I'll take your Chester draws and I'll raise you a...

Wallah! It's the first time I've seen voilà written this way. But when I think about it, it seems like a really obvious thing to do so I wonder how common it is.
Is it a "thing" that I've just missed before now?

Oh is it Parmesan?

I used to think it was Chester drawers. I know, I struggle to sleep at night because of it.

Something I can't stand is "could care less". That means you do care because it's possible for you to care less than you already do! Arrgh!!!!!

@OpalBerry

the snobby bitches on mumsnet! Well that's the popcorn kettle black.

One thing that always tickles me, (and I am amazed no-one has said this yet,) is when people write on a memoriam for someone who has died, 'you are now with the angles.'

I have seen this written soooooo many times now!

I saw wallah everyday lol. Its I swear to God in Arabic

But the classic one is chester draws. And discusting.

@Salome61

Anyone else know people who say chimley instead of chimney?

Yeah, and hospikal, and sumberine.

@ChrisOnTheBeach I see so much of this on Facebook. Obviously I don't say anything, but I always get an image of the deceased person in heaven surrounded by various obscure shapes. It's not funny in the least but it's the image I get.

Acute or obtuse?

@Benjispruce3

Oh is it Parmesan?

bingo! I think because the waiter asks permission before grating it over your risotto or whatever?

@Salome61

Ambliance too

Someone once told me they are struggling with their renteries. She meant rent arrears.

Love these. My fave today was someone on a local site selling an inflatable hot tub which was in good condition ‘except for a small puncher’.

I saw an estate agent one, the house had a ' gallery kitchen '

@PeterOhanrahahanrahan

Damp squid. I've known people who believe it's "damp squid", maybe because it's a better visual image than the actual phrase. I'm sure a couple of weeks ago I heard a R4 presenter say "damp squid".

This one’s driving me mad, I can’t work out what damp squid is!

I saw ‘air to the throne’ written once and mused that it was a regal passing of wind.

I accidentally once told my husband to get the Durex paint when I meant Dulux.

Damp squib

@Nothappyland it should be damp squib. A squib is an unremarkable explosion/firework hence the meaning being a bit of an anticlimax.

And..... along with it, you sometimes see 'U shud not ov bin taken.'

puncher!

@Nothappyland It should be 'damp squib' not 'damp squid'

A squib is a type of explosive. If damp, it won't go off so would deliver a disappointing anti-climax and be a let down if you were expecting an explosion.

@MistySkiesAfterRain

I always thought it was alum key. You know made of aluminium, who the heck is allen anyway 😂

In my favourite book "A man called Ove" the main character is appalled when someone else refers to it as an Eileen key 🙂

PS my husband is Allen, I'm always asking him where his keys are

Benji parmesan?

Brought instead of bought 😑 Not sure if it’s a regional thing but I see it on here a lot.

I get annoyed by a relative that writes “dident” and “nextd”
