Hah! That was really interesting, thanks for sharing. I never considered that people from the south would have idiosyncratic facial and behavioral tics.

Being from the suburbs of the sf bay area, now I’m wondering is there anything similar that’s characteristic of people from the west coast?

As I understand it, uptalk began as more typically spoken by adolescent or young women and then spread to some men --but not just in the bay area but generally, initially east and west coasts. Then there is vocal fry but that's a different phenomenon.
