Aibu to start to hate the word methinks. Used in Facebook status updates too frequently by people who can't spell it.

my least favourite phrase is 'Get IN!' followed by fist pulled toward waist...

Yes! I was at the police station with a teenager being charged and the police officer did that after she pronounced the full chemical name for the drug he was arrested for right.

I had a real problem the other day with a word. I normally get close and let spell-checker correct me, but I was so far from this word it couldn't even guess what I wanted to say.

What are those little Irish dwarf people called again? Capricorns?

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 04/12/2014 15:28

Leprechauns?

TiggyD · 04/12/2014 15:31

They're the buggers! Lepricorns? Lepperquorns? Whatever!

Keep winging if you really have too.

Puppy - how odd but I work someone who says both of these things???

puppy123 · 04/12/2014 15:59

They were at two different jobs so there must be more than one of them...oh dear.

Didactylos, oh tempura. oh morays...
Brilliant!
The one that drives me nuts is 'the hoi polloi' with the superfluous 'the'.

Puppy I have a colleague who says those two too.

She also says mummycuddled for mollycoddled and buys clothes from Mataland.

A couple of weeks ago she was telling me about a film she'd seen about a Luigi board. Hmm Grin

Why not leave facebox?

Discopanda · 04/12/2014 18:06

These examples are making my face twitch. Please, please, please do not allow the girl who has 'finaly finnished' her teacher training teach!
