Someone said it with an unpleasant tone, like this
"Yoghurt is so gay-EEEEEE!"

I think yoghurt is not his cup of coffee, isn't it? 8)

I also heard another one,

"Could bE-EEEEEEE!" 8)

That's so British! Do you use lots of EEEEEEE at the end of the utterance?

Kind of like a rising tone in Chinese. I think that's an irony. :wink:

If the tone is rising and hesitant,it indicates uncertainty. ;-)
