"Life is skittles and life is beer."
2007-09-26 - 11:39 p.m.
I heard a woman say "dash-hound" the other day, and I had no fucking idea what she was talking about. It took me a minute or two to figure out she was referring to a dachshund. Who the hell doesn't know how to pronounce "dachshund?" It's like the word "banana," you know? I mean, everyone fucking knows how to say "banana," right? Until the other day, it never occurred to me that "dachshund" was any different. But apparently there are people who don't know, and it's just not okay. It's just fucking not. When I corrected the lady, she actually had the temerity to give me a snide look, say "I think both are acceptable," and walk away. NO, GODDAMNIT, NO THEY AREN'T, YOU FUCK WAFFLE. JESUS FUCKING GOD, WOMAN, ARE YOU RETARDED?! It was all I could do not to leap at her retreating figure and pummel her into a pulpy mess. "Both are acceptable," my fat ass, lady.And on a side note, just in case one of you sassy mcsassy pants out there finds some godforsaken dictionary that actually lists "dash-hound" as an alternate pronunciation of the word, don't tell me about it. Just fucking don't. I'm sure someone somewhere included it in some sort of half-assed dictionary, but that still doesn't make it okay. IT'S NOT OKAY, AND IT WILL NEVER BE OKAY.
