Writing versus speaking
 

Headline on the news:

...parts of the midwest were socked with pea- and marble-sized hail.

How I heard it:

...parts of the midwest were socked with pee, and marble-sized hail.

:eek:

Hey, these Midwestern thunderstorms get pretty scary, man. I've almost soaked myself with pee several times during the big Spring outbreaks...

Oh, wait...I see that it said "socked". Hell, I can't even *read* stuff without screwing it up.

:lol:


Hey you guys don't be using those unbrellas with the little metal prong.

Dang, and here I thought unbrellas were for when it weren't raining.

:lol:

Like for at the beach?


Ahh imagine, Summer sun, a cool drink, a good book or a nice chat.

The other day I thought I heard a weather reporter say "nipple-sized" hail. I guess it was actually nickel-sized. But that made me wonder why they never sway "nipple-sized" hail.

Just wondering.

hail yeah!

I likes the speaky thing, but for some damn reason, ... when ya hear a Bostonian talk... it ain't spelt the same..

Because all nickels are the same size, while nipples come in various sizes.

And can I get an AMEN!? :notworthy

Amen. :D

say, "My Dixie wrecked!" out loud. do it now.

also: the opposite of above me: "below me"

My babe often enjoys a Dickens' Cider. Nothing like a big ol' Dickens' Cider at the end of a long day.

oft times when a male customer comes in and won;t make a decision to buy the car with out his wife, we ask him to bring his wife back so we can dicker a little more.

say this with an english accent--Whale Oil Beef Hooked! sounds great, donnit?
