Just watch and hope you don't hear yourself.

A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Black folks around my home town say conversate instead of converse.

i dont remember, but he invented some completely new word instead of "axed", and claimed black people said this "all the time"
needless to say, it was lame, and he sortof pwned himself with it

One of my "cringe words" is "complected".  It is light complexioned or dark complexioned.

in norwegian there are two words that always make me cry,
one is "initiative", norwegians CAN NOT SAY it... ive heard maybe 1 or 2 people say it correctly my entire life...
they say anything BUT initiative "inshinative" "ishniative" inshinshative" where that "sh" comes from is beyond me, in norwegian it doesnt have "sh", its pronounced "inisiativ" exactly.

the other is "dedicated", they always, always, always say "desidated"...............
ive even seen movies, where in the intro it says "desidated to . . " someone, an ENTIRE MOVIE CREW didnt notice.......................

I got 4 out of 5 correct on the quiz but that sounds as bad as Louisiana Cajun language butchery.  :thumbdn:

The Pittsburgh accent is just lazy, but it is distinct.

thing is they make up their own words here  ::)

just change any "ou" to "au",  and all T's become D's. Wash becomes "worsh" Down becomes "Dahn"

reminds me of a cross between boston and west virginia

annoys the fuck outta me

Sounds like there's a dash of Philly thrown in there too.
