At church, they read the part where Jesus heals the leapers.

"Never take your friends for granite."

"It's alright, Alex. I know you're not made of stone."

We’ll always have the time we heard a podcaster pronounce the name of the town “Stroke-on-Tent”.

swim away fugu fish, swim away!

Omg it's from 2008. Half my lifetime ago.

I don’t overreact to things I can tell are regional dialects and whatnot. But I recently watched a movie review where the guy pronounced linear as “li-nEAR” and I was the personification of the double take white guy meme. Never heard that one before. And he kept using it throughout, so, somehow, this 30ish year old man has never been corrected. I think everyone that knows him might be playing a cruel joke.

I misdispronounciate words as a hobby.

My mind still reads it 'foogoo'. Just because I correct it in speech doesn't mean my mind knows and yearns for a better way.

Just looking at the word I would definetly read ir as fugu.

Looking at the Wikipedia article, it says it's pronounced fjug. Like what happened to the u and e.

Pretty mainstream. When I was a kid most people struggled to learn how to laugh these things off. These days if you speak on any platform it's a good idea to have some mispronunciations because it catches peoples attention. Even if it's the only thing they'll talk about as long as you're good natured about it you've made progress.

What else are friends for!

I keep accidentally saying innuendo and having to apologize because they happen in inappropriate situations.

I just can't help when it pops up.

Haggis and fugu, that's food for cult eaters
Jim Jones, Father Yod, Charles Manson, they're cult leaders

I mean, there's Bababooey.
