Dictionary |
| | Etymology: This is generally thought to be a clipped form of grotesque, like the more familiar grotty, but it could perhaps be a diminutive of gross, which has been a favourite term of disgust among American youngsters in recent decades (compare scuzzy for 'disgusting': see scuzz). |
| | History and Usage: Grody has been in spoken use since the late sixties but became fashionable through the spread of Valspeak in the early eighties (especially in the phrase grody to the max). |
| | By 1985 a new noun had appeared: the grodies were the bag people, the homeless tramps who slept rough in the streets. |

| | In Reply to: Jonesing (Valspeak?) and "mmm hmm" for "you're welcome" posted by The Fallen on January 10, 2002 |
| | I suspect valspeak here (and thank you to whoever brought that wonderful term to my attention in an earlier thread). |
| | I'm not sure "mmm hmm"is used as a synonym for 'you're welcome' unless it is a regional phonomenon like "ehyup" for yes in some parts of New England or "you bet" or "you betcha" for "you're welcome" in North and South Dakota. |

| | Pop Culture Travel Phrases |
| | "Valspeak" originated in the 1970s with self-absorbed, affluent girls living in California's San Fernando Valley area in Los Angeles. |
| | The young women became known as "Valley girls" or "Vals". |
| | Valspeak became a fad in 1982 thanks to Frank Zappa's hit song "Valley Girl". |

| | Valley Girl |
| | The origin of the term "valley girl" is not attributable to any particular source, but the phrase gained widespread recognition in 1982, with the release of the Frank Zappa song/monologue "Valley Girl", which mocked the speech and attitudes of privileged teenage girls in southern California. |
| | The idiom took root in mainstream consciousness and today, elements of "Valspeak" are found in every corner of teenage American culture, regardless of geographic location. |
| | The concept of "Valley Girl" has therefore broadened to include any vacuous, materialistic young girl who uses a disproportionate amount of this type of speech. |
