like sure, i get it, if we're at the big game and i'm cheering GOOD JOB TEAM! and my wife gets up to get me hot dogs and then says "what do you want on your sandwich?" then yeah, i'm going to have a bit of a puzzled look on my face when i say "just mustard" but she wasn't wrong to call it that

i was making my list of top 10 weirdest words and i was very surprised to see on that list the word akinetopsia. I just really didn't see that one coming.

I always get tripped up trying to spell this one. This word is so tricky to spell that I once met a person named Guage (pronounced "Gage").

I just used this word in the KC Restaurant Suggestions thread and was thinking the same thing! I guess two time fattyfest championship teammates think alike.

White people names
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Are you referring to the thing that you put stuff in and it goes back and forth, or are you referring to one who draws?

the more i think about it, the more i realize i pronounce it drore.  that's a v good one.

almost kinda has a j sound in there too, like how i say "drawer" is very similar to how i say "juror"
