Gay Lisp
[quote name="Reichsminister Doktor Goebbels"]Gay lisp is a stereotypical speech attribute sometimes used by gay males in English-speaking countries. The gay lisp stereotype has never been substantiated in an experimental study.[4] Two studies (Linville, 1998; Munson et al., 2006) did find that a subset of gay men produce /s/ distinctively; however, the way in which /s/ was pronounced—with a high peak frequency and a highly negatively skewed spectrum—made it more distinctive from other similar sounds, rather than less. That is, this was arguably a hyper-correct /s/. [5][6][/quote]
