Singaporean Gender Speech Pattern Differences

[nakatago]

Since bitching about Singlish is as productive as appealing for a rejected PR application for a single Asian (snicker), let's try something else.

Do Singaporean men have different speech patterns or expressions used from Singaporean women? How about Malaysians, since a number of them sound similar? While I don't get to speak with Singaporeans much (I'm surrounded by Indonesians and Indians at work), I don't notice any subtle differences when I do.

I think women are more often using all these expressive patterns like alamak, lah, lor, ayo, blur-blur (I have no idea how to write most of it down) etc. On the other hand men tend to use longer phrases (it's interesting and somehow contradictory to general gender and talking believes) as
"like nobody's business".
What is more on the Singlish part and not related to the gender of the speaker - they tend to mix up the pronouns he/she.

Interesting. I have just an opposite impression
->Nakatago, why do you actually expect such patterns? Strongly patriarchal structure of the society?

Not that I expect them but I want to know if there are differences. For example, in Japan, I've been told that in some regions, women pronounce words differently.

Just a curiosity.

Are there any differences across the island geographically? Australia is quite rare in that acent is generally the same everywhere, I can tell by specific words people will say as to where they are from and QLD's talk with a slight twang, then consider the uk where 50km has you speaking a totally different accent. US has southern, eastern, mid west, western accents. I would have thought Singapore would be more on socio econmic or ethnic backgrounds.

Yes it is obvious you don't speak to Singaporeans much or know much about Singapore.

You are just a drug damaged brain who knows nothing about Singapore.

(more mindless drivel)

hmmm...that's better. direct, baseless insult. although, it would have been better if you went further with your accusation. why don't you try again? how about listing some points how singapore is a much, much better than other countries. that seems to be a popular tactic. you may link sites with statistics or news articles if you wish. probably, also insert a line or two about ns if you're so inclined. and don't forget to make more assumptions so you could insult me further.

You are so dumb. You are just a retard whom everyone stares and throw bananas at. And it will forever be like that. As for insulting you more, I will try to find the time. I am glad you liked it.

(vitriol)

That was a tad bit better; well, the first part at least. However, finding the time to insult someone online kinda defeats the purpose of trolling. I'm sorry, but you fail.

nakatago, you don't need my help here.

This one's a lightweight. I doubt if it could punch it's way out of a wet paper bag. His last post almost gave his age away. A couple of more and it'll reveal itself. I've currently got it as either under 20 or a damned stupid adult.

not that i need your help but it's a slow night...

and as EADG said in the other thread,

We got a live one here. This looks to be fun.
