To shout FFS it’s bolognese!!!

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

AIBU?!

What phrases piss you off??!!

Imagine giving a shit

Dave Gorman did a "Modern Life is Goodish" where he covered misheard words that get backfilled into phrases

Yes! Here are my faves:

Doggy Dog World
Right from the gecko
Escape goat
A bowl in a china shop

It's called an eggcorn

egg·corn
/ˈeɡkôrn/Submit
noun
a word or phrase that results from a mishearing or misinterpretation of another, an element of the original being substituted for one that sounds very similar or identical (e.g. tow the line instead of toe the line ).

You'd hate us OP. We call Parmesan cheese "Farmers-Bum Cheese" in our family 😂👍

Have done since we were tiny. I blame my mother!

I see spag bowl on a fb slow cooker page. I can't say it gives me rage, but I have to stop myself letting them know it's wrong.
In fact most spelling mistakes on Facebook I want to tell them. It wouldn't go down too well so I don't but I have hidden a few pages and people just because the spelling is constantly awful.

They are most definitely saying “bowl” as it’s written clear as day.

Wtf has a crossiant got to do with it?!

I don’t necessarily “give a shit” it was just a general wondering this morning

Oh, and if you “don’t give a shit” scroll past

In our house spag bog is because my parents were taking the piss out of spag bol, back in the eighties and it stuck!

Like a bowl in a china shop?!🤣

First OED mention of "spag bol" is from 1970 :)

Can imagine people calling it "spag bowl" though, like a salad bowl etc.
Like we say "an orange" instead of "a norange" - what idiots, eh? :)

I love it. The evolution of language is fascinating.

The winner is:
...right from the gecko!!!!

Fabulous stuff😂

Tow the line is wrong but, in its defence, it does make a kind of sense. Lol

It's 'bog' in this house. Spag for the pasta, and bog is the mince/sauce part. So you may request extra 'bog' for your pasta. I don't really care cause it's a complete bastardisation on anything that may be remotely like a traditional Italian meal...so I think corrupted the name is fair game!

I din’t think it’s about the evolution of language at all. It’s about ignorance.

"... gives me the rage."

Utter nonsense.

...don’t

And yes, it is an Fab name.

And yes, it is an egg corn. Fab name.

Grrrr

eggcorn

Ignorance plays a huge role in the evolution of language! It really did use to be a norange, until people got it mixed up. When you see people wisely telling you how to use words correctly, it's hilarious when you realise that what they are preaching would have been considered complete codswallop a century earlier.

My husband calls it 'spag bog', sometimes just 'bog'. Not very nice really, is it? Someone ought to tell him, maybe all of you.

Spag bol is OK (by comparison to the above). While we are at it, I absolutely love the meal! Could eat it most days.

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

er, men who can't cook definitely can't cook spag bol!

Unless you mean they just open a jar of bolgnese sauce?

But real spag bol, does not involve jars.

We call it red pasta in this house as whatever i make it isn't bolognese

We went with Spag Bollox for a few years!

It’s spag bol. Honestly the idiocy of some people!

Plebs
It’s ragu with parpadelle
