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 " |

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. |
