Stuff that you grew up learning wrong! (40)
What are some things you have learned incorrectly?
A nice church lady learn a new word and used it many times until someone explained her tw*t was not her butt. She had gotten a habit of saying, "Oh!, I don't just stay home and sit on my tw*t all day."
poor lady!
She thought she was being more polite!

I live in Nashville. Half the words they say here are pronounced incorrectly. And the other half are made up. LOL.

Ya'll mean 'at Momenems ain't really the real name for where my momma lives? Is "up the big house" not really appropriate? Dale Earnhardt did not drive a "Shovelay"?

I didn't even realize you lived in Antioch. I lived there for several years. The only word they say wrong (or differantly) that stands out in my mind is Lafeyette. (sp)
------ This thread is Archived ------
Yep, sure do. Kewl! Small world, isn't it?
LOL! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!
La-FAY-ette...instead of La-fee-ETTE.
That's by FAR not the only word they pronounce incorrectly.
For another:
Maury County they pronounce as "Murray" County. Wrong. My brother's name is Maury ...and of course we all know "Murray Povich," right?
LOL
There are a lot of others. Typical Southern slang.

Can't tell it by the way you write. I'm not talking about having an accent; I'm talking about "Southernspeak," aka, a one-way trip to Hicksville USA. Jeff Foxworthy type stuff.

Oh, I don't know. I can think of certain people who used to frequent this establishment who didn't seem to have a problem with it "atall."

I think it would take more brain cells than I actually had to type like that.... I have noticed a few people on here that must be a lot smarter than I am, though, because they have it down pat.

i remember being in first grade...and having an assignment where we were supposed to circle all the words that contained the short-e vowel sound.
one of the words on the list was 'pen'. i circled it, and she counted it wrong...when i brought the paper up to her and asked why it was counted as incorrect...she told me...
"that word is 'pee-un', not 'pen'"...

OMG...is the South the only place in the world that can take one-syllable words and turn them into five-syllable ones? lol

it turned into a big deal, lol...my mom backed me up, i went back and told the teacher that i was right...mom had a conference...
final result? the teacher informed my mother that even though i was five books into the next year's curriculum...had been in private study for half the year in preparation...i was no longer considered 'emotionally fit' to skip the next year or two in school.
grrr.

I feel for ya, girl. I'm left-handed and went to elementary school in the '60s when they apparently still thought that all left-handed people were somehow "evil" or "learning disabled." LOL. I had HELL with teachers trying to force me to write with my right hand in the first grade.
------ This thread is Archived ------
they DID force me, lol...
i'm ambidextrous, now...and even switch off hands taking notes in college. two of my four kids are lefties...

Many in my family say flushtrated instead of frustrated.
In a joke posted last night I told a joke the way my grandfather told it. The word used was not the northern spelling. LOL
The old people around here, say ant as ain't (piss ain't). Aunt is also said ain't (Ain't Susan.)
A man came to use the phone, he called his boss, This is some of his conversation...."Da truck won't start...I cranked and I cranked, but it wouldn't crunk."
I am always coming across dumb stuff I have learned as I grew up. I think its funny. I do correct them though.
