It is funny when some outsiders try to pronounce some of our local names. Like Sequim.

around here even the strange stuff is mostly phonetic, like Pawcatuck, Noank, Pequot, Mashantucket, etc.
Ah Indian names. So many little towns near me are named after Indian tribes or words, or taken right from the Bible. Like Hockendaqua, PA is right next to Bethlehem, PA.

I like to help foreign tourists when they don't really have a handle on the lexicon. It seems arrogant, but I always ask if they need help first. Especially the Japanese tourists. They're nice, and their daughters are foxy.
Also, it's so cute when they take pictures of them eating with forks and knives like WOAH-HO, CRAZY VACATION TIIIMES.

'No offense' drives me mad. People who try to speak in a pleasant voice but are really trying to tell you off are just as bad or worse. Stop trying to pretend to be nice if you're being a dick.

I think that's mostly regional.
Also my grandpa says ruff. And Colarada. And other such old-guy mispronunciations.

kiss me
also, "sexting"
European English uses whole other words for similar meanings, though. That gets confusing.
After you blow a fag, yes.

See, this is dumb. You guys should pronounce things the way they are spelled.
hahahahaha
Really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for names there, settlers.
NEXT WE'LL GET SOME USED PANTIES OUT OF A VENDING MACHINE, IT WILL BE HILARIOUS!

also, people who use "lol" as replacement for every punctuation mark ever.
Using "infer" as a smartened up synonym for "imply" when it's actually the opposite.
Also; Europeans are really really interested in the old west. I was kinda surprised to learn that.
I am terrible with chopsticks
But next time I see pho, I will remember this
LET'S GO DRIFT RACING NEXT WITH THESE YAKUZA GUYS!

There are a shit ton of Western movies from Europe.
The Spaghetti ones from Italy, and all the Karl May stuff from Germany. It was a really really big thing in the 60s and 70s.
I want more video games set in the Old West, damnit.
North Carolina has some good names
Greensboro
Goldsboro
Tarboro
Carrboro
Asheboro
Roxboro
And, of course, Tobaccoville
Dude, the new Red Dead Redemption game looks fucking sick as all hell.
