Hyphen Speak
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: OMG I can not believe you said that- like-
