CHESTER DRAWERS in the wild!

From a person I did not expect to hear it from...

WIBU to have thought that it was a myth?!

On FB, reading that someone has brought an item instead of bought an item makes me clench my teeth

I'm still haunted by the time a guy told me he was eating spag bowel for dinner. Was never able to look at him the same again.

What is "crashed walwat" when it's at home anyway?

I currently have a student who says "aks" instead of ask (southern accent, so "aarks" vs "aarsk"). Making my nerves jangle a bit, as is the colleague who keeps wanting to "garnish" information rather than garner it. I'd like to offer the latter a report with a sprig of parsley on top.

I saw a chesterdrawer (all one word) on my local FB selling group recently. But the name was foreign so I only smiled gently to myself, what with being a complete monoglot.

Friend says or-doss-itee instead of audacity. Tooth grinder.

My neighbour is claiming university credit

Crushed velvet.

Best one in the wild for me was waiting behind a lady at hospital, she asked for the Metallic Bone department. Give the receptionist all due credit, he only asked her to repeat herself a couple of times before he realised she meant metabolic.

Saw a post from someone whose son had just been told he was "lacked toast, and tolerant"

Oh soooooo many but I had a senior manger in my last job who used to refer to her "labtop" (laptop) all the time, the clue was in the name!, I so wanted to pick her up on it, she also used the "word" yous () to describe our team but that's for another thread!....

My good friend uses the word "generally" for genuinely. It took me a couple of times of hearing it to understand what she was one aboutI have tried to gently suggest it is incorrect but she talks so quickly it's like trying to interrupt a machine gun.

"She has such a good heart. I really generally believe she wouldn't do that"

She also pronoinces memes as "mem-eees" which I think is quite sweet.

Oh so many typos. My toddler is clambering all over me, if that can be used in my defence.

l once saw a post on Facebook (no surprise there) by someone asking where she could buy eggs for her "lacked toast intolerant little boy"....

I think my accent does make it sound like I'm saying some of these I always write them the right way though! Promise

I say chest o drawers , I do know it's chest of drawers.
Could just be accent.

A lot of these are probably because of accent and I think it’s unkind to take the mickey.

My parents are Jamaican and say most of these, and I would think anyone who corrected them would be a arrogant twat. They write them the right way though.

I’ve seen Chester drawers and dinning table. I used to work with someone who’d say ‘oh remember me to do that!’ If she wasn’t reminded as we all had our own tasks you know she’d say ‘why didn’t you remember me to do that?’ REMIND!!!!

Crushed velvet.

Ha! Good grief Charlie Brown.

Could have been worse such as: Chesta Draws.

@LizzyELane - off on a tandum - I'm still laughing at that

Really bugs me when people say 'should of' or 'could of'

Also, why do people say the name Joseph as Jozeph?? There's no Z in there??

Prostrate instead of prostate - makes me laugh every time!

My mother had a friend who talked about an 'apoplectic' pregnancy!

Mixing up borrow and lend is just horrible, as is mixing up know and no!

Different to, separate to... it is different FROM and separate FROM.

I can't bare it.
