I'm guessing I do it, too.  I also turn up the twang when I talk to hicks back in my hometown.

But the embarrassing part is that they are using the black vernacular that was popular like 5 years ago to what is being currently used today?  Best displayed by Chingon.  Thanks brah.

"Hey Kietz thanks for taking my call.  WAZZUUUUUUUUUUUP?!?"

"Sure.  WAZZUUUUUUUUP!!"

I'm guilty of the bold.  My voice gets even whiter when I talk to people with ghetto accents.

I can't help but sound like Phil Liggett or Paul Sherwin, complete with British accent whilst watching the Tour de France.
