Things Which Are Annoying (AKA Stop Pronouncing Words Like a Cunt)

I met someone today called Tuppence. That's right, Tuppence. This might be a good name, for say, a Dickensian love interest, or a Hobbit, but for a human being in the 21st century it did nothing but remind me of Britain's still rigid class system. It also didn't help that she was a complete asshole. Someone told me also that there is a reasonably famous actress called 'Tuppence Middleton,' That's not cool. 

Neither are people who say 'cringe'  - it's a stupid word said by stupid people.

Let's not forget adults who describe food as 'yuckie.' Grow the fuck up.

While I'm on the topic, I'm getting pretty sick of the way that some people pronounce words in this country. A friend makes fun of the way that I say 'Cancer,' and I hate the way that some people pronounce:

'Cous cous' as KOOZ KOOZ

Sushi as SOOSHI

Dance as DAHNS

Tonga as TONG-GAH, even if a genuine Tongan person is there telling them how to pronounce it properly.

Horrible as 'ORRIBLE

Buffet as BUFF-FAY, because that's EXACTLY how French people say it.

All of these are excusable except the kind of assholes who say them are usually posh pricks on a train who speak far too loudly when you're too hungover to function anyway. Don't be a prick, and if you are, pronounce words properly. Fuck you.

Also troubling is the continued use of MA-REE-YO, instead of Mario, in Super Mario ads. He's italian for fucks sake. Stop saying it like that. 

Other than that, hope everyone is fine.
