People who say "Arks" instead of "ask"

it must be one of those archaic pronunciations, like when you say "ask" instead of "aks"

aks is cool. Jay-z says it.

That's how angry I get.


LOL! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!!! :D


Never heard anyone say it. Then again, I'm back in South Africa so I won't hear anyone say it again. :)

"pacific" instead of "specific"

My wife does this, it drives me MAD! She does try and correct herself now as I just take the mickey every time she says it.
 
News flash! People talk with a different dialect in different parts of the country! Come down from your ivory towers and tour the country a bit and you'll find this out for yourself!

"Dash it off"

as in dash one off ?

TBH I couldnt care less how people say things just let them do what they want. Its not like it actually matters. There is no true way of speaking English imo. If its understood who cares if they are re inventing meanings.
 
Do you mean southerners that say it with an 'r', just like northerners say gr-ass and we say it grarss?

Coz i've never heard anyone say 'arks', I can't even pro-nounce that!
 
id rather people arksed me a question than to pester me and call me "road works"* bah kids these days making up their own language/dialect :p





anyone remember that thread a while ago? ;)

:confused: LOL

Where did that come from?

As I said before, its part of a foreign pigin dialect rather than regional, except in areas with high levels of minorities where the white kids dont know how to speak English properly

No, possibly described as 'ignoring it'...

For example, if you were trying to playa-hate me but I dash it off... meaning I didn't want to give it attention

sorry i was making a childish joke.
 
Round here you usually find it's your little 12 year old scrubber white kids that go around talking all gangsta. You can pick them a mile off, baseball cap on sideways, stupid T-shirt 8 sizes too big. I think there should be a 'gangsta' shooting season !
