If you have noticed, there is a phenomenon in the pronunciations of Arab American youth in Dearborn which is extending the vowels, almost obnoxiously, when using exclamations.
I don’t know where that came from, but perhaps from the extension of Arabic vowels in the slang of Southern Lebanon villages, which is the founding majority of Arabs in Dearborn.
