You must be drunk, have a lisp and a mouth full of bacon
ReplyDeleteI realized I had been pronouncing it incorrectly just the other day. I think it sounds better the way I was saying it.
ReplyDeleteI always mix up Prostate and Prostrate. Leads to some mix ups when requesting massages.
ReplyDeleteGoop continues to show the world she is a brainless cunt.
ReplyDeleteTMZ link Compares being bashed on the net to being in war.
She's a fucking brainless bitch. As a mom with 3 boys in the Air Force, one of whom just returned from Qatar, I'd like to personally kick her in the teeth.
DeleteBut how can that be? Just ask her mother, Goops' perfect in every way. We're just jealous posers who wish we were as wonderful as she was.
Delete@GatorGirl. I'll hold your coat and kick her bodyguards in the shins.
Reporter this a.m. called it
ReplyDeleteMAL' efficient
@Melissa. I know this isn't a funny topic, but I was a kid in the Merced area when that bus load of kids from Chowchilla was kidnapped and buried. We laughed so loud over all the reporters trying to pronounce Chowchilla. Chow-chill-ah. Not Chi-chee-ah.
DeleteTehachapi Pass is basically impossible for me to say.
ReplyDeleteta-hatch-ah-pea.
Delete@ Gayeld see the thing is I know how it should be pronounced, but when I attempt to say it my mouth just will not cooperate. Thankfully I can just say "the Grapevine" and most California people know what I mean.
Delete@Riven. For me it's always hardest when the word is in front of me. My brain can't always make the connect between how it sounds and how it looks. Especially all those Spanish and Indian places around CA.
DeleteThink of a hatchet.
DeletePeter picked a peck of pickled peppers
ReplyDeleteHmm, I guess I've been pronouncing it Mal-IF-icent when it should be Mal-EFF-icent?
ReplyDeleteMal
ReplyDeleteeh

Enty I hope you got your spider bite medically checked out. If your tongue is numb, and brain function impaired I suggest you see an acupuncturist stat
ReplyDeleteI don't care how it's pronounced. Angie freaks me out (not in a good way) whenever I see her in it. Two hours of that would likely kill me
ReplyDeleteI'm black so the word ASK doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
ReplyDelete;^)
Fancyscreenname : where I come from, it's aks. And we're mostly whiteys.
Delete@procrastibator
Deletesame here (axe).lol
Not ME though...
I refuse to watch this movie.
ReplyDeleteShe was my favorite villain & Angie just ruined my childhood memories.
Made-up words are always the worst to pronounce.
ReplyDelete@Fancy HA!
ReplyDeleteHard for Brad Pitt too since getting punched
ReplyDelete@Orvilla. *snort*
DeleteWahooHubby and I were just talking about this two days ago...I can't say "anonymity"... it comes out annoniminity or some garbled mess no matter how hard I try. He thought is was cute. Still kinda struggle with "musician"...kinda comes out as magician.
ReplyDeleteHubby can't say ridiculous or Kanye. Lol
Deleteidk I think she is perfect for Maleficent.......fits her quite nicely
ReplyDeleteMy friend from England insists I pronounce aluminum wrong. She says it's al-YOU-min-eeum instead of ah-loo-min-um.
ReplyDelete@Seven. She's wrong. ;-Þ
DeleteLOL @ Fancy. "Lemme axe you a question."
ReplyDeleteI hate the word Chipotle.ijs
ReplyDeleteI lime the food there tho. - to annoy my friend I call it
Delete"Chip ol tee" (rather than Chi pote lay" )
I just gotta say it...GatorGirl, you and your sons fucking rock. May they always be kept safe and out of harm's way.
ReplyDeleteGayeld's got your coat, but I'll hold your earrings when you pull 'em out.
Inauguration. Cannot, for the life of me, pronounce it correctly.
ReplyDeleteTuolumne. Two-wall-ah-me. Ygnacio. Ig-nah-see-oh. Visalia. Vy-sail-ya.
Inauguration. In-augerat...In-ah-ger...Swearing-In-Ceremony.
