I was billeting a rugby player from England a few years ago. He and I went to a local bar in Canada to meet up with a few friends of mine from the team.

When he ran out of smokes, he approached a guy at the bar who no one knew and said,

"Can I bum a i love you?"

You see in England, "i love you" is a slang term for a cigarette. 😀

Anyone else have good ones...
 
i think a lot of people know that.


things that bug me are:

"couldn't care less" as "could care less"
"voila" as "whalla" or something equally gay
"could/would have" as "could/would of"
"might as well" as "mind as well"
"yea or nay" as "yay or nay"

Sorry to break it to you but that is how it is pronounced.

yea = sounds like day

Well, duh, but that doesn't let you misspell it. If you started using that argument and spelling everything as it was pronounced, no one would be able to figure out wtf you were writing.

I assumed he intended those as pronunciations. What kind of moron would actually write any of those?

"your" instead of "you're"
 
I think it's strange how people from the east coast call water "warter", and the like.

And people in Indiana don't pronounce the G in "strength", so they say "strenth".
