pop perceptual linguistic insights (?)

[David Barnhart]

"Zits" by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman this morning:



Jeremy's girl friend says to him as he is snacking: "Gross-uh Stop i-tuh"
and as she walks away in disgust "You can be such a chil-duh."



Jeremy says to his pal: "The super-accented ending consonant is the new
exclamation point."



His pal says: "Coo-luh."
