Say that again...???

On a lighter note, I was cleaning out my Yahoo mail Inbox and found this forwarded email from my friend Judee. This really makes me laugh. Sometimes people want to sound smart and try to use words or phrases that they’ve only heard from other people but don’t actually know. The result: embarrassing flubs.


"Guys, let's call it tonight!"
"All of a suddenly..."
"C'mon! Let's get it on with it!"
"When it rains, it's four."
"Thanks God!"
"The nerves!" or "The nerd!"
"The idea crossed at the back of my mind."
"(name of person), eat your hat out!"
"This is our rooster of clients..."
"The more the many-er."
"It's a no-win-win situation."
"Burn the bridge when you get there."
"Annulled and void."
"Mute and academic."
"C'mon let's join us!"
"If worse comes to shove."
"Are you joking my leg?"
"It's not my problem anymore, it's your problem anymore."
"What are friends are for?"
"You can never can tell."
"Well, well, well. Look do we have here!"
"Let's give them a big hand of applause."
"Been there, been that."
"Forget it about it."
"It's a blessing in the sky."
"Right there and right then."
"Where'd you came from?"
"Take things first at a time."
"You're barking at the wrong dog."
"You want to have your cake and bake it too."
"First and for all…"
"Now and there."
"I'm only human nature."
"That's what I'm talking about it."
"One of these days is not like the other."
"So far, so good, so far."
"Time is of the elements."
"In the wink of an eye."
“You’re such a slow folk.”
"The feeling is actual."
"For all intense and purposes."
"I ran into some errands."
"Hi. I'm (state your name), what's yours?"
"What is the world is coming to?"
"What is the next that is?"
"Get the most of both worlds."
"Whatever you say so."
"Base-to-case basis."
"My answers have been prayered."
"Please me alone!"
"It's as brand as new."
"So... what's a beautiful girl like you?...."
"I can't take it anymore of this!"
"Can't you just cut me some slacks?"
"I couldn't care a damn!"
"What's your next class before this?"
"Nothing in this world is perfect except the word change."
"Can you repeat that for the second time around once more from the top?"
"Standard & chartered bank."
"I'm very iterated!"
"I'm sorry, my boss just passed away." (translation: her boss just passed by.)
"Hello, my boss is out of town, would you like to wait?"
"What happened after the erection of Mayon Volcano?"
"Don't touch me not!"
"Hello... for a while, please hang yourself..."
"It's spilled milk under the bridge."
"Don't change anything! Keep it at ease."
"Bring down the house down!"
“Get out of me!” (translation: get away from me)
