It perplexes me that we got on the topic of toilets more than once, but for the love of God, it’s pronounced ‘toy-let’ , not ‘tah-lut’. I’m developing a tick from flinching everytime I hear or think of you saying it..

C’mon everyone knows it’s pronounced tur-lit. I know cause Archie Bunker says so.
OB, where were you years ago when that Brimley chap was going around telling people with diabeetus how to get testing supplies? Now half the world thinks it’s pronounced diabeetus.
So call it a ‘shit sucker’ instead.
samiches and pasghetti are my favourite maritime lunches. I was it down with Beep! fruit drink.
Cranky FYI it’s sangitches 😛
tur-lit is the correct term also jebus and chowda and it is samiches
Banana Republic has some nice karky pants.
I like to relax on my chesterfield in front of the fireplace but my chimley needs to be cleaned.
Walmark has some good deals on, but I’m saving up for a trip to Chicargo.
It sure is noice out.
Wija-dija: “Ya brought yer wife wija-dija?”
Y’etyet: “I’m getting hungry. Y’etyet?”
Never Wrong: it’s “j’eetjet?” followed by “na, twerly tw’eet”.
I’m sure we could clear up all of this pronunciation debate with a quick trip to our local libary.
libeery, and they have free commuters which is noice
Swist Chalet in Chicargo is some tastey too.
At work we call it the pisser, except of course when you have to go to the shitter .

At my old job, people called in with problems with their “Sony Erection/Eraser/Excursion” phones on a regular basis.

Ah, Barrin’ton…the only word in the English language with 1.5 syllables. And the accent didn’t get any better on Cape Island. My best friend’s mom used to date a guy from Cape Island and I could never understand him. It might have helped if he had teeth.
