Liqueur.

It's so delicious! but I can't say it without sounding like a douche.

i still don't know why liqueur is such a similar word to liquor. probably just to fuck with us.

Haven · 2015-07-31 05:32:32

that too.

Calica · 2015-07-31 06:30:03

this is liquor but more french sounding

It's a bitch pronouncing it to order in one of those fancy-schmancy extraplanar restaurants and the waiter makes fun of your accent, but damn if it isn't worth it.

"actually"

People use it all the fucking time when they don't need to. My dad uses it in about two out of three sentences anymore.

i do this all the time >_>

people have remarked on it so i try to do it less, but i find it really difficult to control how i say things without clamming up altogether

Odradek · 2015-08-11 18:30:34

I think it's kind of a British thing.

British people also use the word "basically" a lot iirc

Tachyon · 2015-08-11 18:41:33

could be

this will probably sound like nonsense but i don't really choose what words i use to say things, i think what i mean and then i say that however feels most natural to say it, if i stop to think about phrasing i get stuck and can't finish the sentence

and if i rehearse a sentence before saying it and choose to use certain words, i feel like it's not really a 'me' thing to say, like i'm pretending to be someone else, and like my sentiments are insincere

MetaFour · 2015-08-11 23:22:00

I said "actually" a lot as a child, because I was a huge pedant and spent a lot of time correcting other people.

Tachyon · 2015-08-11 23:34:26

i use it as filler, the same way i use 'y'know' and 'like' and 'kinda'

Salix Babylonika · 2015-08-11 23:37:23

This is sorta offtopic but can we talk about "Except that"

it is hands down the most annoying way to start a sentence.

MetaFour · 2015-08-12 00:29:48

I don't know about "hands down the most annoying" but it's certainly a strong contender for the position.

Corvina · 2015-08-14 05:35:21

This one retail shop has this horrible name: BevMo!

Yes, with the intercaps and exclamation mark

Calica · 2015-08-14 06:25:56

it stands for "beverage market"

Calica · 2015-08-14 06:26:08

how "market" becomes "mo"? i have no fucking idea

Calica · 2015-08-14 06:26:13

(it's a liquor store)

Over here the dropped h is non-standard.

We are not French.

Odradek · 2015-08-18 00:09:45

Did anyone else do that play in elementary school about the gardener named Herb who said "the H is silent you know" a lot?

Toolsie · 2015-08-18 00:11:28

It's "herb", not "urb".

Herb, of course, is the one word that does start with a H.

The entire script is online apparently.

I was the groundhog, I think.

I had to wear a wooden block with a groundhog carved on it on my neck.

I was very sad I wasn't a weed.
