The mangling of idomatic expressions (a minor rant and call for commiseration)

I have paid a LOT into the various Ins. Co's. and seldom ever had to get any payouts..

Good for you!
Oh along with your can and can't hardly... not just "do this" but also "wait." Someone said it last weekend, "I can't hardly wait." I just responded with, "sounds like a personal problem."

My Wife and my Grandfather both add a letter "t" to the end of the word "across" , as in "Its acrosst the street". They're both from Wisconsin so maybe its an Upper-Midwest thing, I don't know.

When my Tennessee-born Grandmother was still alive she would pronounce the L in salmon but not pronounce it in the word "bulb" so it sounded like "light bub".

No, but being from there, that really is a separate dialog of English between WI, the UP, and MN.

My wife cannot say cunnilingus, she always says cunnilicious. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot get the word right. Probably because when I first introduced her to the word, I said it was actually pronounced cunnilicious, I was messing with her and said that the g was silent, well that's not even right, but she has it stuck in her head as cunnilicious. Hope that's not too "out there" for us here.

TBH I've never had a women refer to it as cunnilingus... outside of science, I never hear the word come up. Pending any warnings from the mods, I've heard of other terms used: Rug munching, eating out, clam chowing, muff diving, tongue punching the fish taco, eating at the Y, licking the clam, box lunch, eating the fur pie, eating an egg mcmuff, tending the garden, one man band, slit licking, mustache ride... Okay, I think I'll stop now.

C'mon guys, lets try to keep this at least a little bit civil...
