Number 3 - Saying "Don't Call Me Shirley" whenever anyone uses the work "surely". Jeez, it's been 30 years already .....
Number 2 - Dolly Parton. No matter why her name comes up, country music singer, businesswoman, Dollywood, whatever, EVERYONE makes the mammary jokes and never stops.
And Number 1 -
Bestiality jokes whenever "Sheep" are mentioned. Yes, it was funny the first through the 8 millionth time, but .....?
The next one on the list will be mentioning "that" song whenever someone says "Vincent" ..... !! :violent1:

Here's a motorcycle related one: Making jokes about someone wearing "Assless Chaps". I see it regularly on boards, but by definition, chaps are leg coverings and aren't supposed to cover the ass.
Have you noticed that people born in the early part of the 20th century or before tended to have a repertoire of jokes, words, poems, and sayings? A few that I used to hear, or still hear from people close to me:
* Always using the word "ornamental" instead of "Oriental"
* Asking if you were hatching it if you answer the phone on the 1st ring
* When asked how much something costs, they say "A buck three-eighty" or something equally clever
* Whenever someone coughed or talked about coughing, I'd hear "It's not the cough that carries 'em off, it's the coffin they carry 'em off in."
etc.

Claiming that the V7 would be perfect if it only had another 100 cc displacement, 25 more hp, and better suspension.

Ah, but that used to be an acceptable pronunciation and was even spelled in such a way to be correct. I used to make fun of my wife until I was set straight.
I shouldn't have been making fun anyway.

Or those who refer to a subject as a MUTE point.
IE, Half the subjects on Wild Guzzi. Like, adding another 100cc's to a V7 is really a moot point because those dang I-talians don't give a crap!

sigh... using "use" as a plural of "you"
My mother's mom and dad came from the old country, and settled in Ohio, across the river from Wheeling, WV. People from that area had a plural of "you" which was you-uns, but usually pronounced approximately "yoontz". When they hung a baited hook in the water, they were feeshin', and after dinner, they washed the deeshes. It was all European influence on the language.

Fixed it for ya.

you do realize that ya'll is singular. The plural is all ya'll.

Uh, are use guys really anal about stuff like this or just being sarcastic ? My wife's uncle calls the stove pipe a "chimley" and when asked when he was born, he says "bornded". Makes me laugh inside.

Any politician who says Nukular instead of Nuclear should be fired on the spot...particularly those who are involved in negotiations on the same bloody subject.
Any real estate agent who calls themselves a RELAtor instead of a REALtor...run away!
School officials who frequently say libary instead of library, or Febuary instead of February...
Irregardless, incent or incentivize, paradigm shift, pick off the low hanging fruit and all the rest of the over used buzz phrases.
Crick vs. Creek...that seems be more of a country vs. city pronunciation I have noticed, or folks who confuse present and perfect tenses. E.g. So there I was back in 1992 at the crick nearby Marshall's country store, and I come up on a possum layin on its side... :)

Here bygynneth the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury
Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende .....
Well, "fluid" it is over a 600-year period .... Maybe not so hard to read, if you make some guesses .... !

Nothing in the world wrong with regional differences in the American English dialect.
Things would really be boring if we all sounded like some mid-western news anchor.
Oh, and "new-cue-lar"? If someone with the credentials of Jimmy Carter can say it, that's fine by me.

Yeah, we said that in Ohio.
In that part of Ohio I was talking about earlier, across from Wheeling WV, "wash" was usually pronounced "woosh".

Those are all common here in rural NC. Insurance is really more like INshornce, with only two syllables. And any town name that ends in "ville" is pronounced with a "vul" at the end instead. But this stuff isn't pet peeve wrong stuff, it's just interesting dialects. Heck, how do you pronounce "Detroit"? :grin:

Weather or news people (or anyone else for that matter) who refer to "7 AM in the MORNING" ; over use of the prefix "pre" , e.g. "pre-existing condition", referring to a particular railroad station in New York City as Grand Central Station, ( for those not familiar with NYC, it's Grand Central TERMINAL, Grand Central Station is the NYC Subway station a couple floors below).

My current peeve/rant is the use of the word "got" as in "what you've got is...". Write it out-"What you have got is...". Let us leave got out of this. I generally abhor contractions.
My niece uses the word "like" in every other incomplete sentence. Maddening.
The locals here use "Leo-pold" instead of "Loo-pold" to name the optics.
A little education is a dangerous thing.
-
My niece uses the word "like" in every other incomplete sentence. Maddening.
That one's interesting. I remember it being around in the '70s, maybe before that. It's one that seems more related to the age of the people saying it than the era. Luckily, most kids that severely overuse it eventually stop. My kids were home schooled, but as soon as my daughter got into college, she picked up "like". It's not thoroughly ingrained, and I've pointed it out to her, so I *think* she's getting it under control. My son didn't like hearing it, and doesn't overuse it.
I assume you're also bothered by "Where's it at?" :grin:
-
Where would one hear that one? I've never heard it before.
Not regional by any means, but I did accidentally put a "'you're" in the phrase.
It's from the show The Office. I've seen it on national TV numerous times (other than the office), and I've heard people use it in public. You probably don't hang around with idiots like I do, so you don't hear it in public.

Really , common vernacular doesn't bother me much , although the over use of the F word is a disturbing trend . Now , true that the GIs returning from WW 2 more or less brought the F word into common speech , but the word has lost all of its impact . Young people seem to believe it can be used as a noun , a verb , an adverb , and an adjective , and sprinkle it into their speech in a nonsensical way .
The fookin fookers fooked
As supposedly uttered by a Scottish aircraft mechanic in WW2 , should have real meaning , not be a dumbed down way of saying my car won't start , or this T shirt is the wrong size .

I believe f*** is more commonly used by people raised in larger metropolitan areas and used in adverse conditions. It was the most often used profanity in the construction trades from my experience. I have noticed that many women use the word but not necessarily in the presence of their husband.. Me and my wife use the worst language in private but never in public conversations.
But it does still have meaning...Like flying in a plane and the engine catches fire..."We are so fucked " says it all :grin:

My French professor in college listened to all the prep-school college students saying "f*** this" and "f*** that" all the time.
It was 1973, and he had spent from 1965 to 1970 in the border country between Vietnam and Laos, teaching Montagnard tribesmen French along with weapons training so that the South forces could communicate with them as they "back-doored" the Viet Cong in North Vietnam.
He finally told the class "Yeah, I hear all of you. But I can guarantee that not one of you has really seen a "F***" situation yet. When you do, you'll know it ...."

I must more of a fossil than I thought. I had to look up the last two, and agree. Nails on a blackboard for me is seeing "your" used for "you're". I don't think it's being too lazy to put in the extra keystrokes anymore. It's ignorance.

So much here in California. I was sitting in a conference for work a while back and a presenter was a rampant uptalker. I had to go for a walk outside.
I know, right? It's like so annoying when someone vocal frys and uptalks, like all in the same sentence. You know what I mean?

You can find examples of both 'uptalk' and 'Vocal Fry' on Utube Pan.

Yeah, that's where I looked them up. Listened, and agreed with the opinions. Don't hear much of it in North Carolina. Thank God.
