Word or expression for comments that are technically correct but unhelpful From "periphery", the outer part or edge - essentially, "out on the edge", so a very good choice here. |

Meaning of “I'm kind of on a clock here” In New York English, especially informally spoken (specifically a Brooklyn accent), a "the" following a word ending in "n" will often be pronounced as if it were n-schwa, giving the resultant sound of, "Hey, I'm onnuh clock here," with an emphasis on "clock" and a rising tone from "on" to "clock". |

What does “slicker than snot on a doorknob” mean? It's likely, as tchrist notes below, that the original alliterative substance was bowdlerized to "snot". |

Looking forward To me, "Look forward" describes a static continuous state; "looking forward" is more transient. "I'm looking forward to your call, but if someone shows me a LOLcat I'll probably forget about it." |

Can a noun (such as “duct tape”) be used as a verb? Corrected punctuation, added a couple similar examples. |

Is “guy” gender-neutral? In Texas, you've got the "y'all" equivalent. I sometimes find myself using this instead of "guys", even though technically I grew up above the Mason-Dixon line by a few miles. |

Intention of rising pitches Yes, the "are you listening" pitch is approximately a whole step; the "frustrated" pitch shift is a fourth or fifth; the "uptalk" pitchshift is often nearly an octave. |
