Baby Talk – Why Do Couples Use It With One Another?

Imagine you’re strolling through a park and you overhear a middle-aged couple cooing over each other, doting over their “wittle sugar pwum” and “baby doll.” “Ewwww,” you might reflexively think. Baby talk is cute when grown-ups dote on babies. But when adults converse with each other? Not so much. Yet in my work as a communication sciences and disorders researcher, I’ve come across studies showing that as many as two-thirds of couples use romantic baby talk. It may sound strange and elicit cringes, but it’s no disorder. So why do couples do it? First, it’s important to understand what, exactly, I mean by “baby talk.” It’s not how babies talk to one another. It’s the exaggerated pitch, tempo and intonation that parents use when talking to their little ones – what linguists call “motherese” ...

What Is ‘The Ick’? Another TikTok Trend

Raquel Peel, University of Southern Queensland “The ick”, much discussed on TikTok and Instagram lately, is where attraction to a current or potential partner is suddenly flipped to a feeling of disgust. It’s often triggered in an instant, social media users say, by witnessing some kind of turn-off – a bad dance move, a grating laugh, or an off-putting eating style. So what might be behind “the ick”? Are you letting ‘the ick’ undermine your chances in love? One possibility is this is a self-defensive mechanism or strategy to protect against relationship failure, fear of commitment, fear of intimacy, or rejection sensitivity. Models of relationship counselling practice explain attraction is a “flip flop” phenomenon, where the thing that attracts you to someone today can be the same th...

Should Someone Take It Personally If Another Person Goes Silent On Them?

If one was in a position where they wanted to start a new relationship, they might decide to join an online dating side. This could be seen as the best way for them to find someone to be with. No Shame In the past, online dating was frowned upon, and this was partly because it was radically different to meeting someone in the real world. Along with this, it was seen as something that someone would use if they were a bit awkward. Nowadays, it is seen as a normal way to meet someone; in fact, meeting someone in the real world is often seen as something that is a bit strange. This shows how much the world has changed. Part of Life However, if one wasn't around when online dating wasn't available, this is going to be something they have grown up with. This is then going to be no different to g...

In One Way Or Another Madelaine Petsch The Foxy And Fiery Redhead Is Going To Take The World By Storm

This little South African stunner with her strawberry locks on top, might be one of the most searched for gingers on god's green earth, and rightfully so! Madelaine Petsch spent her early days splitting her time between Washington and South African, which is mom and dad's homeland, so she has an adorable accent to go along with her amazing rack and ravishing red hair too. She got her first role back in 2014 in the horror/sci-fi flick The Hive, then followed that up with another smaller role in the fantasy horror flick The Curse of Sleeping Beauty (2016), shortly there after. It wasn't until 2017 though, when Madelaine was cast on the massive teenage hit based on the original Archie comics, Riverdale, that made her a household name. She took on the role of Cheryl Blossom, a privileged r...

The secondhand smoke you’re breathing may have come from another state

Scientists estimate that each year in the U.S., outdoor air pollution shortens the lives of about 100,000 people by one to two decades. As it turns out, much of this pollution originates not in a person’s own neighborhood, but up to hundreds or even thousands of miles away in neighboring states. And, absent strong federal regulations, there’s very little Americans can do about it. In a study published on Feb. 12, we used state-of-the-art modeling to estimate the number of air pollution-related deaths that combustion emissions – those from any kind of burning, from cook stoves to car engines to coal power plants – from each state have caused in every other state over the past 14 years. On average, 41% of these air pollution deaths in the U.S. resulted from what we call “secondhand smok...
