Overheard in a Redneck Valley elevator
"What did you end up buying Debbie for her birthday last week?"
"A pitcher."
"A pitcher like you pour out of, or a pitcher like you hang on the wall?"

Argh! Hearing "picture" without the "c" being pronounced is one of my biggest peeves!
Wait, we have elevators in Redneck Valley?
Oh come on, someone was bound to say it anyway...
It's sad, isn't it, that I not only totally get this, but have probably participated in a very similar conversation.
Heh.
Overheard at Podunky Small Town AZ Post-Wedding BBQ
"Hey! Where's the keg?!"
No--it was a pitcher--the guy who throws the ball at the baseball game!
I've read it and read it and I still can't figure out what this all has to do with people not liking gay folks.
yeah, yeah, but imagine having to hear male after ignorant male, (along with all of their ignorant family members), explain to you that they have been diagnosed with "prostRate cancer"... day after day, month after month, year after year, you have to hear how "i had to have radiation to my prostRate".
through this post, i have discovered that even in print, the misspoken word causes me to twitch.
nilbs, i read the title the same way at first. ;)
my pet peeve... "height" pronounced "heigth". it's HIGH-T. HI-TA!
Oh my...sad thing is, I've heard that usage in Indiana (and not necessarily SOUTHERN Indiana, either, where the redneck slang does go up significantly...)
AWESOME.
Ha! This is priceless.
