The language of teenage white girls with an IQ below room temperature. This is when people end their sentences with a hyphen (a dash) or say the phrase "I-" by itself. This was popularized around the time "Sis I-" and "And I oop-" got attention. It is usually linked with VSCO girls, Gacha kids, Roblox Aesthetics, Twitter stans, and many other annoying types of people online. 9 times out of 10, the people who do this are usually sensitive, stan some sort of creator, idolize the LGBTQ+ community, are in the LGBTQ+ community itself, or are on the left-wing (Basically your average Twitter user). This quickly sparked memes making fun of this. One of the most popular examples is "Bitches be like 'I- I- You- Wow I-'." Along with memes, it has also started many Discord servers and communities against Hyphen Speak, some of which I am in myself.
Audrey: I-
Jason: I will tear you apart limb from limb if you continue doing that. You have been using hyphen speak for the last year and everyone hates you for it. This is why you have no friends, your family doesn't love you, and why you can't find a job. Stop pretending like you're stuttering online. It's annoying and unnecessary.
Audrey: OMG I can not believe you said that- like-

Get the Speak the Romanmug. a language started by a group of kids in the Michigan scene
it originated in the 248 area and is slowly moving into 586 and 734 area.
it was made to be an inside joke(wouldnt be on UB if it still was) so that friends could say things about other people in front of them and only a select few would know what was being said.
sadly this has slowly been spreading and is being used less and less by the originators in fear that they might be understood while speaking in there foreign tongue.

Get the text speakmug. Idle chit-chat, small talk, or casual conversation for the digital age. Short conversation meant to encapsulate an informal thought or idea. Also useful for people with short attention spans in the "Twitter" era.
Dude: Bro, I saw Gary the other day down at the bodega.
Dude #2: Oh yeah, you ask him about his divorce?
Dude: Nah, just some nano-speak about the weather and TV. I didn't want to get into a long conversation about his pain.
Dude #2: His wife was hot.
