Rob Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That's what I do. Make a mental note of the thickos. Sometimes I make up impressive words or deliberately mispronounce existing ones and wait to see which daft c**t uses them. Is that mean? You're so frasmotic.

danhicks22 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 On a slightly related note, I find it infuriating when people refer to multiple text messages as 'textses'. Makes me want to break things. Mostly them. And their stupid faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 This happens in typing too, like when someone types "walla" instead of "voila" heard the phrase before, and repeating it without ever seen it written down (I haven't searched for that word before posting this, so I'm not actually aiming this pacifically at anyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Oh oh that reminds me - I was scooting around Norwich once doing whatever, had missed a meal, was beginning to crash, so ducked into ye local shoppe in a ropey part of Norwich. In front of me in the queue to the till was a comically cliche'd chav family. I amused myself by observing their default behaviour in a snootily aloof fashion. It was the rounding up of crap to eat for a special night in. "Do you want Doreetows, dad?" says chavette #1 "Yeah, get me the tanjy cheese ones" Yes, tan-jy. With a j. I snorked an involuntary laugh out my nose and had to immediately feign a coughing fit. For quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We have an elderly neighbor who speaks in a beautifully clipped BBC way. She pronounces house as hice, pounds as pineds and bugger as baggah. I bet she'd pronounce Ralph as Raif too if I axed her to. Her cat is called Tiffin. She would never say 'someone I used to know', she would say 'someone I once knew'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 When people say 'ideals' instead of 'ideas', for example: "bounce ideals around. We came up with a few ideals". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 When people say 'ideals' instead of 'ideas', for example: "bounce ideals around. We came up with a few ideals". I might be reading that wrong, but it makes sense to me? Ideals as in 'aspirational targets' or something? like corporate bollocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I might be reading that wrong, but it makes sense to me? Ideals as in 'aspirational targets' or something? like corporate bollocks? How about: "We came up with a few ideals that I think might work."? I understand what you mean with "We came up with a few ideals", but surely bouncing ideals around doesn't work? You don't brainstorm ideals do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 'Could of' and 'should of' drive me nuts (as in 'I could of been a contender'). Using 'electrocuted' to mean 'receiving an electric shock of any sort' instead of 'receiving a fatal electric shock', (as in 'I just got electrocuted by that battery').

CJ Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 When people say 'ideals' instead of 'ideas', for example: "bounce ideals around. We came up with a few ideals". That is very much a Bath / Somerset idiosyncrasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 That is very much a Bath / Somerset idiosyncrasy And so is the redundant 'to' when asking about the location of something. For example, 'Melton Chewbury-on-the-Water? Where's that to, then?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I keep on meaning to post this up on the forum but judging by the continual use of the offending words, I would probably spend half my life doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I find the beginning of this thread rather funny. Used is pronounced "yoost"? Are you mad? that is completely the wrong way to say that word and fits in nicely with the other mispronunciations. Ironically you think that a much more fitting pronunciation of the word sounds "ghetto". you-zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
