My mum used to say that!

You know, this thread is going to lead us back to some of Blanche's famous lines! There was a funy one last week but I can't remember it! Smurfy?

I hate when people say axe for ask.

Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) does that.

Talking of apostrophes, have you seen the new car called a Kia Cee'd? What letter(s) could be missing to warrant the apostrophe?

Some mispronounciations that get me especially around here are:
Chimley for chimney; cerstificte fror certificate and skellington for skeleton. Norridge for Norwich and billyon for billion are also extremely annoying.

I heard another stupid old-fashioned saying on the radio this morning, "You'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute."

Yes, that's daft. How about, 'If you've enjoyed it half as much as me, then I've enjoyed it twice as much as you'. Bizarre.
