When did the exclamation "Really?" become an expression of disdain?
When the exclamatory “Really?” expresses surprise, the voice starts low and ends high. But when the voice starts high and stays high, the word expresses annoyance. As in “Really? You’re going to text your friends during our date?” This seems new to me.
Is this a new usage? What’s its origin?
