Mariahisms
A variation of "Complete joke" and "Complete mess."
COMPLETE AND TOTAL MESS:
A classic phrase at this point - refers to anything getting on one's nerves or just said as a casual throwaway when the explanation is too long.
COMPLETE NONSENSE:
Said in the same accent as 'Complete joke' or 'Complete mess' with emphasis on the consonants and a slight whistle effect on the end 'se'.
DRAMA:
Basically, meaning a whole bunch of "nonsense" and a big "mess."
DRAMATICKING:
The verb describing the action of drama
(I) DON�T KNOW, AND NEITHER DO YOU:
A coy phrase used when Mariah wants to be secretive about a particular subject.
EAT, DRINK, DANCE, WHATEVER:
Mariah�s way of stating that people are free to do what they like.
ENSEMBLE:
Same as "outfit" (e.g. "Do you like the ensemble?")
FREAKIN�:
Mariah uses this all the time in place of a swear word such as you-know-what.
HOLLA:
Mariah�s way of saying "hi!" or telling her fans that she will be sending another message soon i.e. "I�ll holla back soon."
HONEY B. FLY:
Mariah�s secret nickname that became not so secret. Used in the Honey So So Def remix by Da Brat.
IF THAT'S GONNA MAKE YOU HAPPY:
Basically said in a sarcastic manner - i.e. who am I? It's all about you! e.g. When someone is clearly only interested in their own point of view. For instance, "Please, try the halibut, I insist." You could respond with, "Hey...might as well - if that's gonna make you happy." (even if you hate halibut!) And then proceed to order something else!
IN FACT:
MC uses this phrase at the end of statements to say "just so you know."
LAMB:
A term of endearment - e.g. 'You're my lamb' or 'Hey, lamb!' - when addressing a loved one or close friend. My use of this term originated from a story told to me by the "Grammy nominated Trey Lorenz" dating back a few years which would not be politically correct to repeat!
LAMBY:
Same as above but used when one is a little more familiar with you.
HEY, MIGHT AS WELL...IF YOU GOT A LITTLE EXTRA:
Said in the same accent as "yeah...and hey" with a tad more zest - e.g. A waiter approaches with the question, 'Would you care for something to drink?' Your response could be, "Hey - if they got a little extra in the back and ain't nobody else drinkin' it... might as well...fill me up a glass" - or something of that nature.
MESS:
Used often as "that whole mess," which refers to a weird/ difficult situation. Note "mess" is pronounced with an "sh" at the end.

OKAAAAAAY:
Used with sarcasm when Mariah is unsure of the situation in other words "you do what you want, but whatever."

Another form of "Oh Dear."

YEEAAH:
Mariah often starts her online voice messages with this greeting.
YEAH, AND HEY...:
Said together as a verbal pause in the following ways: 1. Sometimes while resigning due to the realization that you can't change something or someone - i.e. whatever - not said angrily, though. 2. A random transition (said slowly) - i.e. 'yeah...and hey---'. Here 'yeah' is a tone or two higher than 'hey'. It is necessary to pause between the 'yeah' and the 'and'. 3. When a hush falls upon a crowd of two or more people, it is also appropriate to say. We all know why!
YOU LOVE ME:
All-purpose, anytime phrase. A greeting, a goodbye, or just something to throw into a pause in the conversation or to interject loudly while someone is speaking.
