Mangled Words and Sayings

[Rekamlias]

Just heard someone say:

I've done it so often I took it for granite. (granted)


How about:

That's a long road to hoe. (row)

The quarterback did a shuffle pass. (shovel)

A Dusty Dawn light. (dusk to dawn)



you got any?

A long rode to ho.
It is not mispronounced it is misspelled.
Rode is a length of chain and rope that is put out from the ship to the anchor. A long rode is required when it is windy or stormy. To pull a rope on a ship is to ho. Hence the term “Heave Ho” the group will advance on the rope on the command Heave and pull on the command Ho. If it is stormy and or windy the long rode to ho is hard work.

When I was younger I used to sing "for the Bible tells me so, little once to Him belong" instead of "little ones to Him belong."

Good ones!

Another common one:
"Idear" "Idea" mispronounced with an R on the end

 

I've heard another variation of this one. It is ideal, instead of idea.

Another commonly mispronounced word is Nuclear. It is commonly mispronounced as, "Nucular."

Spell check can be fun at times.

I recently posted Amos 3:3 on my blog. 

It should have read,  "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
Instead, it read, "Can two walk to get her, except they be agreed?"

LoL

iPhone spell checks are the worst for that! Once I was texting a friend, and tried multiple times to write the word 'feminism'. Silly thing kept auto-correcting to 'demonism'. Hmm...

Now, when I was unsaved, I might have argued that the two meant the same thing. LoL

In the song "Jingle Bells", there is a phrase that says, "one horse o-pen sleigh", to which, until after I got married, and my wife 'caught me', I always sang "one horse soffin sleigh".

On the road to port azyore...hallelujah.

 

At least, when I was little, I thought that's what it said instead of "Michael, row the boat ashore". Never could figure out what "azyore" was.
