Tobor7 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:27 pm     Jason seems to speak well. I'll bet his parents corrected him at every turn. |
Willsfan | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:35 pm     LOL Cathie I remember that commercial. It even made me wince. BTW I speak Okie with an east Texas accent. (or so I've been told) Everybody here says, "Where you at?" Instead of, "Where are you? I admit I've caught myself doing it too. |
Watching2 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:35 pm     ROFL!!!!!!! I love how this board progressed to being so hysterically funny!!!!!! You'ins shore dun crackt me op!!!! LMAOOOOOO Thanks so much for the laughs!!!!!! It's been a loooooong day! Oh yeah Costa, I occasionally get my long hair caught in the hair dryer too. Naaaaaaaaaaasty!!!! I'm not so sure if we're actually "supposed" to say Ra-cha-cha or if it's just a joke name for our city. Oh get this.... Lisa grew up in the town of Gates Chili. Now if you think that's pronounced like the food or the country.... you'd be wrong. It's Chi-LIE!!! I live in Greece, but the climate is nothing like the island. Dang!! In western NY we drink "pop" but not in eastern NY - It's soda. If you want to be really safe you can say soda pop, but then you'd sorta sound like a hick. ROFL And how could I have forgotten WARSHED and SEEN .... acccck... I seen my husband warshed the car and then it rained! I shoulda taken a pitcher of it when the sun was out. hehehe I love the silliness here. |
Phatcat | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:51 pm     Just heard the prez on ABC Nightline say new-key-lar weapons. LOL Hate to hear realtors say real-a-tors. Check out bushisms.com |
Chyang | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:13 pm     Ohm, I tripped in here by mistake. This is not a thread for a Chinese person who had spent time in more than a dozen states(but mostly TX and NY), I am forever miss-pronouncing or misunderstanding words/things, just use your imagination.... Somewhere in NYC, a hotdog vender is probably still telling story about someone insisted on having lots of mustache on that dog! |
Cathie | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:30 pm     Gosh dang it, Chyang, goin from TX to NY is shure a fur peas down tha rode. I betcha y'all got lots of sturies to tail us... |
Urgrace | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 12:11 am     In Georgia (Jaja) years ago on the radio station the dj would say: Gwan down and git you a new tie and tell 'em ol' Slats Jackson sent ya, ya heah. The new tie was a tire! In a restaurant the waitress asked if you wanted gone peas or blackide peas (garden or black eyed). They also had balled peanuts (boiled). Also, when did the CarribBEan become the CarRIBbean? |
Bernie | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 04:43 am     Doing LFPs tonight, and J teased Amy about leaving the R out of a word, and they had a brief convo about it, and PITCHER was mentioned, re Lisa-and Amy said she said that sometimes too. Just another spooky example of how we talk about things here, and lo and behold, the HG's talk about the same things later. <insert Twilight Zone theme music here>  |
Tobor7 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 04:52 am     Lisa: Is who the Yankees best picture? Dani: Who Yankees best pitcha? Amy: Who yankees? Y'all yankees. Jason: I don't know, I mean I thought before... but now I'm thinking that... well on the other hand it... but when you factor in... what was the question again? Kid can't speak his mind. For everything else, there's Amy. MasterCard -- for people who can say Picture. |
Fanny | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 10:16 am     Tabor7's take on BB3 communication: priceless. |
Flyonthwall | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 10:52 am     This is a such a silly thread you all made me laugh...now I have to tell a funny but true.. My mom has the habit of saying "condom-minium" and "condom-ents" I have fibromyalgia (pro: Fibro-my-al-ga) She continually says FibromyalGEEEEEya. Like it's a party going on!! LOL She's a hoot I "tail" ya! teeheeee Thanks for the laffs! |
Mystery | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 12:04 pm     I was in England a few years ago with friends and when we went to Hampton Court they had a collection of codpieces. My friend misunderstood the tour guide and thought the word was.... well, not "cod." She still calls them this! |
Bernie | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 12:54 pm     Bwahahahaha! You win, Mystery! |
