For some reason I cant say WASH, & Because people laugh when I say "WARSH" I HATE THAT WORD, I PREFER CLEAN LOL. I know I know there's no R in WASH its just how it comes out..

"Goes," when used incorrectly in place of "says."

Tom goes, "I didn't do it."

Just be glad you don't live in Washington, and have to deal with not only fools who barely understand that there's a state called Washington as well as a cesspit of a city by that name, plus people calling it 'Warshington.' If we wanted a spare R in our name we'd put it there. Bad enough to confuse the state with the city; worse still when people can't even pronounce its name.

Isn't a sale a type of event?

From a marketing standpoint, "Honda Sale" sounds very plain and is not much to work with for advertising.

Honda Sales Event sounds much more professional and marketable.

Hey! I say WARSH also. My kids always tease me about it. I really have to make a concerted effort to say WASH. I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. and I've heard other people put the R in. It could be a regional thing. However, I never say WARSHINGTON. I pronounce that correctly. Go figure.

I hate the word panties. Don't know why but it just grates on my nerves. "Know what I'm saying?" gets my goat (along with "get my goat").

It almost hurts my ears when I hear someone say anyways.

j_k_k · 08-11-2009, 04:22 PM

'Anyhoo'. When I hear it, I have antisocial urges.
