I completely...(Stopping by from Multiples and More)<br />I completely agree about "green." It is over-used until do we even know what it means anymore? <br />My husband loves chipotle, so I am well-versed on how to pronounce it.

This is ...(Stopping by from Multiples & More!)<br /><br />This is a great post. I'm laughing at your youthful confusion over the word "ambivalent", and how that still haunts you today. I mispronounced the word "canoe" when I was a kid...I just couldn't get the correct pronunciation in my head. I still pause ever-so-slightly to ensure I'm saying it correctly.<br /><br />And I've never thought about it, but I agree that the word "puke" really shouldn't be used in the same sentence as one's sweet little baby. :)MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-13423281789114676212010-07-23T03:41:07.888-08:002010-07-23T03:41:07.888-08:00I have the same issue with chipotle, and I even sp...I have the same issue with chipotle, and I even speak Spanish! I'm always afraid I'm going to sound ridiculous by putting too much of a Spanish pronunciation into it. Oh, and with you on the "green" thing too.<br /><br />I hate the word "supple". For some reason, it just sounds dirty and immoral.

It's super yummy!! My kids even like it...it's a very mild fish that you put breading on. I just dip it in egg whites, then italian-seasoned panko crumbs and pan fry in canola oil and they are super yummy!!!<br /><br />I still haven't figured out chipotle...such a wierd word.<br /><br />I'm guilty of saying "puke"...just the topic alone makes me wanna hurl but the word "vomit" to me sounds purely disgusting. I knew a friend in colleg who used to actully say the word "vomit" when she puked.

When I was in high school, I worked at a Friday's, and I abhorred ever having to say "chipotle"<br /><br />I wasn't <i>sure</i> how to pronounce it (because no one was going around blabbering the word yet), and I was too embarrassed to ask anyone <i>how</i> to, so I used to just end up stuttering ch-ch-ch-chi-podel (rhymes with yodel), at which point customers would usually give me a quizzical look.Kristina @ MamaDivas.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683938086154137754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-40089038224516221892010-07-20T05:19:50.433-08:002010-07-20T05:19:50.433-08:00I don't mind "puke."
