a recent change.
i got totally roasted for using that word in post secondary. big red letters - and an arrow. :)

Nuclear

ˈn(y)o͞o-klē-ər

Ex-Mrs Beard was the queen of mixed metaphors and screwed up phrases

She could not say scapegoat. "I don't want to be the scrapegoat". Ouch!!!

Wrong sayings: "Like a Bull in a China closet" - shop. China shop!

And the famous: "I don't give two $#!T$ to the wind!"

Huh?!?

I love to pronounce words funny from time to time.

Even better to misspronounce words like Thingamajig, whatchamacallit, etc...

Dictionaries add words as they become more widely used including slang, technical and layman's speech.

The only problem with irregardless is that regardless means exactly the same thing w/o the prefix -ir. The theory goes that it's a combination of irrespective and regardless. There's nothing really wrong with it other than the prefix and suffix are redundant.

I wouldn't put it in a formal writing form and I personally don't use the term.

But I've heard much worse butchering on the English language that irregardless barely moves the needle for me.

As a lawyer. As a mother. As a douche bag. Most of us already know.

May I strangle you if you say it one more time?

Was she on NCIS?

"I was sweatin' protrusively!" A friend of mine just could not say profusely...'twas wierd.

Same with Absolubeley.

I sometimes yell random things at people. Tis fun.

"Only a corn burrito would know!"

"I got the mad dance mother funky!"

Funny thread but at the same time not so funny. Teachers and parents should be catching this stuff before letting their kids out into the world.

I once worked with a gal who was born and raised in England. One day she was having a conversation with someone who was having trouble understanding a few of the things she was saying (I'd known her for a while and always thought she was well spoken). The fella asks her: "Who taught you to speak that way?"

She replies: "The Queen!".

Sometimes it's fun to hit the silent letter extra hard in words like subtle or knight or mortgage.

I like flammable and inflammable.

The prefix "in" could reasonably make one conclude that they have opposite meanings when they're actually identical.

People ask me questions just to find entertainment in the answer I come up with.

The other day I was asked about cell towers and started explaining about Sell Towers. Towers built to be topped with elevated signage letting people know to stop by and spend their money on what is being sold.

And who's not a fan of a good malapropism?


After years of internet reading, and seeing people who don't know how to spell definitely, allow their computer's Spell Check to change their misspelling to defiantly, I've gone to occasionally following their lead as in, "I defiantly need a cup of coffee".

Take my money, ****h!
