My parents did and their grammar wasn’t that good but I was born in the UK. Maybe I just picked the word up from them as I used to mispronounce a few words, one being wasp.

I had been pronouncing Zimbabwe as Zimbabve ( I’m blaming my Polish heritage 🤔) up until it finally dawned upon me when I used the word in a works meeting in 2016.

Do you think they noticed? 🫢
Don't worry about it.
Five or six years ago I told someone to go and get ****** in a meeting.
They definitely noticed that.

Two pioneering Rockabilly guitarists Carl Perkins and Luther Perkins aren't related. I just naturally assumed they were brothers.
