Dear general population,
the material used to construct our streets is asphalt.
It is pronounced ASS-FAULT, not ash-fault.
Take a good look at the spelling. When you say it wrong it makes you seem like you don’t know how to read. Saying ash-fault would only be acceptable if you are indeed illiterate. —Lover of the streets

Sucks to your assfault, Piggy.
Growing up, in a place that I can jokingly refer to as “the town that time forgot”, I heard a lot of mispronunciation – words like “chimley” (chimney), “lawnd” (lawn), “foit” (fight), “point” (pint), and, a personal favourite, the “batroom” (bathroom).
“Cousent” for cousin, “Chicargo” for that city in Illinois, “Warsh” for wash, “Serrday” for Bean night and “The Lord commands you to take up serpents” for what you do the morning after Serrday
… and my favourite of all time was the local politician who said on the radio,”People bin makin’ alligations … and I knows who them alligators are!”.
WHO THE f**K CARES!!!!

My comment above was false. I mean, I had to do something with this bitch.
So how is asbestos pronounced? In certain parts they pronounce it like “assbestest” as in the very juvenile joke my friend told in junior high……
Sherrif Matt Dillon: “Festus, what do you like the bestest?
Deputy Festus: “Why Matt, I likes ass bestest!”
hehehhehehe… I’m with Festus!
It’s pronounced ash-fault, ass-fault is the bastardized version. Am I allowed to say “bastardized”? Am I allowed to say it twice?
Mmmmmmm . . . bitumen . . .
Up-Chuck McGagger,
It ain’t my fault you got no flava, it’s ya own stupit ‘ass fault’.
You’re one of those aluminium types, are ya?
