Things my grandmother says incorrectly that are SO funny:

  • "Our Father, who aren't in heaven..."

  • "skin milk"

  • "karate arteries"

My uncle G.W. (which stands for George Washington) says 'googlin vein' (pronounced like the verb associated with the search engine) instead of jugular vein. It kills me dead.

my grandma says k-marx and wal-marx.

oh, and she always calls me by my sister's name. and spells my name wrong. for our wedding gift she gave us this hideous glass serving platter that said "scott and pattie, march 22, 1997".

heh.

grandmas are insane charming, no?

Ha! That is so funny about the platter!

My brother is always making fun of people who pronounce things wrong... and why do SO MANY PEOPLE pronounce Wal-Mart incorrectly? My brother has decided he should go around correcting people incorrectly... as in, "Umm, don't you mean 'Wal-MARK'?"

My grandma used to always complain that she had "Old Timer's Disease"

Yeah, I hear a lot of people saying that.

Same here, and I let it slide because of the punnish quality.

Though a lot of times, I hear it in the context of general memory slip as opposed to Alzheimer's proper.

"bronichal asthma"
"semolina" (salmonella)


it's that goddamned woonsocket call.

Ugh, my former stepmother used to say "bronichal asthma" and it irritated me to no end. (Though most things she did had the same effect.)

The Call is the worst paper ever. I was reading it last week when I went home for the funeral. All 5 pages of it.

Yeah.

My roommate, the erstwhile [livejournal.com profile] pak_man78, has a curious speech impediment.

I have told him, untold times, that the lowbrow British accent is 'cockney.' (It may in fact be capitalized in proper usage; I haven't a clue.)

Cock. Knee.

Still, he _insists_ on mispronouncing it as 'cog-nee' and thinks he can get away with it. It would be charming, if I hadn't corrected him half-a-dozen times. To his face. In the company of others.

I just bet he has tons of luck asking his girlfriend to suck his cog.

That's nothing; situational humor at best. (... suck his cog. I'm brilliant!) My grandmother speaks in her own dialect.

Her favorite unique word is 'aina'.
It's a contraction of "ain't it?"

As in: "That's a nice dress, aina?"

Coolest word _ever._ Never heard anyone else use it.

Dear god, there's someone else who has the dubious pleasure of knowing Woonsocket?

Sshhh, don't tell anyone around here, they think I'm from Colorado!

I lived in Blackstone from 1984-1991. We got the Blackstone edition of the Call.
