Pronunciations that annoy you

Its a soda.

 

warrrsh and pop

 

A lot of really "country" people in Georgia call Coca-Cola "co-cola". They leave a whole syllable out. lol

 

Speaking of that, I hate when people call soda "pop", or lollipops "suckers."

 

Thurr instead of there

 

I think new york is probably the only place where they say "on line" instead of "in line". Like asking someone "are you on line?" sounds like something to do with the internet lol. They also say "following" instead of "next customer". It's either that or "next on line".

 

On line--I've always noticed that too.

Ki-ins--kittens.

Mi-ins. mittins.

Let's go shoo--in. Shooting

Guy from Connecticut that works for us says this.

Cuber-Cuba. Is a tuba a tuber?

 

Aig instead of egg.

 

Manha-en is the most notable (for Manhattan)

 

Fuck, I hate that. Same with "laig" instead of "leg".


A good example(skip to 3:00). Everytime Janice say's "laig(leg)", I just wanna punch my monitor. It's fuckin horrid.

That would drive me insaaaaane.


Also melk instead of milk.

 

Yeah, especially considering Coca-Cola originated in Georgia. lol People here should know how to say it properly.

 

I also hate it when people say "walmark" instead of Walmart". lol It's almost always really old people who say it like that.

 

i hate when people say Brad instead of BBAD..ive given up correcting them

 

Lol, TNS that reminds me. Targit instead of Target. >:[

 

Concreek instead of concrete.
Here's a good one - a guy who went to my my high school thought that people who couldn't hear were "death" people.

 

My boyfriends father calls "Cumin (the spice)", "coumadin" like the blood thinner. Or he pronounces it "comin'."

 

haha Yeah, the same goes for "git" instead of "get" too. A lot of people refer to Target as "Tarjay", trying to make it sound French and sophisticated or something. lol

 

I was gonna say that but didnt know how to spell tarjay.

Another i dont care for is mostly bostonians that say pauk instead of park

 

Peel instead of pill.
