Are you really going to write "GO DEFENSE!" every time you post here?
Cause that'd be awesome.
I thought of two more words:
1. clique - is it click or cleek? No one will ever know for sure.
2. chamois - as in a moist chamois. (I got this from Strong Bad).
An ancient Egyptian lady cursed you 18 years ago? When you were a baby? Why was an Egyptian lady there? And what does 'ancient' mean? Like she was so old she was falling apart? Did she time-travel? Oooh, that sounds neat.

A chamois is the same thing as a shammy, I believe - they're both used to clean things. Like a towel, I suppose.
Yes, I've read Douglas Adams. I've read the Hitchhiker's series, The Salmon of Doubt, and Last Chance to See. I want to read The Meaning of Liff and the first two Dirk Gently books.
You should read Terry Pratchett. He's good too.
I pronounce it 'click' as well. But some people still say 'cleek'.
I'm pretty sure you spelled 'leprechaun' correctly.
I can stay on-topic; no problemo.
Onerous...as in burdensome. Used to say "own-er-us"; which is actually closer to the Latin pronounciation. But in English, I believe it's pronounced very much like the word 'honorous'. Without the 'h' sound.
Onus is probably my favorite word in Latin. ONUS. So funny. It just means burden...or load.
I have a big ONUS.
*giggle*

Ah well, I'm also posting to other threads in-between this one and the other one...this one is the word one? Yeah, okay.
It's milk. Like...milk. Not melk. Who are you people? 
I love the way Australians say 'water'. So awesome.
I want to be a writer; not necessarily a journalist. But that's a way off. A long way. Really long. Like...so long...it's like...um...really long.
Don't you think I'd do well? My descriptions are so...descriptive. And stuff.

For years I couldn't say "geography" I would say it like
"geo-graph-ee" or something like that. And when I was in 3rd grade, I was in the geography bee, and I remember being so worried I was going to have to say geography, and people would make fun of me.

I'm slightly confused. There are two versions of this thread, but one's been locked... why was it locked in the first place?
And something I said wrong (I'm the Queen of saying the wrong words), instead of 'nautical engineer' I told my mum and brother that my friend's dad was a 'neurotic engineer' Go me.

Ah, fair enough
Here's another bunch of words I used to not be able to say:
Yellow - came out as lello
Lollypop - came out as yoyipop
(how thick is that? I couldn't say 'yellow lollypop' but I could say 'lello yoyipop' - idiot )
Moon - came out as miiiuuuun

When I was four or five years old, I couldn't say "Go" to save my life... I kept on saying "Doh" instead.. I got made fun of a lot for that in my gymnastics class
And I can not say Lacto-ovo Kinda weird.. I found that out during health class... We were reading about vegetarians and one of the kinds is lacto-ovo and guess who had to read that particular paragraph out loud... me I was stuck on that word for like 2 minutes and I had the whole class yelling how to say it correctly in my face... I just gave up

That locked part of the thread was actually just some posts that curious bout efans and I made last night, going crazy, and we were posting on like eight threads with this one long continuous debate about nothing in particular and sharing our views on stuff. It didn't really relate to this thread, so I'm assuming the mods just moved it out to keep this thread flowing, and so only the die-hard fans of my own insanity will go read that part of the thread, because it really is that scary. It was 4 a.m. in the morning....
lots of love always, jessica

I'm quite random and strange, too. But you've posted more than I have so you probably get away with more than us uber-newbies. (or sort of newbies)
and I love your sig/avvy. Toad the mushroom from Mario is my boyfriend.
