Around here people say "idear" instead of "idea."

 

[Blue Skys]

"I was like" or just like in general if it is used too frequently. I hate the word like...

There are a bunch more but I'll keep it to one.

greenfamilyfarms, I always thought "idear" was a northeast way of speaking. DH used to say that until I informed him that "idee" is the proper pronunciation. (I'm joking, we say idea.) lau.

 

[Judy]

NUCULAR instead of nuclear, and RELATOR instead of realtor.

When I say "mutt," I do so with affection. I prefer mixed breed dogs and will probably have mixed breed chickens -- why spend money to separate them -- more fun to see what comes out --

i did that to my wife once. she laid something out and asked me to "unthaw" it. i knew she meant for me to put it in the microwave but i stuck it back in the freezer. she failed to see the humor just like when i set the clocks forward and told her i hadn't done it yet.

Oh my! I bet she wasn't laughing! The clock thing sounds like something my DH would do!

This is a fun thread! Thanks for starting it!

I hate it when people say, 'how come' or 'why come'. It is how and why, no comes involved!

 

[scbatz33]

"wool" instead of "well" - my kids do this ALL the time - wool is for sheep!!!

"Birtday" or "birfday" - It's BirTHday

oh, and "grow your business" I find this term annoyingly pretentious. Don't know why, I just do.
