Most stupid mispronunciations and just weird words people say

[HumanDoing]

Them instead of those - them shoes
Pacific instead of specific
Should of instead of should have
Agreemence and agreeance instead of agreement
Chorizmo instead of charisma (the guy at work actually said it, pronounced it like a sausage)

@Mmhmmn

I hate it as well. It's jab ffs.

Too bad it's a jag. Hate away and stay away from Scotland. Ffs.

How much time have you spent in Scotland?

@WibblyWobblyTimeyWimeyStuff Every time DH and I hear 'I'm not gonna lie' on TV we now recite 'I'm not gonna lie, I can't lie, 100%, literally'

We might watch too much trash TV.

Westminister instead of Westminster

Jag is in standard usage in Scotland. You'd very rarely hear jab being used here.

It's a perfectly valid term, used not just by your average person on the street but by newsreaders and politicians here.

We don't really care if some people outwith Scotland hate it.

Are 'yous' all going to the party 🤦‍♀️

We should 'of' told you 🤦‍♀️

Yep

We have flu jags, Covid jags, MMR jags, 6 week baby jags, tetanus jags.

All the usual ones, plus mute point.

"Incidencies" instead of either incidents or instances.

And jaggy nettles!

That's right isn't it?
Fo-catch-a

Am I getting this right? You're saying the word 'draws' and the word 'drawers' are pronounced differently?

But you're saying that saying CLOSE instead of CLOTHES is OK... as they both (according to you) sound exactly the same?

You know you're wrong on both counts yeah?

My DM pronounces skeleton "skellington", says the g in bolognaise and a dressing gown is a "dressing gownd". Had to work very hard as a young adult to say those words properly after so many years of hearing them said wrong!

A lot of people say “risk adverse” instead of “averse”. I can sort of see why they think that might be right, given the possibility of an adverse outcome when you take a risk.

I have a colleague who often talks about “donkeys of years ago”.

Fo-catch-a is right, but they say fock-a-chia

Oh ... vertigo to rhyme with impetigo.

I don't understand.
It's vert-i-go and im-pe-ty-go no?

President instead or Precedent
Commiserate instead of Commemorate on Armistice Day

With the stress on “chia”? Foc-a-CHIA?

You've just made me realise I do this! What a cunt I am.

Somethink or Suthink for something and the one my Ddad used to say: sangwitch for sandwich. He was Scottish though so maybe a regional thing. Lots of these are just regional accents / local words though surely? Be a bit of a shame to lose them.

Yea. The poster was saying that in her medical school they said “ver-tye-go” and it was weird.

Sanwidge / sangwidge (sandwich)
Eggsit (exit)
Fine toothcomb (fine-toothed comb)
Arks (ask)
Brang / brung (brought)
”itched a scratch” (scratched an itch)

Another one.

“I could care less” instead of couldn’t care less.

It's Scottish. We get our 'jags' up here. A nettle or wasp sting is all "'jaggy' too.

Not quite, emphasis on fock (like meet the fockers)
