Oh, this gave me a good laugh! The "valley girl" talk has a lot of 
influence here. It is quite like my 12 y.o. daughter and her classmates 
talk when together (and this is in Spanish!). It also reminds me the way 
local web startup guys talk. The "uber cool" people that like to call 
the Palermo neighborhood in Buenos Aires "Palermo Valley"... :D
