It’s another chester draws thread...

[OccasionalNachos]

I have just discovered that my DP of 11 years - so far always seemed like a fairly decent adult man - says ‘Chester drawers’. Specifically, I was asking him where some paperwork was and he said ‘in the top Chester drawers in the spare room’

This has never happened before.

AIBU to leave?

I SAY Chester Drawers but I write Chest of Drawers. Could it be the same with your DH?

Killyneeve was the prequel to Ballykillyneeve starring James Nesbitt and Mrs Doyle.

I live not far from a bar called Oniro. That's the name of the place, it means 'dream' in Greek. So simple? Noo, it now gets called O'Niros like it's a fucking Irish pub. Ffs

I’m noticing that people round here (south east seaside town) will say we’re instead of we’ll, so we’re be alright instead of we’ll be alright, also pacifically instead of specifically drives me mad.

My mum used to say dressing gownd for dressing gown, and my brother used to call it a dressing down

An ex used to like visiting churches and talking about the architecture etc using big long words. I think it made him feel intelligent.

He kept on about a 'sep pull kerr ree' and I had no idea what he was on about. Turned out it was sepulchre.

The deal breaker was when he texted to say he was on root to my house though. He had to go.

I've noticed more people saying "brought" when they mean bought lately.

Why?

"I brought a new bag at Top Shop today"

NO!!!!!

Lor instead of Law - Lor abiding citizen, Lor Courts, he broke the lor - it's Law Abiding Citizen, Law Courts, he broke the Law, LAW LAW LAW, there is no R in it! sheesh

YABU if he said "chest o'drawers" (sounds like Chester drawers)

YANBU if he actually wrote "chester drawers"

I should of went instead of I should have gone. Substituting went for gone seems to be very popular on here. ☹️

@jimmyhill I hope you did that just for someone to point out the random H in your "whacky"

@AlexaAmbidextra you're another one aren't you? Of? Fucking of? Really?

Have. Not of. Jesus wept

I don't really think you should LTB but you do sound like you need some restbite

Someone tried to argue with me on here years ago that is was draws, not drawers. I couldn't even be bothered to reply.

Since I moved to Australia I've had to get less fussy about things. For example, the sports commentators here will say "Oh he's a bit ginger!" as a competitor tries to get up after a fall.

"A bit ginger" They mean he's getting up gingerly!

They also call a car accident "a bingle"

A fucking bingle! It means a small or non-serious crash.

There are loads of others!

Depends. Did he say Chester Drawers or Chester Draws?

That’ll learn them

I like to think that my username is a kind of public service announcement to the brought brigade

I once had an ex who said "that's a pretty." Took me a minute to realise that there wasn't a word missing but that he meant that's a pity he didn't last long after that!

It sounds like a gawjuss Chester draws though....

I got a message from my partner to meet me at Made of Ale tube station. In his defence he has severe dyslexia, but this made me laugh.

I knew someone who said 'out of zinc' And 'pacifically'

Draw and drawer
Law and lor

All sound the same in my accent. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My DH used to pronounce UCAS (yoo-kas) as UKK-ASS - on porpoise to annoy me mostly

My Dh says 'cuttle-ree' instead of cutlery and it makes me want to do all kinds of ragey things.

The entire of him family call suncream Suntan cream and considering they are otherwise nice, respectable people it makes me feel like I'm on the set of shameless. It's SUNCREAM dammit.

Best friend keeps saying ‘buzz’. It’s a fucking BUS, love!

She’s doing it on purpose now though!!
