FlippingOut Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 people that pronounce both as "bolth" Maybe it's a northeast accent thing, but I don't have it and lots of people do. It's wrong, and weird. Very common thing I noticed while I lived in Michigan. I grew up there but I seemed to be one of the few in my family who did not do this.

rooks Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Haha wow I just got quoted so much. It's definitely not a lisp thing - I know several people who talk perfectly normally, with no impediments, are well educated, and still say "bolth" unintentionally all the time. it's very weird and I do not like it!

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wait, I don't get it? How do YOU pronounce yolk and walk? My wife gives me shit about how I pronounce it (she pronounces it the way I hate). There should be a little bit of an L in there...you know...like the way it's spelled. There is no such thing in the English language as a silent L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then how the hell do you have a little bit of an L in there? There is either an L or no L at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeMoreGlass Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I had a lady at work say "used to could" as in "I can't smell alcohol on him like I used to could"... I remember hearing that joke in a Jeff Foxworthy thing at some point in my life but I've never heard anyone say it...quite disturbing... She also says the phrase "I've never heard tell of that"...and It never used to bother me but anymore I just want to punch her in the face whenever I hear it... Also, for some reason at work everyone thinks "Raisin Bran" is actually "Raisin Brand"...it makes no sense...ITS FUCKING BRAN PEOPLE!!! BRAN!!!!

Bladewillisisdead Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Rgis doesn't really fit the thread but we have a brand of cheese called Belgioso.

rooks Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't stand when people take conversational comments out of context and then quote them in an effort to prove a point that really doesn't need to be made. but, that's probably just me :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 "Where's the flood?" When pants fit. Are these pants capris? Because otherwise, pants should touch your shoes. Shorts might be what you're looking for. 6heart6breaker6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Its been a while but the last time I was told this my pants were touching my shoes, just not the ground. Now most of them do so I forgot about this until Matt reminded me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
