Or the "thing" as myself when my English and Italian go shortcircuit in my brain.

My father's partner, whose office was right next door to my dad's, was from England, so I used to get these British-isms all the time. He was a doctor, so one of my all time favorites was esophagus pronounced EE-so-FAY-gus. It was great. My dad didn't move to the US until, hmm, he was like in his 30s, so he was always, as he would put it, "putting the accent on the wrong syl-LAB-ul." Yes. Hours of entertainment for the young EQ.
*EE-so-FAY-gus*
(side note, my dad's partner had a Jaguar just like the one in The Equalizer - had a very strong impression on me as you can tell)

ADD-ee-dus (the shoes I'm wearing now, according to a certain redheaded Londoner)
sings:
'Oh do you remember Rick Astley
He had a great big hit, it was ghastly
He sang I'm never gonna give you up or let you down
Now I'm here to tell you that Rick's a clown'

"ADD-ee-dus EE-so-FAY-gus", this thread has turned into an Oysterhead song title generator...
and what's so wrong with ADD-ee-dus EE-so-FAY-gus?
you WAHN-kers?!

°My kid wants to be an influencer.
What the hell does that mean?
°It means I’ve failed as a parent.

I vote for PR's vitamins, but only if smudge and smax say it.
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.
