When you're on a social media blackout because you don't want to get your hopes up over an event you know will be strung out for weeks or months in court, and your goddamn phone beeps a news alert at you. Fuck you, phone, do you know what my heart did just then?
Actual Conversation in the Aria-@insomniac7809 Household This Morning:

Of all the dumb names Bostonians have for stuff nothing bugs me quite as much as calling ground beef 'hamburg'.
Like, I can get over frappe and honey dip and dungarees and getting all gay panicky when I call a plastic bag a 'sack' (true story), but I just can't get past hamburg. It's so dumb.

@TheOnceler I've somehow missed that one.

Yeah, or made-up words like 'de-thaw', 'mischievious', and 'irregardless'.

@Ganymede I have a friend who says "supposably" and it drives me up the wall.

My mom says 'libary'. I cringe every time.

That's a real word though.
Just saying.
Supposably and supposedly are used differently depending on whether something has been supposed or could be supposed, so depending on context they may or may not be using it correctly.

Not quite the same thing as you're all talking about, but I think I'm the only person in this region who, when telling a story, isn't compelled to preface a self-quote in a story by saying, "So I said to her, I said," like frigging Foghorn Leghorn.
