English booboos

My friend, Jayce and I have been having these really crazy (and super fun) sessions of talking abt ways of mangling the Engish language. Don't get us wrong, I mean, Jayce and I have our own share of bloopers... but i don't know, for some reason, it sure is always fun talking abt grammatical errors committed by virtually anyone! Here are some examples:

"You know jumping jack? You know... jumping jack... when you open the box, the Jack will jump?
aaaaaaahhhh... okay... Jack-in-the-box!!!

Super coño girl with super-lupit twang during a job interview; sharing a ghost story: "Oh my gawd!!! It was like so scary, it gave me the CRAPS!!!"
Guess what... She didn't make it (err, surprise?!)

Girl describing the price of a super expensive item "Imagine! The price was like a whooping *blah-blah* pesos!
hmmmm... burger king must've named their super big burger wrong...

Psycho/Stupid ex on KFC menu: "Ano ba yan?! 2-pc chicken?! Hello?! 2 nga e! Kaya dapat 2-pcs chicken!!!
iodized salt, anyone?

Same Psycho/Stupid ex on the letter H: "Ewan ko ba, yung ibang tao... ang arte-arte... pa "eych, eych" pa... Sabi ng Mama ko, "ech"!
Errr... more iodized salt???

Physical Education teacher's notes -- written on Manila paper for the whole class to see: BALL RETREAT BEAR
When pointed out by good-looking, smart student **wink, wink*** teacher says "BALL RETRIEVER"
Pagbigyan nyo na... PE teacher nga e!

Music teacher with fi and ep depect when asked on how to differentiate the minor from the major keys: "Yes, they're dipperent."
Okay... if you say so...

To be continued...
