no, it's not a trick question. i seriously pronounce it one way, but know someone who pronounces it another. i truly can't decide who says it more correctly. it's one of those words i can't get irritated about because i'm not quite sure what's correct and i say it like i hear it.

i have a problem saying "non sequitur" there's no comparison for that phrase in english, really, and whenever i get ready to say it i change my mind and when people are like i have to be like " i forgot what i was saying"

no, mizzzable ...

@ this whole damn thread

Especially at 'volumptuous' and Imago's mother. Bless her.

Mon has a few...

"It's too spenship!"

"That's unbelievedable!"

"That guy has a cocky accent"

And she used to say 'custerber' instead of cotton bud

Our friend Ple says 'It'sgusting!' and 'searly?' when she means 'seriously'.

And Mon's brother always exclaims 'No goose!' when he means 'no good'.

Silly Thailand. It gets my goat every time I hear this song they have for their version of American Idol. The show's called Academy Fantasia but they insist on singing 'fantasia' like 'fantazure'.

Also, a few weeks back I remember having this pointless argument with Mon about the word deluxe. She'd been out and was a little tipsy and was ordering a pizza for me over the phone. She kept saying 'dalook' and just wouldn't accept she was wrong since 'that's how Thai people say it'. Mind you, some say 'deelux' and some say 'djalux'. But not DALOOOK!

It's terrible when getting a taxi to Central shopping centre that you have to just accept that only saying 'Centun' will let you be understood. And PLEASE can we stop all the ads for shampoo, moisturizers etc. using the word 'freshy'?!!!

And no I don't want to get a hambuGER! Or fench fied. Or go to the beggerLEE for some bread. Nor do I need a seckatelly. Or some new towzer. And it's not a partment. It's an apartment!

Ok, I'm good.

I'm convinced that somewhere in NYC there are streets paved with LINOLEUM!
Do you know how many times I've watched the news and someone has said, "FLOOR" to mean "GROUND"?! (usually pronounced "FLAW"!!!)

ex: "Oh my God! The man jumped out of the building and was laying on the floor!"

ex2: "The car flipped over and he flew out and was on the floor!"

fhqwhgads said:

oh holy shit

hambuger is something i hear everywhere.

wtf is a towzer? i'm sure it's really obvious but what is it supposed to be...

lots of people here call Wal Mart...Wal Marts...

those folks are truly living the dream...

and a few select schwimps


a lady at a local furniture store sold me a "set of mattress"....she said "set of mattress" like 20 times...it was a fucking power quote...


my da can't/won't say Miami...he says My Am I....

"i went acrost the street"

i hate that

there is no such word as "acrossed" or "acrost" people need to learn to say either "went across" or "crossed," not some freaky ass mixture of both.

I know I shouldn't pick on the Thais. Most of the time it's just not being able to wrap their mouths around certain sounds, but a typical sentence from our friend Ple goes a little something like..

I'm stay in net shop and my com say ERLERR! so I arks one follunerrr guy for helping me and we start chat and him say him come from Yeramunny and him come to Thai with his fren Mycun him from yoonighstay.

Once during a game of "taboo", the word I was supposed to describe was "Hors Derves", pronounced of course, "OR DERVS".

I had no fucking clue what the word was so I had to skip it for my team.

When our clock ran out, I finally just blurted out, "ok, I totally need help with this one word I skipped--What in the hell is a WHORES DEVORES?? "


oh lawd, I was the butt PLENTY 'O' Vocab jokes that night, especially since everyone USED to think I was smart.
