27 words people widely suck at

No. 16...there are people that call rain when it's sunny "The Devil is beating his wife"?

WTF?

 

That's the only thing I've ever heard it called.

 

#22 - whats a basement?

doodle bug isn't an option?



#24 - I can't imagine Judas Priest singing "Breaking the loy, breaking the loy" nope..just doesn't work - Its LAW, not LOY, so why would you say Loy-er instead of LAW-yer

 

Because she burnt his beans.

 

I'm moving from a green spot on map #1 to a red one in about 2 weeks.

I don't care how hick-ish it makes me sound when I get there, I refuse to let that one go. If anything, there will be a little isolated patch of green in the southwest corner of that map in a couple years when they revisit these.

 

my father told me this when i was like 6 or so.

 

Y'all just feels right. I can't ever force myself to say "You Guys" instead of y'all.

 

y'all crazy!

 

Why would I "suck" at pronouncing things differently? What's in the dictionary? That's how I pronounce it. If I call something by another name, why does that mean I suck? I don't get it.

lol :

In the United States, particularly in the Southern United States, and in Hungary as well, a sunshower is said to show that "the devil is beating his wife" because he is angry God created a beautiful day. The rain is said to be his wife's tears. A regional variant from Tennessee is "the devil is kissing his wife".[4][5] In French, the phrase is "Le diable bat sa femme et marie sa fille"[6] (i.e., "the devil is beating his wife and marrying his daughter"). In the Netherlands they say that there is a "funfair going on in hell".[7] In St. Kitts and Nevis, when rain is falling and the sun is shining, it is said that 'D devil a bang he wife'.

Lots of countries refer to it as a weddings of animals...namely the fox.

 

I recently told my dad it was called a sunshower, and then he informed me that it's the devil beating his wife. Good news/bad news. I was heard of this phrase before I heard of the word sunshower, so I was amused that he termed it like that.

I don't really call any of this indicative of something wrong with America or Americans (except southerners calling soda/pop "Coke"... that's a brand, you nitwits). It shows dialect diversity among a country with a rather large surface area. China and Russia have similar things going on.

 

I always use freeway for 45,59,288. Highway would be like highway 6 or highway 3. This country is confused..

 

Wait, you guys don't use the word "rotary"?

Massachusetts truly is the only educated state in this country.

 

Who cuts grass?

 

The one I related to the most was roly poly, I've always called them that.

 

Why the heck do people call soda/pop, coke?! Coke is a freaking drink not a general term.

 

Honestly, I used to when I as little.

Then my brain developed.

 

Coke is what 90% of what restaurants srll. Just used to ordering a coke
