Hellobee Boards

Chester drawers is like "nip it in the butt" or "should of." Things people don't know how to spell because they don't read, so they've only ever heard it said out loud. Drives me bonkers, but I try really hard to control the urge to correct people.

I call them dressers but I'm pretty sure "Chester drawers" is just people meaning to say chest of drawers who don't know what they're saying!

@Torchwood: Agreed! Totally drives me crazy. (For all intensive purposes is probably the one that makes me personally want to scream the most).

LOL "Chester drawers!" People are special.

@Torchwood: exactly- it's people writing things as they hear them, who don't read enough to know better. Another one that irks me to no end: "use/ suppose to." Grrrrrr!

@Mrs.KMM: BAHAHA that one kills me too- I always want to ask, "and what exactly *is* an intensive purpose?"

Voted chest of drawers because that's what the people are trying to say, but I call it a dresser.

Lol!! I call it a dresser. Chester drawers is awesome, though.

@Smurfette: I call that a tall dresser, but you're right in furniture mags that's what's called. Some nightstands are referred to as bachelor chests.

@Smurfette: @pwnstar: Interesting! We use dresser and bureau interchangeably here. No one in my area says chest of drawers.

@Smurfette: I consider them 2 different things, too. Although I use dresser more often - it sounds weird to say, "put you clothes in the chest of drawers"

And my family definitely says Chester drawers, but they know what it's supposed to be.

Hahahahahaah! Chester drawers
