My best friend has said this since we were 6 years old and it drives me INSANE. She also says melk instead of milk and even though she knows it's like nails on a chalk board to me, she insists on calling soda "pop".

Does she use the long "A"? "Paaap". I used to have a friend who said "Paaap" and I teased her and then the tables turned when I asked for some "wooder".

No, if she had a Boston accent it might be acceptable. But we're from the south and there's just no excuse for it.

Kind of crazy that I came here and found this post right after seeing the exact same complaint from a friend on Facebook. I had no idea this was such a wide-spread phenomenon.

And thanks to being on tour I've found that I'm really good at adjusting to local preference in regards to the whole soda/pop/soda-pop issue. Except for that patch in the south where everything is Coke, I've never been able to wrap my mind around that one.

LOL. The thing that drives me nuts is when people say "I seen that." At least three people in my office do.

I think I mat have mentioned this before but when I was in HS I had a friend who always said "ideal" instead of "idea".

I actually had a co worker insist that the word was "crouch" and not crotch.

Bigger question: Why were you discussing crotches with your coworker?

I have a feeling there is a message board somewhere with someone posting:

"I actually had a co worker who every time I would talk about crouching down she'd inevitably start going on about crotches!"

Patronus - Supposably is the MOST irritating to me.
A former boss said it all the time and it drove me up a wall.

I've never heard anyone say Valentimes before. I must be lucky!

These are all very annoying, I'll admit. But, the one that gets me the most, is when say ATM machine or PIN number. It's as if they have no clue what those letter stand for or that they are being redundant by saying them.

I know not why it drives me up a wall, but it does.

lol Patronus! We were friendly because we both took the same bus from Jersey City to Manhattan, and we did tons of girl and guy talk. But get this - she also said "supposably"

I actually got a text from the hubby this morning wishing me a Happy Valentimes day...but it's a joke we perpetuate.

I just add it to the death/deaf pile of malaprops, which all annoy me.

Though, nothing bothers me more than using "anyways".
