PLOSIVE SLANG
The plosive sounds - [t, d, p, b] - are a set of distinctive consonant sounds that occur at the end of vowels when they are pronounced with the tongue against the upper teeth. While they don't come from any specific group of people, there is no consensus on their origins and use.
Example Sentence:
"Hey! Can you plosively say 'hello'?" A person might respond like this, "Yeah, I know what that means. It's a fancy way to greet someone!"
The Plosive Sounds Are...
1. [T] - Ticks the head back.
2. [D] - Darts across the tongue against the upper teeth and sounds as if it were a slight tap on the lips.
3. [P] - Picks up a syllable, sounding like "p" at the end of a word, while also making a small noise similar to a sneeze.
4. [B] - Barks back or gives a high-pitched sound that is slightly louder than a snore but still recognizable as something going on in your throat.
These sounds are often used in different ways by individuals and groups alike. For example, the "plosive" could be a sign of agreement or respect, while it might also indicate disapproval or offense. But keep in mind that these words have been used for generations and may not always carry the same meaning