Gywneth Paltrow is a fucking moron. I cannot believe the shit she spews out of her mouth!! Right after Memorial Day too. She's such a heartless, self-centered person. I can't imagine her loving anyone but herself.
ReplyDeleteYOgurt vs yoGurt. Always confusing in the skippy home.
ReplyDeleteIt's REAL-TOR. Not REAL-A-TOR. Drives me NUTS. Especially when I hear REALTORS mispronounce it.
ReplyDeleteMy daaghter still says callerpitar . Love it
ReplyDeleteNot if you worked for Disney for 15 years.
ReplyDeleteI get celebs names wrong in conversations all the time:
ReplyDeleteNaya Rivera - Naya Riviera.
Irina Shayk - Irina Shake.
Gwyneth Paltrow - Bitch.
Ok, that last one might actually be quite apt.
LOL Fancy..I grew up in the south and AXE was used a lot along with Lie-berry..
ReplyDeleteOh Goop..Just STFU and you might make it another day.
God punished me for being one of those people who would always correct someone's pronunciation. After my stroke, I have trouble getting certain syllables to roll off the tongue and I am always mispronouncing words now.
ReplyDeleteKarma is hard, Y'all
For me it's "wheel barrel".
ReplyDeleteRear barrow.
Actually kind of works in the context I use it.
@Gayeld The most butchered Central Valley towns I've heard are Visalia and Tulare
ReplyDelete@Nicole. Add Chowchilla and I'd say you've got the top three. Although, I've heard people pronounce Modesto and Merced wrong too.
DeleteI keep pronouncing vegetables as cheeseburgers.
ReplyDeleteI say pizza instead of fruit. I blame it on a lisp.
I'm the same @sugarbread I try to pronounce water but instead I say beer!!
ReplyDeleteMale-Fish-ent. That's the way I pronounced it.
ReplyDeleteWho named that stupid character anyway?
ReplyDeleteSignal/single. Prostate/prostrate. Abdominal/abominable. My brain knows the difference but my mouth doesn't.
ReplyDeleteLeft/right. My mouth knows the difference but my brain doesn't.
I have a friend that can't pronounce toilet.
ReplyDeleteTer-lit. Lol
DeleteOMG that sounds like my FIL, Meanie!
DeleteWindow=winder
Dishes=deeshes
Fish=feesh
Wash=warsh
Every time, I'd interrupt with, "Spell that!"
It never happened... Just got me the stink eye.
I hope to, one day, correctly pronounce superfluous. Not betting on it, but a chick can dream.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum can't say 'VietNAmese' she says 'Vietnese'....makes me giggle...every...time...
ReplyDelete@Seven, aluminum was one of mine, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing impaired and had years of speech therapy but some words...grrr!
That must have been doubly interesting when you were drinking, Meanie .-)
ReplyDeleteIt was very inner-resting! :D
ReplyDeleteLow Key, your FIL sounds like some of the folks from Mom's side: Allegheny mountains!
@Meanie-Appalachian region of Southeast Ohio. Must be a mountain folk thang!
DeleteMy SO's dad from Iowa says "Warshington", cracks me up every time.
ReplyDeleteOT:
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK RANGERS BABY!!
*exits topic*
I can say it but I totally don't understand who they are marketing this movie to. No way my niece or nephews are going to go see it because it will scare the bejesus out of them, they are first grade, kindergarten. Don't think teens will care, or tweens for that matter. Wonder if Angie's adult fans will care enough about her to go see a fairy tale..she herself said her kid had to be in it because all the other child actors were scared to death of her. The christians aren't going to be loading their kids up to see a story about a witch. I can't figure out what market they are going for but if they are trying for the "Frozen" demographic I think they are misguided.

ReplyDeleteIchabod- good thoughts. Perhaps the twilight/ goth crowd?
Delete@Seven, you and your English friend are both correct; the words are spelled differently.
ReplyDeleteIt's aluminum in the US and aluminium in the UK.
The Wikipedia entry has an etymology section that goes into detail if you're interested.
Anyway, that's the least of my worries; the thing that REALLY gets me is how Brits pronounce sixth as sickth. I loathe that (mis)pronunciation.
Whinge for whine is the one that gets me... WTF Brits? ;)
