People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

[charlohiottean]

Can I ax you a question?

You got a deks up in your occife?

 

[Mike80]

Pfft, 98% think they saw him shopping at Krogers.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

I catch hell when I try and explain San Antonio Holmes was not from Texas.

Are you insinuating that San Antonio is part of Mexico?

 

[Zurp]

How many times did you hear the rumor that so-and-so's dental hygienist has a client who's a realtor in Upper Arlington, and the realtor is showing houses to Meyer's wife? I swear I heard that from 4-5 different people, and it's highly unlikely that those people talked to each other. Either Shelly had a lot of realtors, or that realtor had a lot of dentists.

Speaking of realtors, and this thread, how great is it when people pronounce "realtor" with an extra syllable? "Realitor"
How about adding a syllable to "jewelry"? "Jewelery"

It's even worse when it's a realtor calling themselves a real-a-tor. If you can't even pronounce your own profession, I'm going to be pretty skeptical of your abilities.

Also, it's athlete, not athalete. Way to many sports announcers say athalete.

I've never noticed anyone saying "athalete".
I wonder if I've been saying my title incorrectly. Is it "Engineer" or "Engneer"?

adding "s" to the end of store names annoys the shit out of me. My MIL always says she needs to go to Walmarts to get something, she found out it annoys me, so she does it more often

I blame Sears.

That seems to be an old person thing, especially for women. My suspicion is that back in the day most grocery stores and department stores had possessive names.

I have to admit that I have a bit of soft spot for this one. Prior to and excluding my wife, my best girlfriend was a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx. She said this, but it was her only notable speech quirk.

MIL says Meijers all the time.

Did she make a good sofrito?

 

[Jagdaddy]

She made good red beans and rice.

 

[gregorylee]

all these stupid new words for shit that already has a name.
glizzy
tax
stupid ass shit like that

Yeah - don't tell me that something bothers you, or I'll do it more often. I won't even use it in a way that makes sense.
My brother hates "more unique", and "very unique". And, honestly, it makes you sound like you never passed the third grade. "Unique" means "one of a kind". There aren't different levels of one of a kind. A thing is either unique or it isn't.
So I'll poke the bear. "All of the beers in your fridge are the mostest unique beers I've ever seen."
