to think someone should know doggy dog makes no sense?

[Juells]

Heard someone (on TV) using this yesterday. "It's a doggy dog world". Why do people think this means anything?

Later (think it was on Antiques Road Trip) someone said they were thinking of changing tact.

I used to work with a woman who was very ‘pacific’ about things.

My darling husband recently advertised that we were selling a "Chester draws".

I don't know how we can move on from this. Who am I even married to??

The world is your lobster

This is my favourite thread of the week, thank you all for making me laugh!

@Bravelurker I've spent the last five minutes doing my yorkshire accent saying "parcel parcel"

Worked in an office once where someone was discussing the rocky relationship a colleague had with a client: "He hasn't exactly enamelled himself with them"

This thread is great. I agree that it probably down to people not reading much. I am not a grammar or spelling expert but I did spend my childhood reading.

I have read a lot of these errors (usually on facebook) but can't think of any just now.

'Jester of Goodwill' - that's one I haven't heard before.

My 12 year old dd was gobsmacked a few moths ago in Dublin airport when ahe read a sign saying 'hasta la vista'. She'd always thought the phrase was 'pasta la vista' and was something an Italian waiter would say when serving your meal.

You see 'rediculous' too often. Ridiculously so, actually

al-a kee-fit - I suggest it should be "all au qu'il fait."

My friend once told be how guilty she felt about snapping at her dp. When i asked what caused her to snap her reply was " Nothing big, i was already stressed and he just handed me the straw that stroked the camel's back"

The definitely/defiantly thing - in some parts of Scotland, people pronounce the word deff-inn-ate-ly. So they type "definately" and the phone autocorrects it to defiantly.

I do love the Jester of Goodwill and Belgian Whistles though.

A lot of people are basically pretty thick though

Yes they are, spectacularly so

@DontCallMeShitley was that the thread where she wanted to name her baby based on how she looked when born?

Pasta la vista

my favourite Arnie trivia... in Spanish dubbed versions he says Sayonara as it wouldn't make sense to have him saying "hasta la vista".

France is Bacon...

My nan used to get her paper at the news paper cossack.

Lots of those are examples of people having never seen it written down.

One of my pet peeves (and which proves that people neither read any more, nor go and look something up when they don't know) is people advertising cars, with things like
'Citrone CZ for sale...'

it's written on the back of the fucking car! Just go out there and look at it!!

re the OP, how can you know she wasn't channelling Gloria?

I'm laughing at the pp colleague saying - or trying to say "Pete Tong" to be with it - I thought using that phrase marked me out as middle aged!

Laiste news paper cossack?

I can't make anything of that

I always call cayenne pepper kanye pepper. Dp always takes the piss and asks if I'm adding a rapper to the meal.

My mum always refers to show offs as needing to be “the centre of attraction” it drives me mad

I'm imagining a man in loose trousers and a big sable hat doing that crouching-down-while-kicking dance next to a pile of newspapers...?
