My favorite idiom is "If Life Gives you lemons, say fuck the lemons, and bail"

 

Made famous by the abominable Paul Rudd

 

I mean, it feels like bragging but I knew all of these idioms so far.

Then again, I'm still haunted by not being knowing how to spell the word drawer while writing a paper in high school and then after I got home I asked my dad how to spell it and he told me and I wanted to lock myself in my room for the rest of the night.

 

How'd you spell it?

 

probably like "drooerer" or something. Like, I knew it was wayyyy wrong and even wrote "drawer" but I kept looking at it like "it doesn't sound like that, why would it be spelled like that?!"

 

Why are we spoilering my husbands name

 

In case nobody has seen that movie and because I used the word abominable, ya know like the snowman instead of Paul Rudd

 

Not really the same but similar but I remember in 1st grade I had the hardest time trying to say the word "toward"

I could spell the fuck out of it but couldn't pronounce it

 

“Damn, I spelt the fuck out of that word.”

 

When I was a kid I thought pretzels were prenzels

 

Fuck you James, I've always been a good speller eventhough the only test I got caught cheating on was a spelling test

 

What’s a shelling test?

 

Correct

 

I am a decent speller despite what my posting style may indicate but the word acquaintance will always get me. I was always the go to person to ask how to spell things at work but I am 4ever bitter I never won a spelling bee.

 

I never even attempted a spelling bee, I'm better at looking and setting something doesn't look right as opposed to thinking about it and trying to spell it out loud if that makes sense

 

I am a victim of drawer too. Mine was a different fail though and at a much later stage. In the foreword of my master's dissertation, I wrote a thank you to my supervisor and tried to make a joking reference to the drawer of scrap paper we had used liberally throughout our meetings. I spelled it 'draw' instead.

It was the last thing I wrote in that fucking paper and it's the first thing anyone will read. Pretty sure it's still published on the university's website for all to see.

As for idioms, I spent a long time thinking that toe the line was tow the line. I thought it referred to pulling your weight, when actually it means standing to attention.

 

I know someone who wrote it out as "in tents and purposes". Now THAT caused some serious internal bleeding from some damn hard laughing.

 

oh ok Colby I thought we were friends

 

I never mean G Lemons bby

 

Maybe they were big campers

 

i was going to make an edit to make sure people knew i didn't just put a space in between the words, glad people got it :)

what was hilarious is they thought the saying literally meant that "people went into tents with purpose". what fucking kind of saying would that be.

 

k
