Words or Phrases that People Make Fun of You For

[preciousjeni]

My coworkers make fun of me a lot or at least ask me to repeat what I've said. I'm from Georgia, but I trained myself out of a heavy southern accent when I was in high school.

I still have hints of an accent that are pronounced up here in New York. Some of the things I say are:

Fixin to (meaning "About to")
I reckon (meaning "I figure" or "I suppose")
I like to have (meaning "I almost")

I also drop my Ts like a couple people have mentioned. The worst is my hometown "Atlanta" which comes out as "alana" when I say it.

One of the people in my office says "Know what I'm saying" ALL THE TIME. It's to the point that people count how many times she says it and announce it to those of us in the know. It's so bad that people have begun to call her "The Gnome Saying."

Hmm, well I can't think of any words I use that people make fun of me about. However, people do make fun of the way I laugh. Everyone who hears me laugh, says even if what I'm laughing at or about isn't funny, they still laugh because they always say my laughter is contagious. That's the only thing I can think of.
