I'm definitely not a city girl. I understand what they are saying. Guess I grew up with some kids saying it in school so it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2067235 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:06:17 +0000 BSB 2067235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As someone from the east coast and now in the PNW, it throws me off when adults use the word 'hella'. Like, 'That's hella cool!'</p> <p>Also with my Philly accent, I say 'whatyougonnado?' and people around here do not understand me. I have to enunciate and say 'What are you going to do?' Also, I use 'gonna' a lot. </p> <p>I'm asian and I hate when people ask me 'Where you from?' I tell them I'm from Pennsylvania. Then I get 'No, where are you really from?' or 'Where are your parents from?' Eventually I tell them where my parents were born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2067233 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:04:41 +0000 .twist. 2067233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could care less<br /> should/would/could of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2067220 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:53:40 +0000 MrsRcCar 2067220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are a few others from when I lived in Hawaii.<br /> 1.

I still don't quite understand it, and I lived there for 10 years. I guess it's basically a word to use in place of any other word. Always a noun. It's weird.</p> <p>I grew up in Central PA where we have a lot of sayings/phrases that make people stare at us with wide-open mouths. The first one that comes to mind is the word "rutch," which we use when someone is really restless in bed. "I had a hard time sleeping last night...I was rutching all over the place!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2066737 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:31:39 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2066737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expecially<br /> Could care less<br /> Sequence instead of sequins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2066730 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:29:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 2066730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: The looks I used to get when I would say "well I stay right here" , were priceless.

They definatly didn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2066724 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:27:48 +0000 raspberries 2066724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cringe a little when I hear someone say "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes." I want to ask if it still holds true if the purpose isn't intensive at all, but I'm pretty sure that's an asshole move. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-phrases-that-make-you-say-huh#post-2066697 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:19:52 +0000 MrsRcCar 2066697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spin off of the mispronouncation thread. Are there phrases that adults say that make you go huh? </p> <p>When I was working at an airport, I used to hear this one all the time: "Where you stay at?" (Where do you live?) I used to respond "I stay right here!" :silly: </p>
