Foo - Crap that annoys the Living **** out of me!!!

People that pronounce sword : "suh-ward".


The w is silent people. I promise you this.:crash:

Yeah, kinda like when people say ga-host or ka-nife, huh?

You run into a lot of people talking about sa-words?

"Hold on there fella, I'm gonna run you through with my suh-ward."

"You rascal! I'ma gonna cut you from ass hole ta appatite wit mu sa-word!"

Are we talking about nugget sauce? I can't ask for sweet & suh-ward anymore? Gee, I guess BBQ will have to do.

Hay ass holes...would it not be easir to just add to the **** list rather than giving real word examples of stupidity? Thanks for nothing.

Hey, Dipper! Long time no see!
The one that used to really annoy me was sovereignty pronounced "sov-ren-ity". Where the heck does that come from? Haven't heard it pronounced that way in years, thankfully.

Hey A! Yeah it's been awhile, my fellow stickler for all things linguistic. Have a great holiday. Hope you get to hang with your dad some. Cheers.

I ain't got no time to waste on this here tread, I am cleaning the forks on my bike.


:lol:

:roflmao2:

You used to be able to hear some good ones over the store intercom at Walfart:

The manager of our jewelry department would always say "julie"; her staff would say "jewry".

One of our phone operators, when announcing the morning staff meeting (locations TBA daily, this day in what's called an "action alley", due to high expectations of sales), would say, "actionality." If calling for customer assistance, this one would call them "customuns."

It annoyed me for a while, then I just started laughing at it.

Best one I know, and I've witnessed it, is what a lot of older black folks say: instead of "electricity", it's "electwicity". My sister's husband (10 yrs my senior) does it, I almost draw him into talks about it just to hear him say it!

Yup. You're an ass. :thumb:

Having to adjust your 990 for an hour to get the perfect pull.

At work, we run a backup of our point-of-sale database daily. I have some I.T. background, so there's a logbook and stuff. The backup takes 3 minutes to run, so the guys started passing the time by putting doodles and witticisms in the "Comments" box. You know, the one where I'd put notes like "Backed up QuickBooks to encrypted flash drive #3 prior to updating QuickBooks to release R8 and rebooting."

At first, I was irritated. This is TEH SACRED LOGBOOK OF BACKUPS being abused here! :twitchy: Fools, I'll destroy them all, etc etc.

But on further reflection... if that's what motivates the employees to run the daily backup like clockwork, then heck, I should make the Comments box larger and provide a box of crayons :D

you would be amazed the difference a box of crayons or some chalk will make. One of my favorite bars had such an issue with graffiti, they eventually painted the walls black and left out chalk. It cut the clean up budget in half. No re-painting the place every few months.

Thanks, you too! Heading down to HK to spend Christmas with my sister and her inlaws (which usually means lots of Champagne) -- then parents heading out this way for Chinese New Year!

Bringing a bike? Want a ride on the Island?

You and all your silly English Kaaaannnnigggits

"Unthaw"

DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE FREEZER ON NOT?!?

Bringing a bike? Want a ride on the Island?

Huh -- hadn't thought about it, but certainly not a silly idea! Won't be traveling with my own bike, though. Also, I'm terribly, terribly out of shape at the moment. Super long work days mean I haven't been bike commuting at all for the last few months :(

Irregardless of how it's pronounced, you still know what they mean.

People who spell 'pique' as 'peak' or 'peek'.

This thread has peeked my interest.

I've always hated the word "puke". I've never puked, I throw-up.

Sometimes peeking can be piquant.

I've also heard "joolery".

Nuc-u-lar instead of nuclear

People driving big, off-road 4X4 SUV/pickup trucks who slow down to 0.5 mph to go over speed bumps.

Nuc-u-lar instead of nuclear

Strategery. <--actually, I really like the word, wish the person who invented it actually said it on purpose instead of being just a moron.

People making 5x what I do, looking at really, really expensive bikes I can't even afford through manufacturers EP program, getting all butthurt because I won't discount an already amazing price on an ex-demo bike.

I hate stuff like that. And when people who ask to me credit their account just cause without any reason. I play dumb and say their bills are valid and they give me that speech talking about how greedy they are and how I should feel bad for them.

Doesn't bug me too much anymore but people who say mash instead of push. "Let me mash the button"

People who say Warshington instead of the correct Washington (is that political correctness?). Or, they warsh their hands, they should wash their mouths!

People driving big, off-road 4X4 SUV/pickup trucks who slow down to 0.5 mph to go over speed bumps.

Ha, yes. That and flying around the parking lot at ridiculous speeds, only slowing down to a crawl for speed bumps. Point: missed!

Look, people, if I can drive over speed bumps without slowing down in my tiny, low-to-the-ground (though not "lowered") car, you look pretty stupid doing so in your F250.

People who ask me what something is worth and then proceed to tell me they need $xx for the item before I answer. I just now say that it's worth $xx, perhaps a bit more.

PEA-can not pa-CON.

Martha Stewart's pronunciation of Vidalia is just sad.

And I have no idea why the conjugation of the word, to see, has become a lost art.

Crappie, not croppy! (it's a fish..and it sounds like crap!)
Martha Stewart....for just being Martha Stewart
Atlanta Drivers....WTF did they get their license?

It's more like Peh-khan. Con is much too harsh.

mirrors!

People that say they feel nauseous.

In Texas, we say Pea Con.

Folks with delicate sensibilities who aren't sure whether they threw up in their mouth, and if so, whether it was only a little.

If we're focusing on use of English, I wince at "is comprised of," e.g. The wheel is comprised of spokes, a hub, and a rim.

The common gaffe of "sneak peak" in place of "sneak peek" gets me too.

But NOTHING can top the use of "break" in place of "brake," and I've never seen anywhere that beats BikeForums for sheer number of offenders. "Help, my breaks rub," etc etc.

People who say BOO fay instead of Buff fay at an all you can eat place.

....and people who fly past me and cut me off in a Prius. I mean DAHECK!! A PRIUS!! I thought people in a Prius were the ones who want to conserve and drive at least the speed limit. Geeze maneeze.

Eating at a boofay, buffet, of buf fay.

People who do not understand that the ball gag makes it impossible to understand their pleas.

The dental hygenist trying to have a conversation with you when he/she's digging around in your mouth or using that hose that sucks all the spit out.

The cop asking if I know why he pulled me over. I learned not to tell them about the body in the trunk.
