I love George Carlin. He was very nice in person too. I used to work at a little market in Brentwood and he'd come in all the time for bread and milk and buy us all smoothies

The expression that makes no sense to me is "behind your back". If you're behind someone, they're on your azz side. So if they're behind your back, wouldn't they be in front of you?

My husband says the word "Insteads" a lot. It sounds so funny... yet he never knows why I'm snickering.

When I lived in Puerto Rico, I dated a guy there for three years... and being that english wasn't his first language, the following incident was HILARIOUS to me...

We had been bike riding along a street, and passed a pub. Outside there are typically locals outside enjoying their drinks. When one of them wolf-whistled at me, my then-boyfriend became enraged... (This was considered very disrespectful, especially so, because he was there with me).

I remember he got off his bike, threw it to the ground and said, (and I quote) "I'M GOING TO KISS YOUR ASS!!!!"

OMG. I almost peed myself it was so funny!!!!! Well, the "ass-kissing" never happened, as I managed to convince him to continue on our little bike trip... But oh, the memories!!

I live on the gulf coast in MS. between AL. and LA. There isn't enough space or time for me to lists all the words that don't make sense, but we all know what the other is saying.

Why does cargo go by ship? and shipment go by car?

EDIT: I just noticed it was an old thread brought back up ... oh well, I guess no harm done.

'medal' is suddenly being used as a verb all over British TV

'So you'll be hoping to medal at the Olympics this year Chris'

'our swimmers are medalling really well this year'

horrific - and on the BBC too! Lord Reith must be spinning in his grave

Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

"Gotten" is a made up word that has become commonplace in the English language.
And as far as weirdness, how about;
Cough
Bough
Though
Through
???????
