I think that style, if it could not be corrected, would make me look for

Wusses, the majority.

It's a California thing. From New York, sentences are generally
ended with "and do you have a problem with THAT?"

I think I get it.
East Coast - scheisskopf
West Coast - Dumbass

It's a way of, you know, making every, like, statement
sound like a question, you know? So that it seems like,
you're not, like, a know-it-all, and if someone challenges
you, you can kind of back away, without ever, like,
having to go back on what you said?

It's more, like, East Coast: "Dumbass" vs.
West Coast: "Dumbass?"