Mystery | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 01:07 pm     She knows what the right word is now, but it made such an impression on her, hearing this genteel English tour guide saying what she THOUGHT she heard, over and over, that she's just stuck on her original word. It IS kind of fitting I guess! |
Bernie | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 03:12 pm     I'm still laughing! I can just imagine it, having toured quite a few stately homes, the Tower of London etc.! And it's funny how the first time we hear a word is the way we tend to always recall it, even when we know better.  |
Tobor7 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:04 pm     From the LF's: "...she (Dani) keeps having to read the rules over, as she is mispronouncing words..." Now we know BB reads this stuff!!!!!! |
Tobor7 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:41 pm     OH (painful long pause) MY (painful long pause) GOD. At this point, I would have a PP&J sandwich shoved down the throat of the next HG that said this during the (long pause) between "OH" and "MY" faster than a.... Argh! They are killing me... it's contagious... Now Dani is infected.... she just said "...took a 'PITCHER' of me..." |
Tabbyking | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 08:55 pm     ooh, cathie, those commercials!! "we had shayuk an bayuk and i hepped" gosh that goes back a long time!! |
Chiparock | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:38 pm     Tobor7, I think "OH (painful long pause) MY (painful long pause) GOD" is awfully reminiscent of Gerri and Amber in Survivor Australia. Made me want to shove Colby's hat or shorts down their throat, until I realized that it would be too much of a luxury food treat .... Had to just sit here and growl. Then when BB3 houseguests started saying it, it came to me in a flash: it's in the scripts for all CBS reality shows! I wouldn't be surprised if CBS has it copyrighted.

Tobor7 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:46 pm     Chiparock--- Last year it was "It'z on" or "Off the hook" but Will made great fun of it. Seems like he was the only one who noticed. This year... (no words to describe) I had to switch the LF's in the middle of Amy's whine days only to get Lisa's "pitcher" a pitcher... my pitcher... butIwahhhhh ahhhh marciahhhhhh wahhhh take a pitcher... rahhhhh wahhhhh marrrrahhhhhhh a good pitcher... aaaaaaaaaaaand now D says "Why he do dat?" And I'm like... |
Flyonthwall | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 09:56 pm     Let me explain it to you Tobor...it's like...well you know when you...like the time they did that thing with the...but it wasn't that it was the other thing, you know what I mean? ..and then well like, sometimes it happens that way, but not like always..but then again it could be...anyway that's why, SO BE IT!! (said in my best Jason voice) |
Tobor7 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 10:25 pm     Fly, you've been doing LF's too long. (LOL) Really, you are too good at that because you do the LF's so well. (Thanks for jumping in here.) If you had to PP it in the LF's it would be: "J has no response." |
Fabnsab | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 01:50 am     How about this one- "the war on terror" has become the "war on tara," like they're in Gone With The Wind or something. I noticed this since day one, half the politicians and anchors say tara for terror, especially Dan Rather and Bush. I assume it may be a southern thing. I have so many others but I won't get into them. I am a spelling freak but I do mispronounce some words wrong and just do it out of habit, knowing it's wrong. I will say this and leave quickly...kindeegarden. How bad is that? I know it is kindergarten but old habits die hard. Ok, start throwing rocks this way. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 02:05 am     I used to say "problably" for a *very* long time. I still mess up prescription and subscription all the time. When I was kid, a food market named Kessel's had a porcine fellow saying, "At Kessel's food mart, *were* with you." It's WEEE'RE I used to say at the tv. I can still see it in my head. |
Bernie | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 02:51 am     Probably not really on topic, but, back in my old home town, the double decker buses had ads painted on them, and for a while there was an ad on the back of quite a few city buses for a brand of pop. It said: Drink T & P Lemonade... [You have to say it out loud, and some adman must have had his leg pulled for creating that one ] |
