Porsche:

Everybody calls it Porsh

2 syllables.

My mother-in-law says "supposably" instead of "supposedly" and it drives me crazy. My wife won't let me correct her.

 

You can always tell a Sweed, but you can't tell him much.

 

my mother in law says
sandrich instead of sandwich

how do you pronounce "i"

i usually say it: I
but other people pronounce it i

lets all sing the song:
you say tomato, i say tomato........you say potatoe, i say potatoe....tomato, potatoe,potatoe, tomato....let's call the whole thing off.

 

mine is PO LEESE

mother ****** it's Police, one word


WHY ARE YOU STRESSING PO?!? are you expecting your parole officer?

I expect that it's because 95 percent of people who require us never graduated high school, the other 5 percent are you guys who are confronted by these morons and aren't accustomed to dealing with them



lets keep it PO fessional


example, went to a call tonight

YO LEON, DA PO LEESE IS HURR! YO POPO WHY YOU HERE?

Ma'am you called us........

NAW I CALLED NINE WON WON

Yes, that's us....



i then went back to my cruiser and smashed my head against the dashboard for hours trying to get on their level

It always bugs the crap out of me when people drop the frictive consonant from words. Like instead of saying "button", they say "buh-nnn". Or instead of "mountain", "mow-nnn". I honestly think I'm just being picky, but sometimes it just pisses me off for no good reason.

 

The American language in general is lazy. We shorten and cutoff many words just for the sake of saving time.

Auto - automatic
I'm not - ain't
automated teller machine - ATM
PIN - Personal Identification number
Cellular phone - cell
Television - TV (Even the Brits call it the Telly)

and let's not even start talking about all the words we use that came from OTHER languages.
