Fun with Words, NOT!
 

Today, I reviewed a report by a colleague who was doing an Indoor Air Quality investigation. He stated that the hallway was finished in "Wayne's Coating". I emailed him back and said that I thought the word that he was thinking about was "wainscoting".

A few weeks ago, the same guy wrote in a report that the "duck tape" on the HVAC was peeling off. Not the "duct tape". I don't think it was a typo either, (quack, quack).

Well, there could be a good reason for the confusion about the tape:

Original Strength 60 yd Duct Tape | Duck® Brand

Wonderful boss I had used the term "For all intensive purposes".

His boss used the term "flustrated"

I just zipped it. Somebody kill me.

Awyup, I'm witcha on disun

Driving home from work every day I passed a sign from a landscape company that was hiring. The sign read, "Now excepting applications". It took them over a month to finally correct it.

There is a funny picture on the net of a guy holding a sign that says get a brain morans.

He probably is a guy that uses a radio arm saw.

Does he post here? I've seen all the above and dozens more....

(My manager used to say subjugated when he should have used subjected...I'm not sure it was a slip-up)

I expectaciously look forward to checking this thread periodically.

I think Wayne's coating is for sale on this site somewhere

Those kinds of things are "defiantly" irritating. I see that on this site pretty often.

I like conjugated visits.

"Must sale!"

Prolly a good thread.

"...and then when he hit the breaks, nothing happened, so..."

"So when I saw the add I thought it might worth looking into..."

There was a listing for a house here recently that started out, "Owner Sez, sell this house". Seriously? You expect a commission for advertising like a high schooler!!!!

And a good choich of topic to!

(gak!)

There is no way they're going to sell their house. Probably the most misused words today.

I had a VP of purchasing refer to the size of something as "linear square footage".

I had a regional manager once who put out a voice mail for our region about an approaching hurricane.

Used the tern BLUNT of the storm (instead of BRUNT). We were rolling on the floor....

:confused:

OH! Morons! Jeez right over my head. Tx!

I was going to post something but it would be a mute point here.

I had a friend that was always saying he was appost to do this or that instead of supposed.

I have heard the "all intensive purposes" many times here.

A regular one I see on THIS BOARD is "Brake Peddle" drives me to distraction.

I have also seem "break petal". That had me scratching my head for a bit.

A local radio station, when giving the winter road reports had an announcer who would advise some roads were "possible with caution" instead of passable. It sort of worked.

Another one from a a mechanic about 20 years ago, "had to replace the Cadillac converter."
I suppose it cost enough.

^^^ LOL Sandman...never gets old! :D

There are a few fun signs here indicating:

"NO OPEN TOE'D SHOES"
"INTERSTITUAL HATCH"

I really hope you just stumbled on to that site as a result of a quick search ......

I though you were supposed to use the thighs of Cuban virgins?

Friend of mine got into a "discussion" with another friend about his use of "... any strike of the imagination."

"You mean stretch?"

"No... you know.... by any strike of the imagination."

"I don't think that's a thing."

The guy spent some time with Google and admitted he'd had it wrong all of his life. This is someone who's college educated and over 50 years old.

Sticker on the back of a car: "baby on route".
I just don't want to run over him/her.
