Misunderstanding/using 'words'/terms

Ha Bless him!

I can't think of any from the top of my head but I am sure I have misunderstood plenty over the years.

Hahaha!

Can't think of any off the top of my head but that's hilarious!

Hahaha!! I can't think of any either (although I'm sure I've heard a few). That did make me laugh though!!

I might try to drop that in to a conversation today to see people's reaction... I'm just going to twerk the report & then it's ready ;-)

That is bloody hilarious!

It makes sense though, if you think about it... "Fried chicken, fricken... male nanny, manny" texting while you work, twerk.

?

I've accidently used incontinent instead of incompetent in an email at work before, haha.

A colleague always uses 'it pulls at my hamstrings' when she means heartstrings. It's hilarious.

Wouldn't it be tworking?! Mind you some accents work is pronounced werk.

Isn't it pronounced werk in all accents?!

Errr not as far as i know!

My friend used to say shoudlering on instead of solidering on.

A friend of mine, trying to show off her vocabulary skills, once yelled at me to stop masterbating instead of masticating - I nearly died on the spot!!

I definitely pronounce work so it rhymes with twerk. Still can't get the image of him attempting a half twerk/half dad dance in the office!

I think I say it more wurrk than werk?

My friend always says "High Insight" instead of "Hindsight".

My aunty used to say "pulling up daisies" instead of "pushing up daisies". I once caught her singing "Once in a Meadow" too instead of "Guantanamero".

My brother once asked what an "emulsha cup" was after singing along to "I'm all shook up" by Elvis. He was about 24 when he asked too and we still take the pee now.

How the hell do you pronounce it?! I definitely say werk.

My ex boyfriend once said 'It's not rocket surgery'

I dunno I have just been saying it out loud like a loon!

I think I mean twurking!

But that sounds the same as twerking! Doesn't it?

You're confusing me, you loon!

Not to me! I will just go and sit in the corner now- my head hurts!

My ex once told me I should "count my lucky chickens".

Reminds me of the txt that was sent....oh love sorry the the dog is dead. Lol.

Thinking it meant lots of love.

Do twerk and work not rhyme when you say them?!?

I've said them both a bout 20 times in my head and they both sound the same. (I hope my neighbours can't hear me)

I hope no one can hear what you say in you head!!!!!!!!!

God what have I started!

Haha I don't know why I said in my head I meant out loud! I'm pretty sure no one can hear what I say in my head :-)

i'd say it with an "or" sound, so twORking, whereas twerking, would be, well, twerking.

eta, I say work, like twerk, but i'd say it differently when its tworking. Like stork...

i'll shut up.

ER I agree! That's how I'd say it too.

Reminds me of a colleague that sent an email singed off 'Kind retards' rather than 'Kind regards'

Id do the same ER I'm a assuming he hadn't seen it written down - only heard it

I pronounce work as werk.

My H was convinced the saying 'damp squib' was actually 'damp squid'

My OH always used to say 'Kill one bird with two stones.' I actually cheered the other day when he got it right for the first time, much to his bemusement ?

I say 'poodling along' even though OH tells me it's 'pootling'.

My OH forgot the word 'confusion' once, it's now a running joke that he says 'confusment' instead!

My manager is great at these. Do far we have had 'every silver cloud' (every cloud has a silver lining' and 'ive saved your beef' (saved your bacon)

Snorted at 'emulsha cup' ?

My H2B is always saying stuff wrong, Westminster became Westminister, he once forgot the word for a sponge so called it a washer, and the word for a spatula so called it a poker and loads of others I can't think of now!
