A way of speaking that derives out of Westwood, New Jersey. It involves saying every sentence like it's a question. As you are speaking through a sentence it starts to get higher and higher pitched. A very common response using the Westwood accent is "k ya you, right?" and "What are you talking about" with "talking about" being very high pitched. People with this accent also love to say "Try again" after responding to anyone about anything as a sign of disrespect. You might even hear them add "Ski" to the end of every last word of a sentence, but this is only if they fuck with you. The origins of the accent come out of Westwood High School with pioneers like Nicholas Galli, Justin Boesch, Connor "Kanye" Abbott, and many others. Many words in English get replaced using this accent such as the word "Gay" changing to the term "Atlanta". And someone who is a "Fiend" being referred to as a "Chiefer" and so on. If you are trying to learn how to speak with this accent you need to learn how to speak with a thick New Jersey/ New York accent and practice saying everything as a question.
