"Oral" Blunder

I was sitting in the dentist's office this afternoon waiting for him to come in and do what he does best when I noticed a box sitting on the counter that was labeled (by hand) "Mental Impression Trays" :shock: I had no idea that we could put " Mental Impressions" in a tray!! Or t...

BD-

"Don't say (ugh) PEEK-in." Your right, BD, I wouldn't want anyone "PEEK-in" at me either. Especially at night! :oops:

Aaww, BD, don't feel that way. You were just being honest..and sooo funny (and of course thinking out loud). :wink: Bailey, I must have quarked off into the twilight zone or something- it took me a breif moment to get the "canopy" bit. :oops: I have'nt heard that one before. That's a good ...

Pecan

I was wondering, how do most of you pronounce the word "Pecan"? This has been a debate in my house since I've met my southern husband. I have noticed that the dictionaries say it can be pronounced either way. So, I have come to understand that it is all in the geographical region. My grand...

stargzer- It may seem like a mixed bag. The only thing about that is the locals all agree on pronunciation(Lom-poke) .We always took the Chumash Indinan's word for it. They still have strong roots in the community and an active tribe there,(a great casino,too!) for they are the ones who named the pl...

BD, your quick! LOL That remindes me of when I was going to church in CA. Our youth group went out to eat one night after church. When our meal came, one of the guys started to bow his head to say the blessing, picked up a piece of lettuce off his salad plate and said, "Lettuce rejoice unto the...

That reminds me,the town that I was born in is called Lompoc. I lived there 20 years. It is a Chumash Indian word meaning something about where the river runs (the Santa Yenez river). When people see the name Lompoc(pronounced Lom-poke) they pronounce it Lom-pock. Well, that's fine if you don't know...

BD- how may languages do you know fluently? You are right about the spelling. I wonder if it is because English is compiled of so may other languages. It's the French stuff that I can never get my mind around.(Sorry stargzer but it's true) I seem to grasp the concept of Spanish (a little of the Cast...
