The Cozy Corner

[Nylonian]

Plant crazy is a great way to be this time of year..

I've sown my zinnia... calendra.. poppy ... nasturtium... and my sunflowers... Happy green finger chap I am

It's the reverse for us in the Southern Hemisphere. Tulip bulbs, daffodils and hellebores.

But when ... the stems rise , colour blooms tis spring . Mother nature is wonderful

I would have to snap one of my fountain pens to resist the urge...

I used to have a supervisor who called himself a connoisseur of various things except he pronounced cont-A-saur.

Never corrected him.

I would rather hear nails on the chalkboard than that

Except they probably don't have chalkboards anymore

A few of my all time favorites from my boss:

He has “golds” not goals
It’s a chimley, not a chimney

There are countless others but those are a few of the most common.

When I told my Great Aunt about someone who passed away in the ER, she would always ask, “Are they doing a topsy (autopsy). I didn’t laugh, I just felt bad.

One of my programmers thinks he's god's gift. He actually said once, "Programmers think up here" and held his hand up high above all our heads, "while y'all are thinking down here" and lowered his hand to table level.

He then went on to use the word "schema" and pronounce is as "shay-mah"

He used it. A lot. It was fabulous.

It wasn't until after he got married that he started pronouncing it correctly. His wife must like him.

Have a friend who says 'alblum'

Chimley would raise my blood pressure

It's always the most smug people who mess up the simplest of pronunciations.

When my Dad means to say boisterous he says voicetrous. My Mom always corrects him but he continues to do it. They are hilarious together.

Good morning, Cozy Crew!

Good morning Cozy Crew…raises my Alani to your coffee cups.

Now that’s something I would do. Like I make a big goofy pronunciation of pneumococcal pneumonia

pneumococcal pneumonia... now there's a sexy phrase

I always enjoy saying synaptophysin - I put it in my new provider orientations just so I can use the word

 

[Jaws82]

Morning everyone. Please pass the coffee

Anytime I have a hard time pronouncing a word, I get frustrated and yell, "ESL! DAMN IT!"

My favorite thing about March is getting to say "Gonzzzzaaaaga"

nepotism
ne = dead
pot = drugs
ism = sex

It's sex with drugged dead people.

Or drugged sex with dead people?

I love your method of analysis!

I heard his last words were, “That’s the last convertible I’ll ever ride in”.

 

[KatieKulka32]

All these jokes are in bad taste. JFK was dearly missed by many!

Just not Lee Harvey Oswald

 

[ScarletDaisy]

Maybe we should do NASA/Challenger jokes next?
