I don`t find it too funny but that first tweet wa definitely a dick move.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
You make it OTT enough, and people get that you're trying to make a joke. But the first tweet was pretty damn generic, you know? And even people/publications that claim to be satirists do occasionally communicate things that are meant to be taken as truth.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, that first tweet with nothing else practically begs the reader to freak out, especially with all the terrorism consciousness that's been drilled into America over the last 10 years. Maybe if they'd reversed the order of the first two tweets -- maybe.

I am (now) allergic to Bactrim too. I used to use it, but now I get hives.

My sleep psych took a few minutes to write down krav maga. Now, it's eight letters, and I enunciate well.
You know, it occurs to me I don't know how to pronounce krav maga.
My roommate who did it pronounced it with "ah" sounds, and emphasis on the last syllable: krahv mahGAH. Is that right?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I guess I'm a little oversensitive on people taking The Onion seriously - had another go 'round with the girl in my office who seems to think it's a serious news source. She can't figure out why I won't post their stories on our website.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Raq, I think it's closer to kruhv m'GAH. That penultimate "a" is totally swallowed.

I often spell Lucius as Luscious--had to correct it just now. Which has led to some interesting Internet discussions of the elder Malfoy. Fortunately, I think he is.
My mother always pronounced the name Nelson as Neltson. Always. My sisters and I had great fun mocking her.

Compassionately intolerant
My step-mother pronounced the word 'embroidery' as emBOYdry and 'shrimp' as srimp.
You'd be amazed how often those two words came up in conversation and how annoying it could be.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My father cannot EVER pronounce the drug Ambien properly, even though he's taken it for years. He always, every time, says "ambience." Not on purpose; that's just the word that got installed in his brain first, and it wins every time
Well drugs are named in ways that lend themselves to other words. Marketing and psychology, yo. Which, in our post-Harry potter world makes Levitra funny to me.
I don't think I ever type psychology or psychic without mentally thinking P - S - Y. I just did it twice. I can type physics without mentally spelling ... Oh, no, I can't. Dammit. But it's at a lower volume. p - h - y - s and not P - S - Y. Huh, learn something new about yourself every day, apprently.
