The tone in one's voice that changes it from proper to ghetto without having to change the included diction.
Did you hear Shawn change to his ghetto tone during his speech? I sort of expected someone to go up and yell 'Flocka!'

A little "trend" started by Verizon wireless in which songs are substituted for that same old ringing sound.
Unfortunately, each sound clip is tinny and static-ridden, and lasts about 30 seconds before repeating.
They may also cause your friends to hate you. Realize that this is only because you've had "Baby Got Back" on ringback for sixth months. This is why they no longer call you.
Along with the tones comes a tricky system online where you set them up and decide whether you want a Jukebox (a playlist of many different songs) or just one song over and over again. Each tone is $0.99 and lasts a year.
Dick: (picking up) Hello?
Jane: Why did you pick up? I was totally grooving to your Ms. New Booty ringback tone!
Dick: I know, isn't it the shizzle?

I woman with a high and scratchy voice.
that bitch with the frog tone just makes me want to shoot myself.
Originating form /s and /j in early internet culture, standing for sarcasm and joking, since they can't be communicated easily over text. They were based on the end tags in HTML (i.e. "</sarcasm>").
Newer ones were created on Carrd and are predominately used on TikTok, Twitter, Discord. These include /gen for genuine, or /srs for being serious.
While they may help some autistic and those mentally ill and were created for neurodivergent people, they can also cause communication to be more difficult or be a trigger for anxiety. Especially since they're sometimes used to troll or make fun of people. They're also often criticized for being confusing and needing to have a Carrd open to understand what someone is trying to say.
Always ask if a person is okay to use tone tags for them or not, don't assume.
"Wow your art is so good!!! /gen"
"Why would that be non genuine?"
"I just like to use tone tags /nm /gen"
"I should hope you're not mad and being genuine?"

A person who is tone deaf lacks the ability to correctly hear relative differences between musical notes.
in the music lesson:
teacher: "ok bob, give me a SOL"
bob does something with the guitar...
teacher: "NOO!!!, that's not a SOL!!... are you tone deaf ?!!"
