Was having lunch yesterday and the wife's aunt kept referring to egg rolls as "egg rows." I also noted a similar flub when she mentioned having to take the "tow road" somewhere.

It also bugs me when people say "woof" instead of "wolf", and when they pronounce the "L" in salmon.

I understand these because they're just lazy pronunciations, but I really don't understand warsh and acrosst. It's like they're going out of their way to sound like an idiot.

Today someone was playing a snippet of Sheila Jackson Lee on the radio. She said "amboolance" and "first line of offense" (when what she meant was first line of defense".
