Nu-cu-ler. enough said.

I hate when people insert an "R" in words that don't even have that letter... we have a lady in our bank that does this.. drives me insane. LOL.

I had a college friend who always said "flustrated" instead of "frustrated." Drove me up a wall.

Nonaccrualled instead of non-accrued. I bite my lip until it bleeds.

My ex-mother-in-law was from Queens, NY, she always pronounced my name with an "r" on the end... Marear (think: my rear) instead of Maria... do you think she ever liked me?

Ever see that commercial for FED Ex, where the guy says to his co-worker, "You know you aren't always right. We get fringe benefits, not french benefits."

My Mom thought that if a word was what was considered naughty, if she mispronounced it, then it was OK. (Mom was very prudish.) So she said negged instead of naked, woor instead of wh*$% (woman of ill repute), harmone instead of hormone (sounded too much like a woman of ill repute).

speaking of inserting an "r" into a word where it doesn't fit.......how about "Warsh" for wash? That sounds so silly!

I agree with the lazy pronunciation irritation as well..."gimmie" instead of give me. That's annoying!

How about, like, when people, ummmmm insert extraneous words, that, like, really don't, you know, belong in that sentence?

Almost along the same subject. I received this by email today.

"Tenjewberrymuds."

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation.

The following is (supposedly) a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:

Room Service (RS): "Morrin. ; Roon sirbees."

I'd love to have seen the written order.. LOL... how they spelled these words...

from a customer who was at my window 5 minutes ago... "pursiest"

My social s'kurity don't come pursiest on the first uv da munt. It varies accordin' to yer birthday, well not yer birthday but yer birth week, well you know not ON yer birthday but in the week when yer birthday would fall if it was yer birthday.


*sigh*

I know a lady whose sister is a total hoot. One day she was talking about someone who was killed in an auto accident... she was telling about how they "got dead".

I still can't tell what pursiest would be.

Sounds like half of the football players interviewed on TV. Sometimes I wonder how they could have gradjeated college when they talk like 'at.

Uncle Milty: Is IT true?

We have a drive in teller that makes your drivers license plural. "do you have your license? Could you send them in?"

Or when people say "pose" instead of suppose. "Is that the way it is pose to be?"

Or Holt instead of hold. "Holt it right there."

My favorite, " How bout now?" What??

how about a customer that says... "Can you cash me the check?"

In south Louisiana, I think we have more than anyone...

Making groceries - means to grocery shop
where ya at - means how are you doing
how's yer mom and dem - means how is the family
hosepipe - water faucet
kitchen zink - the sink
earl - oil
soap powder - laundry detergeant

In deep South Philadelphia, sausage has a 'z' in it; sauzage. 'Gas' is occasionally 'gaz', too.

And in Texas we are always "fixin"... Fixin go to the store.. Fixin get gas.. LOL.. ya get the point.. LOL.
