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?

When you located the “Chester draws” did you “sea” the papers?

These are rediculous. No-one seems to have learned people to read or borrowed them a book.

I hate it when people say "B and Ms" "Asda's" or they borrowed me money/ an item. No you borrowed it they lent it.

My husband says "orror" instead of "horror"

My DD used to call a forehead a forch head

My husband itches his (whatever body part) instead of scratches the offending itch.
He used to say, "Remember me to do XXXX" instead of remind and "Mind when we went shopping last week?...." instead of remember. He said he'll learn the kids how to play the guitar and so on.
It's taken 15 years but remember and remind/mind are now in their proper place.... mostly. He still comes out with the utterly infuriating "learning someone something" shite though. And specific is still pacific.

My husband is an intelligent man but he cannot say Birmingham. He says Bergenham. It's not just a tongue twister that he can't physically say. He actually believes this is how it's pronounced. Infuriating.

I had an ex who commented on my curbs frequently (he meant curves)
You should LTB and make sure he takes his "chester draws " with him =)

But hasn’t he ever seen it written down, SignedUp?

I hate it when people say "B and Ms" "Asda's"

Oh god, yes! Even worse if the name already ends with an ‘s’, and then they tack an extra one on.

‘Shall we go Nandos’s?’

See also, missing ‘to’.

I hate 'seen' instead of 'saw', as in "she was excited to get Star of the Week in assembly but even more excited when she seen us in the audience".
Also, "can I lend that book of yours?".
"No, you can borrow it, I'll do the lending".
Also, "Can you learn me that?
"No, but I'll teach you how".

@Tolleshunt. Half of Ireland say Lidls instead of Lidl. It fills me with rage.

The worst ever is someone saying "can you BORROW me that" instead of LEND!

Yes! Asdas or Bootses! My friend calls Matalan ‘Mataland,’ Home and Bargains’ and ‘rubbige’ instead of ‘rubbish’

And the MN favourite ‘loose’ instead of ‘lose’

Actcherlie, if yow leave in the black cunteree you' se roit

My friend says her brother lives in Chicargo.

@jebuschristchoclatebar I have noticed that in Ireland also .Igot that at Aldis or Lidls.Drives me scatty.

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

CrustyCrab. You are joking I hope (hmm). I was giving an example of something I see many times on here. Including the use of of for have.

Schubbins how else does one pronounce Chicago? I say it as your friend does...to rhyme with Ch Far-go

Chic ah go

Loaf yes, like that.

My DH says “retarded” instead of “retired”, despite me correctly him each time. English is his second language, but...

There is no 'R' in Chi ca go.

*correcting!

I should shut up now...

Tolles this is the exact argument we have every time. I write it down for him. I find it written online. He still insists on pronouncing it Bergenham. I'm getting my ducks in a row...

Schnubbins no....does your friend actually SAY the r? As in Chicaarrrrgo? Like a bad American accent?
