Diva, you've got me right there. I'm thinking back and I can hardly remember when I said "sleeping" or "asleep." I almost always say, "sleep."  I'm with you on that gurl! I say "sleep", "finna", "nem", all that! (If you need my to use any of those words in a sentence feel free to ask) LOL. My parents are ok when it comes to proper english, specially my dad, but otherwise, my folks are straight up country |

towarth-some word my mom uses that actually means 'towards'....I correct her every time and it juts goes to waste (she'd hit me if she knew I was tellin yall)
And I hate when people say "True, true" all the time, as if they can't say anything else! I'll be like...."I'm 15",
"True, true". What's that about?

Like I said, my peeps are country:
I hate when they use was/were and is/are incorrectly
"Is you still goin to the sto (store)?"
"If she were as young as she used to be..."
And I hate when people say scrawberry, screet, scraight. My cousin visitin from Alabama just said schruck (shrunk)
ANd I hate when s is added to words that don't need them:
fishes, mens, etc...
The worst word of the sort I've heard was teefes (pronounced tee- fess) meaning "teeth"

I hate when people INTENTIONALLY sound ignorant (or "ignant") ALL the time because they think it is funny or cool. I mean, every now and then it's ok, even I'm guilty of that, but I hate it when people let it define who they are as a person.
There's this girl I work with, she's Alabama all the way but she CAN speak intelligently because she does it to our customers all the time. Yet when she's in her normal mode around us, she's got that ghetto/cracker/Ricky Lake/Jenny Jones thing going on because she thinks it's cute and it makes me INSANE!!!!! I kid her all the time that she has a split personality.

wow earth angel! that was funny!  they used to make fun of leon spinks -the young boxer in 1978 that upset muhammad ali and was champ for a quick second. he had a gap in his front two teeth so they'd say leon what's your phone number and he said-fi fi fo -fo fi fo fi. they also said he lacked class so he needed motif in his living room and motif in his mouf! ivory- it was hilarious reading about miss double thang in your job. |

My gramma and her sisters say "Shwimps." Now see, you need to leave my gramma alone. :laughing: My favorite word of hers: pantses. I catch my ma saying that all the time now. And I KNOW they know better. |

ROFL, that's what happens when you live in the South Oh Sukka, I know what you mean....that like stuff gets annoying In Virginia I went through a phase like that with my friends...but we kept on saying "I'm mad that..." "I'm mad that she said that" "I'm mad that she wore those shoes" "I'm mad that the dance ends at 8" |

My little girl says TASTES in two syllables.... Tay-Stuhs. It's the cutest thing. She can't seem to say it the other way. In a way, I hope it doesn't change because it's the only "little girl" thing left!! She used to say "Nest-Ron" instead of Restaurant. And "Fank You" instead of Thank You....but all that is gone now.  I can't remember who it was in this thread that said they *hated* when someone said "Ath-UH-lete" in three syllables. I thought of it the other night! I was watching the BET Awards and Vivica A. Fox and Leon were giving out the award for best female athlete. Guess who said "Ath-UH-lete" at least 10 times in the presentation?? Miss Vivica!!! Someone needs to talk to her! Peach |

If you saw Vivica on Jeopardy, you'd know she's an idiot

I don't know if anyone's said this one yet but, the phrase "OH MA GAWD" or "OH MY GOSH"...repeated no less than 5 times in a row it's almost as if you say it ONCE, it JUST has to be repeated  ...and for you grammarians, I KNOW the word "AIN'T", ain't no word, but when you think about it, the word pops up all the time in song titles and a slew of everyday conversations. To me it's really the usage of it that determines to me when and if it's acceptable. My daughter says things like "she ain no dat" (without the "T" mind you) ...I hear her say things like that and I cringe. On the other hand I may say "ain't that right?", and somehow it seems acceptable in that context.. |

Lol, tdallas, I saw her on that. I just thought she might've been having a bad day. At least she raised money for a good cause. :laughing:
