Homo WHAT? You're fired, pervert

Ant, as in, well, ant.

One has to be careful.

Ant-eaters are somewhat different to aunt-eaters...

You aunt teeters? you should find a better hiding place for your gin!

[JimC]

Then, of course, there are aunt-titters, the perverted groping bastards...

In most of the USA ant and aunt are pronounced the same way.

I pronounced them the same way as most of the UK does, how do other countries pronounce aunt?.

Same as in daunting, flaunt, gaunt, haunt, jaunt, saunter, taunt, and vaunted.

I have very little use for jaunt, gaunt, and vaunted. Say flaunt and saunter 5 times. Tell me if you still have any use for them.

"Daunting"? If you want to quit then say so, you little pussy.

I don't even want to discuss "Taunt"...

Americans have trouble with ants and aunts, but that's nothing, to the mess they make of boys and buoys.

I say buoy like boo-ee. How do you guys say it?

I say it like "buoy". The p is silent.

Boy.
You don't pronounce the F.

[Robert_S]

But you do pronounce the "que", unless you're French.

[Svartalf]

What a baroque derail.

[mistermack]

I wonder if anyone has told that guy that he's a Homo Sapiens? Descended from a Homo Erectus?

Maybe not so sapiens, in his case.

[Svartalf]

Actually, he's a homo chretinus, lower on the evolution scale than homo habilis.

If you are en route, you are en route ("on root"). But no American engineer or planner ever called a route a "root" more than once, very early in his career.


In Minnesota, your Frisbee often lands on something that rhymes with "wuff!". In another life, I used to watch Hometime with my wife on lazy Sunday afternoons. They'd get busy on the ruff! trusses, lay on the ruff! decking, tack on ruff!ing felt, then apply the shingles with quality ruff!ing nails. We'd go around the house saying "Ruff!" "Ruff!" and laughing, which got the dogs all in on it...A barking good time was usually had by all, even the cats.

reminds me of that hilarious New Zealand 'dick' ad. I'll find it sometime and post it.
