Grumblers

Women or girls that have an unusual method of talking whereby the spoken words start in a normal clear voice and then are rolled to the back of the throat allowing a steady rumble or raspy sound to take over the words as if she were running out of air.
The trend is spreading accross the country much the way Valley girl speak did in the 1980's. You can hear grumblers on the radio, tv and the worst, is in person.

Grumbledore

The character of Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies that is butchered by Michael Gambon. Dumbledore is written to be the "epitome of goodness" who is brilliant, kind, and amusing.
