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?

DH says "zero degrees"

They may say Aldis in Ireland but they also say, e.g. 20 Euro (not Euros!)

My OH physically can not say some words that have an n and an m, for example for terminate he will say 'ternimate' and for some bizarre reason, he can NOT say Poirot. Not that we often discuss Poirot, it came up once and I had to teach him how to say it, he just kept saying 'prrruaro' and I was infuriated, he decided to say it in to the sky remote until it recognised what he was saying, it took about 178 tries, me sat there seething and him saying "no no, I'm going to get this"

I used to work with someone who said grasp the metal. Not nettle. I used to wince every time.

Another colleague often goes to Wivaspoons after work. It's not the v for th that irritates me because that's how some people speak but ffs it's Wetherspoons. E not fucking I!

My favourite is years ago I was at a friend's for a dinner party. We were laying the table and she asked me to pass her the candlestick holders.

She called long candles candlesticks. As they were stick shaped candles. And therefore the thing you put your candlestick in was a candlestick holder.

To all intensive purposes, yanbu

YA all BVU. Its a mute point.

DH pronounces military mil-i-tarey instead of militry. Drives me bonkers, especially as he is ex-militry!

Our Sky Q remote doesn't understand dh's accent at all

DH says "zero degrees"

Is that wrong?

Part of the course...…….. Ugghhh

Not everyone can get phrases correct though can they? I suppose its horses fuck horses.

Balling my eyes out now. 😢

Was it a "shabby sheik" Chester Draws?

I saw that one recently on FB marketplace

One that is getting increasingly common - even on the BBC - - is the "amount of people" who don't know the difference between "amount" and "number".

And "I was stood" and "He was "sat" FFS

A couple of weeks ago I saw a chabby chick piece of furniture. 🙄

v or f instead of 'th'

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrg

You have got to be kidding me with 'shabby sheik'?

Another one: BURGULRY. It's burglary...……...

A friend of mine actually types 'he's' instead of his and it honestly makes my soul cry out in pain

And choices.
You have one choice, two ( or more ) options.
You don’t have two choices.

For all intensive purposes, he's right. Ha.

You don't have to be able to say 'origins' to be leader of the free world but, you know, it helps. Donald Chump during a talk about the Mueller Report tried three times to say “origins” and it came out as “oranges” each time. Pratt...…...

I've noticed recently that more and more people say anythinK and somethinK. And it grates my cheese when people say "are" instead of "our" and "then" instead of "than"!!

There needs to be reeper cushions

Does he say foot stall as well?
