btlzu2's Journal: i have to fess up...

...it's true. there is no way in hell i can ever say the word, "colloquialism". I just can't say it--when it comes to that word, I'm permanently drunk. CO-LO-KWEE-AHL-ISM That's the only way I can do it, can't use it in conversation because I have to stop and think about it phonetically.

perhaps i could actually say it when i'm drunk--must remember to try! :D

Luckily our wonderful language has fifty other words that are much like this word and easy to pronounce! Try one of these instead:

slang
jargon
vernacular
argot (wow a new word I hadn't heard before today; isn't this a corn fungus???)

What about you...
