   en.wikipedia.org Eefing Eefing (also written eeephing, eephing, eeefing, eefin, or eefn') is an Appalachian (United States) vocal technique similar to beatboxing, but nearly a century older. NPR's Jennifer Sharpe describes it as "a kind of hiccupping, rhythmic wheeze that started in rural Tennessee more than 100 years ago." An eefing piece called "Swamp Root" was one of the first singles recorded and released by Sam Phillips.

    The limits of that “Bear-of-a-Man” - @Jake’s brilliance has no bounds and exceeds the talents of at least 1.195 normal men (approximately) and that… that… Hype… ever-present (omnipresent) - thrown down with all that E-NR-GEE (my own contributing sounds to bend the rules a bit @Jake ) by “The Hype-Man” @AdamAsh… well… mere words cannot express… But I’ll try… INFECTIOUS - but in a way one wants to catch! I have already played all lesson vids like 3 times… and need to see it again. What is wrong with me? You guys were on fahr to a fever-pitch… I got me a fever… And the only prescription… is more Eefin. That was one lesson… that was… well… a lesson! MASTERFUL JOB FELLAS! Waitin’ for the next video from @Jake in this series (one basic lesson just wasn’t enough) with contributions, of course, from… What was it? The HYPER-Man?.. Oh, the Hype-Man @AdamAsh, that was it!.. Always there (even standing off-camera) but bringin’ all that hype - in heeps! Heeps-o’Hype!
