It's wash not warsh

It's spelled w-a-s-h.

There's no "r" in there.

So stop adding one damn it!!!

5. Do you know what a 'zink' is?

Or what if you heard someone said their 'gooms' hurt?

Old timers around here talk like that.

8. I give people a break on that one...

'cause my dad says it, so I guess it's a sentimental thing. Then again, my grandpa says "liberry" and my great-grandma said "yeller", so I'm not sure where I should draw the line when it comes to giving people passes based upon sentimentality.

15. Wayne, one of my best friends always says "Warshington"

Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 12:04 AM by 5thGenDemocrat

There's also a road just north of Saginaw named "Tittabawassee," which Wayne pronounces as "Tippity-Wass." Go fig.
John
It is now 143 days, ten hours and 58 minutes until FUNDAY. Show up and I'll get Wayne to pronounce "tit-tah-bah-wah'-see" for you. There'll be free beer (pronounced "beer,") too.
