Misheard Phrases.

[Cr0-Magnon]

Which ones do you come across whether it be online or not, which make you teeter between laughing and crying?

The most common one I see is "I could care less"

Also on another forum someone just used this could be a "Blessing in the skies"

Mongs saying "pacific" instead of "specific"

Mongs saying "pacific" instead of "specific"

Yes! All the damn time!

Sadly I think in the not too distant future, children won't be taught the difference. Same with you're and your.

Rest bite instead of respite....gahhhhhghhgggggg

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

Rest bite instead of respite....gahhhhhghhgggggg

A rest bite? Isn't that what Bulldogs have?

Finishing a sentence with "Sooooo.........." Insta-Hate from me for that.

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

One of the kids at my Nephews nursery would say "please subscribe" rather than bye. Transpires it's because he watches so many YouTube videos he genuinely thought that's how you ended a conversation. 

 

[THE FNG]

Finishing a sentence with "Sooooo.........." Insta-Hate from me for that.

Similar pet hate, when people say "yea" after every sentence when explaining something.

"I went down to the supermarket yea, and this girl came up to me yea. She told me there was an accident yea, asked me to call an ambulance yea."

Sorry, stop right there, turn around and kindly fuck off.

On a different tack, but it appears that something was ‘mis heard’ ......

I help out with friends who trade at shows, and was at Olympia comicon a coupe of weeks ago.

I gave some additional customer service helping a lady choose a couple of gifts, then taking card payment I offered her the opportunity to have a text or email receipt ... and of course let her know that personal data was not kept by us, her phone number was going into the PayPal machine only, and that PayPal May retain it for future payments  but we don’t. If she wants to be kept in touch then to like us on Facebook ....

as I enter her phone number, I show the screen to confirm it’s right and also show that I haven’t ticked ‘save customer details’

.... and as her phone beeps with the incoming text, she walks away with a glint in her eye and says “Oh, you could ‘accidentally call ..... name... later”

..... No I can’t - like us on Facebook like I told you to

She obviously knew you are an airsofter. Being active in the coolest hobby around drives the ladies wild!

No. She worked out that I’m a paintballer who does stuff with airsofters

The most common one I see is "I could care less"

This seems to be a US thing and no matter how many times people explain it to them, they just don't get it.

Another one is "mind your business" instead of "mind your own business".  It's just really odd when they leave out own.

Also, if you've not watched Trailer Park Boys, you need to.  One of the characters is constantly getting sayings mixed up and comes up with hilarious stuff.

Not a misheard issue (sorry), but "Know what I mean?" really rattles my cage.

Guy outside my work recently, chatting with his colleague and adding "know I mean?" to the end of  every damn sentence - and sometimes even at the start of them. Really had to bite my lip. Almost turned to him and said: "Yes, I think your mate here and everyone else is very fucking clear about what you mean - it's not that complicated!"

Honestly, getting old is a terrible thing. My patience is waning, lads ?

My mechanic also says that after EVERY sentence ?

I just nod constantly

 

[Macv276]

When I first transferred to London with my job, a young guy I worked with began almost all of his sentences with 'Raah'. I thought he was calling me 'Raul' for ages, got to the point where I couldn't be asked to correct him. Then I discovered it's a thing that kids say now. 'Rah'. Christ I'm getting old.

It's right up there with "get me doh" & "innit".

On the plus side, these fucktards make me sound intelligent ?

Back in the dark ages when we were boys, 'Rah' was our favourite utterance. Said in an adolescent husky voice and accompanied by the stroking of an imaginary catweazle type beard!

Bizarre!!
