Don’t forget the bizarre “r” into everything like drawring, the lawr, etc.
LotrOrc@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Thats more American in my experience That and completely dropping entire parts of words for absolutely no reason I can understand
Ex. Comfortable somehow becomes comftable. Drawer becomes drawr. Wednesday becomes wensday

People (I’m in the US) are pretty much always astonished to realize, when I ask them to say the word “important”, that they more often than not will pronounce zero of the T’s in the word, when I point it out that they didn’t.
It always really stuck out to me as a kid when Shawnee Smith (probably most famous for the Saw movies now), on the old sitcom Becker, would always enunciate the T’s in that word—that’s what made me realize how weird it was that everyone wasn’t saying it that way, lol.

I’ve only ever heard that “added r” thing when watching BBC stuff. Can you link me to some Americans saying drawring instead of drawing, for example?
LotrOrc@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Huh thats really interesting ive never heard that on BBC
Its all over the place in New England especially in MA
waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The added r shows up in American Midland dialect. Wash becomes warsh, etc
ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
That’s called an intrusive R
damnedfurry@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Apparently, there’s some sort of linguistic exchange program within British English where T’s are traded out for R’s, and then a persistent logistics issue causes the R’s to be distributed incorrectly.

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about this important issue… I wonder what Susie Dent thinks of it.

Haha no spices
That joke comes from yanks who are used to drowning their food in sugar syrup to mask the taste of underage mexican day labourer blood.

Or “bad teeth”
I lived in the UK for a while and what shocked me most was the ads for tooth care products.
Where I’m from they are like “Fresh breath all day long” or “Keeps your teeth white”. In the UK they were like “Mouth wash can prevent tooth loss”.

My favorite to poke at is treating anything with a blade on it like it’s a deadly weapon with no other purpose.
Can’t have a locking pocket knife.
There was a group that wanted to ban pointed kitchen knives.
Had a dude tell me he doesn’t carry an axe or saw when camping because it “might scare passersby”
Photos of police “hauls” that show screw drivers and hammers as “deadly weapons that don’t belong on the streets”
So it’s at least 4 jokes.
