I'm going to piggyback off the mispronunciation of words theme. It drives me up a wall when people say "FUSStrated" or "FUSStrating". There's an R in there, people.

Not sure if your comment is related or not but, when Heart Attack Terri called in last week, she said "fusstrated" and I almost threw my phone across the room. She also referenced her "charge card" which really bumped me for some reason.
 

Totally unrelated because I don't listen anymore but I would have caught that for sure. Drives me insane.

My husband gets on me about my mispronunciation of frustrated as well. I changed the way I say milk and eggs for him, but sometimes the Chicago in me is hard to shake.

My beef would then have to be with people from Indiana, like my husband, who are referred to as “Hoosiers.” Change that, it’s not cute, then you can correct me.

Wait - now I need to know how you said milk and eggs! I don't think of people from Chicago as having an overly pronounced accent.

I really don't have much, but when I went away to college (in central Illinois, mind you) there were people who noticed it.  Now I live outside of Indianapolis and I've had a few people ask me.  It's pretty slight but...

Milk = Melk
Egg = AA-g (long A sound with a "gh") 
Leg = LAA-g (another long A)
Soda = pop

I think my brother has it less becuase he's quite a bit younger than I am and didn't grow up as much around grandparents and older relatives.  However, he says he's been teased as an adult about a few words too.  

While I grew up in the south suburbs, my family is/was all from the South Side of Chicago.  My one set of grandparents had a bonafide "frunch-room."  That's how you'd say "front room" or "living room," if you're not in the know!

I do not say "sausage" weirdly or say "da" instead of "the."  Those people are far and few, that I've ever ran into.

Haha thanks for elaborating! None of that would really bother me. I just can't stand when people just completely say a different/wrong word (pacific/specific).

Also, "expresso".

my mom swears she says it correctly, but it always sounds like she says "botato" instead of potato and it drives me up the wall.

I got kicked out of GS too!  I told a dirty joke, which I then had to PAINFULLY repeat to my dad on the drive home.  I can still remember wanting to melt into a puddle of embarrassment.

The mother-effing perfume that Daryn wears!!! For God's sake, it's annoying and weird how secretive they're being about it at this point. It wasn't specifically created for her, and it's not like everyone is together all the time. Tell us what it is already so people can MOVE ON.

Agreed. I don't even really care, but she said its Balenciaga and not Paris or B, so I think it must be Florabotanica because that's pretty much the only other one they make. I was given a sample once and it was nice, but certainly not worth all this attention.
 

I think either she's lying and it's B, or it's B Skin since those are the two scents described as being "fresh." Also, I could have sworn she said that it's available through Sephora, and they only have Paris and B.

My beef is with Andrea and her Ex. Who calls the ex and let them know they are prego. With a second child. Weird.

I bet she wanted to marry him and he was against marriage, and now she’s butt hurt that he’s actually marrying.

I agree, that whole thing was very odd. It sounds like he probably didn't feel the need to be told about her life stuff and certainly didn't want to tell her his, and I don't blame him. They have been broken up for years, why would he care? It tells me, and this is just my opinion (or "allegedly, in my opinion" as Tay would say) that she isn't over that relationship. And speaking of relationships- what is with her being intentionally nasty to her boyfriend's family over Christmas? She admitted she was taking every opportunity to be piss-y- why??? I used to like Andrea but I was zero impressed with her yesterday.

I know so many people that won't tell. I have one scent in my rotation that I won't tell people and that's because it was discontinued 10-12 years ago and getting harder and harder to find. I scan ebay every so often to look for specific bottles preferably from the same lots I've bought before and preferably still with the original box so that I know it was out of direct sunlight for the most part. So when people compliment me and ask what it is, I tell them it was discontinued over 10 years ago and leave it at that. I don't need people driving up the price any more than it already is
