The funniest one I’ve heard recently was on a comedy podcast - so intentional
‘Well I wouldn’t hold my breasts waiting for it to happen’ 😂😂😂
Really made me chuckle that one.

Someone once posted that his cats were malting all over the sofa.

To make some beer later...?

''We are pregnant''.

No. One of you is.

I really need to loose some weight before Christmas so I can fit around the dinning room table.

Arghhh!! It’s when they are written by people that should know better, it’s so annoying.

I borrowed him a fiver. No, you may have lent him a fiver, but he borrowed it off you!

@MitziK No 'spaded girl' dogs yet?

I'm not on Facebook so never see the written, but hear it more or less daily. It doesn't make me have to fight the urge to giggle as much as those who need to have them 'muted'.

My old nan, bless her, couldn't even say some things correctly. They were never Jehovah's Witnesses, they were Josaphat's Witnesses Grin

An acquaintance of mine always puts recon instead of reckon. Makes me mad

For a long time as a child I thought parmesan cheese was called "palmers and cheese" and I would get very annoyed when people wouldn't tell me what palmers were

''Can I get..?'' when ordering food/drink Hmm
Well, yes, if you want to go into the cafe/restaurant kitchen and get it yourself, feel free....

I saw a banner with "Brexit mean's Brexit". Was tempted to add "But mean's doesn't mean means"

isabellerossignol · 23/10/2019 18:37

"Can I get..?'' when ordering food/drink

I think that is a regional speech pattern. It is absolutely standard where I live, I've never really heard anyone say anything other than that. And whilst I don't know for certain what the history of that particular phrase might be, or if it applies in this case, I do know that Scottish and Irish speech patterns that are scorned as incorrect are actually often very logical when you factor in that the language in those areas have been influenced by other distinct local languages.

I wonder if that might apply in this case?

I once saw a chez lounge offered for sale.
(Chaise longue, in case anybody's wondering.)

MaybeitsMaybelline · 23/10/2019 18:40

This is rediculous.

cometothinkofit · 23/10/2019 18:42

Some friends and I stayed in a guest house about 30 years ago, and they did evening meals as well as breakfasts.

I ordered lasagne. When the waitress arrived at the table with the food, she announced "Whose is the Louse Agony?"

ThistleTits · 23/10/2019 18:43

I recently seen a "pair of clots" for sale, they meant culottes Shock.

asparagusnextleft5 · 23/10/2019 18:44

Another FB friend posted last night that they were watching the Star Wars film "Rouge One" - haven't heard of that one but I presume it's about make up?!

And I also noticed on a La Tasca FB post someone commented that they love "tappers"!

LittleMissIvy · 23/10/2019 18:47

Then we have the making of memories with the famalam...

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 23/10/2019 18:50

I so hate it when people say 'litt-tle' instead of 'little' - i.e. accentuating the double 't' in the middle, same with bott-tle, but then completely missing out the double 't' in words like 'butter' (so making it bu - er') - awful!

starfishmummy · 23/10/2019 18:51

Pepple who feel ill are often "reaching" - retching. I've even seen it here on mn.

smilingontheinside · 23/10/2019 18:52

I have a colleague that says "I put on my dressin gowned" makes me want to scream. Also chart for cart as in "I put stuff in the shopping chart. My kids say spog bog sometimes and spag bol at other times depends which member if the family they are talking to.

If I am feeling difficult I then reply "why do you need mine, if you aint got non you must have some"! That leafs them scratching there asses Grin

When I was younger, my best friends family used to have corned beef hash on Ash Wednesday.

Was this a deliberate anti fast choice or what am I missing?

Saw a condenscending tumble dryer for sale the other day, and a crashwalvet bung bed (crushed velvet bunk bed).
