Up-talking

When one, particularly a younger person, ends every phrase and sentence as if it were a question. This practice could be derived from the "valley girl" excuse for talking during the nineties, but many people still do it today out of uncontrollable habit.

Teacher: Okay Tommy, it's your turn to present.

Tommy: oKAY(?) I was at the STORE(?) And there was the GUY(?) and like...

Teacher: okay. NEXT.

Jethro Tulling

(v.) The act of incorrectly assuming that a band whose name is a person's name is the name of a member of said band. This is most common by assuming that the band Jethro Tull's front man is actually named Jethro Tull, when, in reality, his name is Ian Anderson.

It is also common with the bands Gogol Bordello, Steely Dan, and Pink Floyd.

Mike: Did you see how amazingly Gogol Bordello can play his guitar?

Jeff: Dude, quit Jethro Tulling, the guy's name is Eugene Hütz, but he is most definitely amazing!

Talking out of his penis

A play on “talking out of your ass”. Similar meaning would be thinking with your “head”.

When you’re making out and he accidentally says “I love you”, but doesn’t really mean it, he just wants to get off. He’s talking out of his penis.
