    My mother says "tah'l" for towel. I have absolutely no idea where she gets that from. Never heard anyone else say that in my life.

    Oh, and any Bah'stin pronunciations. I want to rip my ears off every time I hear someone speak with that accent.

    I like to swap "i said" for "i goes".

    So il say "and i goes you cant eat that!"

    When I lived in Pennsylvania years ago, people would use "Yins guys" as in, "Yins guys want to go to the movies with us?"

    YOU GUYS, perhaps? Thanks.

    Drove me up a WALL.

    "I seen" makes me want to punch people.. And using "them" when referring to objects: "Where did you get them socks?"

    Nook-you-ler instead of nuclear... :explode:

    "getting my hair did." :noway:


    And, as I work at the Renaissance Faire, another pet peeve is when people try to get in character by adding "eth" to every single word, not just to singular verbs:
    "We justeth arrivedeth at thy faireth village..." Aaarrrgh!
    (For the record, it's he/she arriveth, we arrive, they arrive, he/she hath arrived, we have arrived, they have arrived...)
    But at least those people have the excuse that they're trying to speak an unfamiliar dialect. There's no excuse for people butchering their own native language!

    I love a good Boston accent. It sounds like home.

    This is a bad one. But instead of saying "retard" my kid and my husband say "Ruh-tard" like you hear in the movie "The Hangover" And yes I think it's bad to call anyone retarded.
