Why is it so hard to say "solenoid?" I hear a lot of guys say "sillenoid." It's retarded.
Also - "alternator." WTF is an "altnator?" |

Hey, listen to the bugles, here comes the calvary
 I've heard Rick on Pawn stars say that before, also when he says, he needs to find out if an item is "real or not" well, dumb ass, it is "real" it does exist, after all you held it in your hand, maybe you just want to verify if it is "authentic" or not At an airshow once, as a pre show, these guys were flying RC Jets and someone had to say it "wow.. those things look real" and I had to say "uh.. they are real, they are just small |

I have a very quotable co-worker, over the twenty some years I've worked with him he's produced some real gems.
Sandy came over and compensated our broom. Rick is still contra plating whether we are taking the order or not. He likes his wire delivered on 24" spoils. We need someone to exceed on that machine but we're just beating up a bush. That's just spilt milk under the bridge. He's a fan of Mi toy toe (Mitutoyo) calipers. |

On the radio I constantly hear the announcer saying "warrany" instead of "warranty." It's almost as if they're all taught to say it that way in school.
There's also a radio spot where the announcer says "financing is available to assist you attain your goals." Both "assist" and "attain" are verbs. |
