Yes, the 'ax' for 'ask' gets to me too. And I used to have a boss that would say 'dest' for 'desk' and 'twicet' for 'twice'. I als cringe when people say 'Januwury' or 'Febuwury.' |

Okay, my husband and everybody in his family says "All-timers" instead of Alzheimers. I have a good friend of the family who says "Buff-ette" instead of buffet. My friend's mother says "zink" instead of "sink". What about when people say, "Where are you AT?" I always tell my son to drop the at!!! And, I just can't stand when after every other word a "you know what I mean?" has to follow. |

and the at really gets me too! |
My mom is infamous for "heel" rather than hill, "Filim" rather than film, and "Brownchitis" for bronchitis!!! |

Oh yeah, my husband's grandfather says "Taganol" instead of "Tylenol". My sister-in-law says "I had to go take some tesses" instead of "I had to go take some tests" (that one really burns me up). |
:confuse2: Oooooh...and fire ain'ts! |
Two more: Ambalams? Al-blums? (That one is for you folks who were born BEFORE the CD era). |

my grandfather cant pronounce cosmo so out of the blue he decides to call him tylone... thats how he says tylenol:rolleyes: I think its cause he can't hear that well.. |
we are always making fun of my mom because she says Camry (like the car) for camera and far instead of fire. Oh and she drives and Intrepid and she calls it an interpret. lol |

That reminds me of that movie with Joe Pesci when he's the lawyer.......what is the movie? Anyway, when he keeps saying "youts", and finally the judge says, "What, sir, is a yout?":yelrotflm :yelrotflm :yelrotflm |
oh, and baccer instead of tobacco. My son calls a backhoe a backeehoe, of course he is only 2.:p |
i used to work for discover card and a lot of the older card members would always say Discovery card instead of Discover it drove us all bonkers |

Oh yea!!! LOL!!! Wasn't it 'My Cousin Vinny'? Tooo funny!!! Reminds me of one time this girl was trying to beat me up, and she kept saying she was going to punch me in my "mouf". She kept saying it and me (to be a smart a$$) said "What is a mouf? I'd like to know so I can know where to block!" She didn't like that very much. :D |
Oh! Oh! And when I was a teller (for many years) and customers would come in and say they wanted to deposit into the "checkins" acct. CHECKING!!! It's a checkinGGG account!!! And then the next week they'd still come in and want to deposit into their checkins acct. :confuse2: |
:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears OMG too funny!! |
The ones that get me - when people say Ax instead of Ask. Or I SEEN her the other day instead of I SAW her. Living in New England, I'm adjusting to the Boston accent too when people say 'Cah' instead of 'Car'. But they think I have a 'Canadian' accent. :rolleyes: |
Oh....we mustn't forget the infamous: <drum roll, please> amalance (a' ma-lance) "Call for a amalance " |
Quote:
YES!!! There was a commercial for on-star and the lady who answered it said "I'm sending an amalance right away". Are you kidding me?!? They actually put it in a commercial!!! |
I'm a medical librarian and it drives me up the wall when people call it a liberry instead of a library. I also dislike hearing perscription instead of prescription. My husband mis-speaks a lot on purpose just to get me to laugh. He comes up with some duzzies. In Chicago a lot of people say I "seen" it instead of I "saw" it. Grrrr |

My husband mispronouces a lot of words just for fun -- he knows how they are supposed to be but has more fun saying them different. Like car-a-fay instead of carafe. He said this so many times that I called it a carafay in front of a bunch of parents at a school function. I felt like a dolt! But then I told a couple of people close to me where it came from and they laughed with me. |
