Just seen my first 'spag bowl' on FB. I feel like I belong here now

[omikron]

I'm honoured.

'Please may I have' is what should be said instead of the utterly dickish 'can i get...'

Just realised I won’t see my cousins kids in their ‘Tricker treatin’ outfits next week as I deleted their mum.

This hole post is givin me the iches. I ate to here all this aweful chat abowt how peeple carnt spell nowerdays. I fink peeple arr two up there own arses nowerdays (oh my god, that hurt to write lol) I really really hate it when people can’t spell and I’m so pleased to know I’m not alone.

I noticed someone writing about when they used to go to cembaly at school. It took a minute to work out what on earth they meant.

My friend says valentimes and chimley litrerally drives my insane! Oh and another one the doctor throbbed me off

'Can I get' is appalling and sounds so rude. I'm sure it is an Americanism. No one said it in the 80s in Britain.

I had no idea it was unusual until I read about it on mumsnet. Over the past few months, I have listened intently in the queue at coffee shops, and when out with groups of people, and almost everyone says 'can I get' which is why I was wondering if it is regional. I've never really heard anyone say 'please may I have', it's just not something that is said in my part of the world, it would sound really out of place. I'm in N Ireland which is why I had been wondering if it might have originated in Scotland, but obviously I was wrong on that.

But it's definitely not a modern thing. My octagenarian mother would say 'can I get a coffee please' if she was in a cafe.

This is outing but my ex used to put his clothes in the walldrobe and order chicken with chawsue nuts in the chinese. His mother put a slim card into her phone and a scarp lead into the tv. My aunt cut things with a scittors, mums friend went to the pro catheatre (pro cathedral in dublin) and my father says Dunkey instead of donkey.

Christ that feels better

I say 'dunkey' and 'munkey'. It's just my accent though, not because I can't spell them.

Its not our accent in the least!

I hate it when (numerous!) people say tho ha like ‘I been apart of it for 10 years’; kind of means the opposite to what they intend it to!

*things like!! ffs, this isn’t the thread to make a mistake on!

It might not be your accent, but it's my accent and I'd have to concentrate really really hard to change the way I was taught to pronounce words, and who has time for that?

Clearly my dad cos we are from Dublin and nobody pronounces it that way

I saw someone constantly being "Sick to deaf" of other people. Had to unfollow her, it was a regular thing and hurt my eyes.

I've just seen....
Rush and roulette on FB.

@Phoebesgift that's so lovely!!

Defiantly instead of definitely drives me nuts.

I had an American online friend who would write do when she meant due, probably because that’s how she said it.

An old friend used to say adismal. Not sure if she meant dismal, abysmal, or something else.

Oh in New Zealand I worked on a deli counter and the most common request was “can I get a pottle of the (non-specific) olives, thanks,” while pointing vaguely. POTTLE?

However, the accent was so great: “ken I git a pottle of the oluvs thenks.”

And I heard at least a couple of people say “the be end and end all.”

One of my favourite colleagues says 'would of' instead of 'would have'.

I say "would've" and it sounds like "would of". But I know what I'm saying and how to spell it.

"Olive-wah" has to be my favourite from the posts above.

My ex MIL used to say hospical.
I assume she still does but I am so lucky to not have to see her any more. She also used to shop in The Asdas

Oh man, this thread is just brilliant. DH is trying to doze next to me and I'm sniggering like Mutley and making the sofa wobble

Can I add a few little gems courtesy of my lovely mum?

All variations of Ibuprofen as listed by Pug. The best bit is she says it a different way EVERY. TIME. She's so inconsistent she's actually consistent.

My mum is the worse for this and blames autocorrect. She once commented on a photo on FB "two stoners" defiantly think she meant "stunners" .....

Has anybody mentioned the “skellingtons” in their closet yet?
