I just don't get ordering from anywhere that you wouldn't usually take away food from.

the food isnt designed to be wrapped up and sat in a heated box for 45 minutes so it inevitably tastes shit too. And you're paying dine-in prices for it. And also uber eats and justeat and deliveroo are scummy companies

Jimmy Carr was awful for it when I went. Clearly someone hoping to get roasted and tell their mates and it was just sad. You can’t hear 90% of what they’re shouting anyway.

File it with baysil and oregano. Really confuses me when they pronounce ‘Graham’ as ‘gram’

People getting to the top of stairs/escalators and immediately standing still to work out where they're going, then being surprised by other people appearing and wanting to get past

People who go way ott with their kids playing football. There's a kid who plays in goal, who's parents put cameras in the net, his YouTube name on the back of his top (even though he's in a team).
The poor kid is going to get terrorised as he gets older as he can barely catch a ball.

i had to turn that off half way through, did the heckler at least get what they deserved 🫣
EDIT: Wait i just rewatched and she actually started it and then she had a wild meltdown. Kinda baffled she reposted it like she won something there

I think originally she posted it thinking the wider world would act like (to coin a popular SBT phrase) the simps in the crowd, who were clapping and cheering her on.
Reality was, she started it and the guy in the crowd gave it back pretty unapologetically. What happened next was frankly quite a scary meltdown which wasn't remotely liberating, but actually looked psychotic. The internet then basically finished the job when this was uploaded. I believe she took it down following that, but since has then doubled down again.

Absolutely nuts. I live a 2 minute drive away from one and wouldn't even consider the takeaway option.

I used to work in Worcester and it was always amusing listening to European colleagues calling it Wor-sest-er.

The British pronunciation of oregano is the one that's actually wrong...along with many others.

Because it doesn’t match the Italian?
Doesn’t that just make it a different language?

I think the English origin is Spanish, which is more similar to the American pronunciation.

im never sure about this. We don’t go around telling other countries they’re pronouncing words started in English wrong. But the Yanks speak English not American so I feel like we can tell them they’re wrong.
Like no one says “Uh it’s koekje not ‘cookie’” than you very much. Seems weird which ones were picked up on.
I did read somewhere that the accent and I assume some of the pronunciations in the US are more similar to old English than modern English.

I do! Many English words are used in Italian now and if I say them 'correctly', they're not understood most of the time, so I have to resort to Italianising them during conversation. The only one I refuse to is badge, which is pronounced as beige.

Does Italian borrow much? Dutch seems to have basically given up new words and just uses English ones pronounced dutchified. “Wiffy” for WiFi being a favourite of mine.

Yes, it's fairly common these days and I still cringe having to use the Italian pronunciation - there's also the American English influence, so A can sound like E and then because the way Italian is, they pronounce every letter of the word.
