To shout FFS it’s bolognese!!!

[Booksandwine80]

There seems to be a trend for people calling spaghetti bolognese “spag bowl”......gives me the rage

AIBU?!

What phrases piss you off??!!

It's definitely a thing. I don't think it's autocorrect, I think some people think it's called Spag Bowl, rather than Bol.

It's a bit like Chester Draws on FB selling pages....

They also say mewlk instead of milk. Not a pleasant accent.

OP, what about croissant, or pain au chocolate?

Or don't you mind Anglicised bastardisations, just the contractions?

shotsfired point of information, I believe what you are writing is in fact a mock French accent, not a mock Italian accent. Hth.

Agree that mac and cheese to describe macaroni cheese is an abomination, and not even accurate. There is no and in macaroni cheese, and anyway the macaroni element and the cheese element are combined into one before serving , they are not separate entities requiring an and to link them.

To further elucidate, if sausages and mashed potatoes were combined into one heap that could never be separated into their constituent parts then it would be fine to call it bangersmash, but they are separate, so they need the and ie bangers and mash, macaroni cheese on the other hand is not separatable (?) the macaroni and the cheese are not served in different plate spaces therefore it is not a something and something dish it is a something something dish.

Spag bog here.

I also only know it as Spag Bol, no such thing as Spag Bowl I think the OP has misheard or someone mispronounced it.

In any case, it's vile stuff so there is no reason to call it anything.

I am partial to a bit of Mac n Cheese though

It’s a bit like lay miz
Some people struggle to pronounce such difficult long foreign words

Spag bog sounds revolting. Spag Bol, not bothered by that but don't eat it anyway.

As does miwk or meawk instead of milk.

It literally doesn’t bother me either which way.

We still say Pee-azz in this house for pizza cos our 7 year old used to call it that when he was 3

We say Spag Bol.

We also say LasAGGnia with Dalek bread as that what my dcs called it.

We also say Bangers and Mash. Is that irritating too? Or should I say Farmshop sausages served with mashed up potatoes and butter?

Yeah spag bowl is a deliberate thing because people here spag bol pronounced that way and assume it's the word bowl.

I'm not sure it's a recent thing. My mates and I were having spag bol nights when I was in my twenties - thirty years ago. It was a cheap way of getting together - you made a big pan of the stuff and everyone piled over with bottles of crap wine.
All of us were perfectly capable of pronouncing Spaghetti Bolognaise had we needed to (for those PP who have suggested otherwise) and no-one gave two hoots about the abbreviation.

YES!!!!!! YANBU!

I see it on Facebook.. by people who haven't realised 'spag bol' is short for 'spaghetti bolognese' and think its 'spag bowl' and it makes me unspeakably stabby and rage filled.

The "bowl" thing must have come about from people mishearing "BOL"

If you say BOL in a London accent it does sound a bit like bowl.

Weebarra that's just disgusting though. Why would anyone use "bog" to describe a meal!??

We call it spag bol,

Yet it's served with lingiuni in our house,

It's just an innocuous expression. Everyone knows what is being referred to.

Spag bollocks here

"It's what men do who can't cook"

Wouldn't that be toast?

I just say I'm having "pasta and sauce" for dinner

I get irrationaly annoyed when I hear the American 'I've made spaghetti', 'let's have spaghetti', 'my Mom makes the best spaghetti'

I KNOW that they mean spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, so why have they reduced it to just the pasta type?! Do they never have spaghetti carbonara, or marinara, or any other sauce on spaghetti?!

(I'm Team Spag Bol)

OP:
You are wrong. They are saying “spag bol” which - if you look carefully - is an abbreviation.

My phone autocorrects it to 'slag bol'

It's an apocope.

Other example that seems to have fallen out of popular use: des res for posh house (desirable residence).

I see it on Facebook.. by people who haven't realised 'spag bol' is short for 'spaghetti bolognese' and think its 'spag bowl' and it makes me unspeakably stabby and rage filled.

Dave Gorman did a "Modern Life is Goodish" where he covered misheard words that get backfilled into phrases. Ilk and Elk were confused, so he showed a tweet criticising comedians like "Dave Gorman and his elk". I vaguely recall some people also got "catphrase" and "catchphrase" mixed up.

"Doggy dog world" also sticks ....

Moist

They are very definitely not saying “bowl”.
