Yard Bird and Yard Egg (Annoying Food Words)

It drives me nuts when someone says chicken as ""shickon" as if that's the French or Cajun way to pronounce chicken. It's poulet dammit.

Also, rednecks saying cooshon-de-lait. It's Cochon-de-lait

For some reason this saying, be it spoken or written, irritates me. Why, I don't know. Same goes for the words "gnosh" and "maven".

Gnosh I'm good with. It's Yiddish.

Maven reminds me of all the beer thread nerds who throw a royal shite fit when you say Ghost in the Machine tastes like a mango soaked in Clorox, and an orange rind you've wiped your arse with.

I got curious and did an extensive, in-depth, 5-minute Google search. Apparently "maven" is also derived from Yiddish. Sensing a disturbing pattern here, I searched the origin of "nom nom". Turns out the phrase is generally attributed to none other than Cookie Monster, whose voice actor was Frank Oz, formerly known as Frank Oznowicz, son of a Jewish father who fought the Nazis.

I'm going to go drink some Miller Lites and say some prayers about my unintentional anti-semitism.

Do you know what a hasa is, BR? A hasa is a Yiddish word for a pig that don't fly straight.

If someone tells me they make a "killer" anything, I just think "No thanks".

And a dessert is "to die for". No, it isn't, sorry.

Drives me nuts when someone invites us over for "BBQ" only to get there and find out they're doing it in the oven and then to top it off, drowning it in Kraft Original BBQ Sauce. You're not BBQ'ing mfer! You're baking chicken!

Rustic must be hipster for I'm too fricking lazy to dice the vegetables.
