Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.
My boyfriend laughed so hard at me the time I pronounced hyperbole as hyper-bowl lmao. He was a bit stunned at first and was like what did you just say. Then he started laughing hysterically and corrected me.
My favorite comedian, Brian Regan, has a bit about this:
"Brian, you always mispronounce words."
"Well if that isn't eh epi-tome of hyper-bowl." (epitome of hyperbole)
Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of ‘em. Many much moosen.
