So I ask: "What is the word that is sung in auto-tuney songs that sounds like 'all right' but with an 'sh'? 'Sharidte?'"

  • Aziz: It's absolutely not your fault.
  • Timoni: good. *ahem*
  • Aziz: It is said, so as to best exploit auto-tune: "Show-uh-ty."
  • Timoni: it's shorty? and not 'salright?
  • Timoni: but why are they calling everybody shorty!
  • Aziz: It means "baby".
  • Aziz: But it sounds better than "baby" when a computer is making your voice on-pitch.
  • Timoni: ohhhhhhhhhhhh
  • Aziz: But it also refers TO a baby.
  • Timoni: a tiny tiny baby?
  • Aziz: A baby of any size.
