‘Sorry,’ she said while swiping my student ID card a third time (after four years, the magnetic stripe tends to wear down, making scanning a chore).
‘Oh, it’s no prubble,’ I replied.
PRUBBLE? WTF?
(I couldn’t decide to say ‘problem’ or ‘trouble,’ so apparently I figured I would compensate by saying both. AT THE SAME TIME. Sheesh.)

I say “Gool” a lot.
As in, “How’d it go?”
“It was gool.”

This has happened plenty of times at church while lining up to eat bread:
PRIEST: Body of Christ…
ME: Am-thank you!

I was going to add the definition to Urban Dictonary on your behalf, but alas, like everything it seems, it’s there

in the same way that prussia makes me think of russia (though the two aren’t related), prubble makes me think of barney rubble.

Confuzzled. Confused & puzzled. I do it a lot. Accidentally, too.

I think that mouthful of cream cheese the other day may have garbled the word “bagel” into some sort of gibberish…
Marz
I tend to say ‘confuzzlepated’. Confused, puzzled and.. uuh.. (mentally) constipated.
At least it beats saying those words separately. You saved yourself some time.
Faffi
Hey, love the site and colours! Stylish! You take really nice pictures by the way.
Gena
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one with the occasional pronunciation problem. Sometimes I say “he” when I want to say “she” and vice versa.
Rachel
Haha. Good stuff…
Molekine…really, most people just say mole-skin. But the proper obsessors go by the original Italian pronunciation, mole-eh-skeen-a.
Erin
You and your ID have been together for 4 years? What’s your secret?
Rachel
well, for the first two years, i kept it on my keychain. now i carry it in a pocketbook with my money.
don’t be impressed though; it’s quite decrepit.
Rachel
Yeah, good point. I’ve had mine for a little over a semester and it’s already tearing at the corner.
As a matter of fact, when mine wouldnt scan at the caf the other day, the food service lady actually pulled a chunk of the corner off. Thanks lady.
Amber
I like to tell people to either have a nice “nay” or have a good “dight” at work.
Sapphire
Looks like spam is taking a liking to your urine evocation design too. Better whip up another one quick or suffer the wrath of penis enlargement and breast amplification next. Unless of course, you are secretly a man or lacking ample bosoms.
Erin
That’s still quite impressive. I’ve already had to replace mine and it’s only been a year and a half.
Emma
Well, gruel!
