What's the point of the International Phonetic Alphabet? Geoff Pullum in @chronicle: chronicle.com/blogs/linguafr…
@aaronbauman I wonder if "pixelated" (ie "pixel" + "-ated") punned the earlier word if it was just coincidence
@MisterSlang @StanCarey oh yeah-that's definitely tequila-bender-worthy
@Linguagroover "squiffy" sounds more "drank that pint a little too fast" than "I will finish this bottle of chartreuse by sunrise"
@StanCarey lots of plosives and eases - all kinds of onomatopoeic implications come to mind
@StanCarey @MisterSlang interesting that it's near-homophone "blasted" has also come to mean "drunk" in the past few decades
Was startled by use of "plastered" (drunk) on Downton Abbey but seem this dates to 1912 etymonline.com/index.php?term… etymonline.com/index.php?term…

@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy PS I'm realizing "non-coronal" is a bad descriptor as coronality doesn't define English /r/ (hi, bunched r!)
@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy [2/2] is a pretty good example: goo.gl/cs5di1, at least for younger speakers, although it varies
@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy [1/2] Sorry, just saw this now! I think this RTE report on Limerick gangs ...
K. Lamar uses AAE's continuative "steady" in "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" ("steady being distracted"="continue being distracted")
@Stoller_System [2/2] Makes some sense since /r/ is oft. velarized in Ireland, so it's a matter of weakening/dropping the coronal component
@Stoller_System [1/2] A lot of what sounds to me like ɰ (Hickey also mentions ʁ in some areas)
