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?

A shop near me has a big sign outside saying it sells 'Stationary'. Imagine that.

Nucular.

Febuary.

My sister says Whore's doors.

I've told her it's French for starters and tried to teach her how to say it,but she's happy with her Whore's doors.

When did it start to be nucilar instead of nuclear?

I suppose now that everyone on the BBC no longer uses "go", and says "head" instead (head to the shops, head down the road, head into the building) that's a lost cause. I still want to tell them to head to hell, though.

I cannot send one of my colleagues an email on a Friday because it is her none working day.

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

I'm afraid not.

In fact if you do a search on facebook marketplace it brings up quite a few so it's not an isolated incident!

I was in a church today. The sermon was about somethink from the Book of Ax.

TooManyPaws · 14/07/2019 17:55

Is he acquainted with Laura Norder?

NoTheresa · 14/07/2019 18:01

Book of Ax? Dear God...

I have a friend who says 'could of' and it drives me crazy!!!!

Pupil at school wrote a story featuring a 'deftifying leap'

I see a lot of sell/sale confusion. "For sell" and "I want to sale my bike"

My husband says “heighth” but it’s an American thing. They all do that here. He also says “Dizzernee” for Disney.

I can’t stand it when people say “I could care less”. No, no, no! You “couldn’t care less” is what you mean to say.

After working with a colleague for over 4 years I found out they thought the phrase was "tender hooks" Grin

He said something like "come on tonks, I'm on tender hooks waiting to find out!"

overnightangel · 14/07/2019 18:19

Another one here who has to suffer stories of the mythical land of “Mataland”.

Also a colleague says “Hospical” instead of Hospital Confused

My dad’s pronunciation of “hay fever” drives me crackers, he puts all the emphasis on the start of “FEEEE-vet”, as in
“How’s your hay-FEEEEEver”?

Well I’m sneezing my tits off (wherein lies your answer, surely?) which is already annoying enough without you boiling my piss by saying it like that

One of my in-laws asked my youngest if he was excited to go to "Bucklins" in a few weeks.

BUTLINS FFS.

I didn't say anything but it did make me twitch.

nobeer · 14/07/2019 18:24

@Colourfulest surely the verb is pronounce not pronounciate or pronunciate? Or have I misunderstood?

firstimemamma · 14/07/2019 18:24

I used to have a friend who would put 'of cause' in texts instead of 'of course' Hmm
