St Pancreas

[PPAPPINE]

Makes me want to cry when people (including train drivers) say this. It’s St Pancras!!!!!!
Grevious instead of grievous and mischievious instead of mischievous.

One always imagines a teenage Roman martyr pointing to his abdomen and saying 'It's pancreatitis!' (Before being behaeaded for his faith at the age of 14. Sorry, Pancras.)

The problem with St Pancras is that in this house it's always been known as St Pancreas, as a joke. Then it's difficult not to say the wrong one formally.

You called?

Don't start me about prostrate cancer.

Patron saint of diabetics everywhere!

Yeah as a type 1 diabetic I do call it St Pancreas on purpose. Sorry!

I too am T1 and was embarrassingly pleased to hear it (firstly to judge, obviously) as I thought it was a great idea for a username. I didn't realise it was so commonly said, it was the first time I'd heard it.

Obviously in need of some rest bite

The one that makes men lie flat on the floor? I joke, but DH has it, (age related) and I think I visibly winced when a healthcare worker pronounced it wrongly.

I used to work near St Pancras, and one of the fire safety notices in the office , officially ptinted and laminated, told you to exit to St Pancreas. Fortunately, they've demolished the entire building now, whuch was the only reasonable response...

😆

Yeh it's the station we terminate at in London, and we always call it St Pancreas as well. Sorry @PPAPPINE it's meant as a joke. I suspect in the examples you give it is ignorance tho.

Maybe there’s a problem with your eyelets of Langerhans.

It is totally acceptable to use in jest. You may continue, as long as you remember to silently (or loudly) judge those who aren’t joking.

It’s specific/pacific for me. I don’t understand how people get that one wrong.

Or postrate! 😁

St Pancreas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

As a colleague of mine used to say, "We're all just prawns in the game of life." 🤣🤣

"Per say" on places like Reddit does my tits in

God, yes.

And some of the spelling on here is atrocious. Can't bare it, loosing my marbles...there's more but I've blanked them out. I corrected someone's spelling of a common word the other day because they kept doing it and I couldn't stand it one more time.

I mean, these are basic words with basic contexts. There's really no excuse. It's not as if they're misspelling complicated words. I'll never except bad spelling! 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
