Girl on top equals a girl baby.

Just in case we always do doggie to be safe.

And I have 2 sons so it's legit perhaps.

Autocorrect has nothing to do with it. It's the same people who thing "sell" and "sale" are synonymous.

Nip it in the butt (I think it sounds better but I know it's bud)

My co-worker said at a meeting he was tired of the mediocracy of our crew at work. No one corrected him so after the meeting I said to him "I don't see a lot of mediocracy at work but I see a lot of mediocrity." His face turned beat red after he realized he kept saying mediocrity wrong.

Penultimate - misused
Peruse - misused
Incongruous - commonly mispronounced as in-congress
Forbidden / verboten - misused

And the classics-
There / They're / Their
We're / Were / Weir
Where / Ware / Wear
It's / Its

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go use the turlet.

I've always found it humerus when a stripper refers to a Benny/Benjamin ($100) as one of the presidents.

I posted this a few weeks ago, but to be fair, I ripped it off from someone who posted it a few years ago on here. I can tolerate most of these, but when I see pre-madonna on here, it makes me go apeshite.

quote:

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

"oldtimers"
I hate when people put "the" in front of something like.. "the sonic" "the walmart".

This lady who use to be the secretary in the office I worked in was horrible with words. It was a bad idea for someone to call and she be the first person they would talk to because she would frick up some words. So this isn't as much of a "misused phrases as it is using the wrong word.

One day she asked me about someone I am friends with, whose family she knew and she said "How is _____________? She has done good for herself. She graduated Crown Victorian and everything". I had to hold a straight face during that conversation, but after I was away from her I couldn't stop laughing... Because when she first said it I was thinking "Crown victorian? WTF is she talking about?" This it hit me & I thought "Wait.. She means valedictorian!"..
