Every white boomer in America says "chipolte" instead of chipotle and it annoys the shit out of me. Like they don't even use the Americanized version of the word they just straight up say it wrong honk-enraged

Oh man, so many corny older relatives love saying "tar-zjayyy" for Target like it's funny to pronounce it like it's French for some reason

it's because French is the lingua franca of esoteric angloid douchebaggery.

Ah ouais. Le Tar-zjay, Le Kro-zjay... c'est magnifique, c'est incroyable. Allons-y, si vous plait.

my fave is to pronounce Publix as PUBE-licks. that's a crowd pleaser and if you say it front of a parent with their child, it has cascading effects.
