Words or Phrases that People Make Fun of You For

[Ggirl617]

People make fun of me for the way I say the words button, cotton, etc. I say but-ton, cot-ton, etc

Joker. I tend to use that word more often than not.

i'm guilty of the 'dude' thing unfortunately... :-(

I say "pop" at school & get crap for it so I switch mentally to say "soda" then I say 'soda' at home and people are like wtf???

that's another thing... I say "like" in half of my sentences. My boss gets on me for that allllllll the time. It's a regular conversation for them to chastise how much we say it. Which it really does sound terrible, but you can't help how you grew up talking always without thinking about how to say things properly

I use "like" a lot, too. My parents tried so hard to stamp it out of my speech when I picked it up as a preteen, but it's still there, lurking. It comes out when I get excited or overwhelmed.

"Like" comes out for me when I try to explain [what my brain thinks are] foreign concepts to people.

Like (damn it) if I start talking about how concrete breaks in tension, I will use the l-word a lot.

It also comes out when I say a follow up thought like the one above.
