huh-larry-us

I love words when they are mispronounced, or exaggerated, or just used in a silly way. Something about that just makes me giggle. Take for instance the Pink song where she's talking about how she doesn't fit it, and isn't pretty, and people hate her... Oh yeah right, that's like every Pink song... Well, in this song, whose name I have no idea, she says the word "irritating" in the funniest way -- She pronounces it Eh-Rah-Tay-Ting, with a kind of Mass accent, like Mayor Quimby on the Simpsons. Can you hear it? Eh-rah-tay-ting. Eggzactically folks, now you hear it. And listen carefully, because in the public liberry you will hear the English language bastardized on a semi-frequent basis. It's just huh-larry-us, just ax anyone!

And speaking of songs with mispronunciation, and misuses, what about that Darkness song "one way ticket to hell and back."?!? Maybe its just me, but that sounds like a round trip!
