5. Oh I see...
his grammatical pronunciations are insufferable. For some reason I get really irked when he says Dick Cheeeeney.

Yeah ..... "Cheeeeny .... that's how the family pronounces it, not Chaney ......."
He can never just say the name. He has to do that pronunciation and then tell us all why he (thinks he's) right and we're all wrong.

He's insufferable.

4. I knew who you were referring to by the subject line.
I noticed that yesterday. Never heard anybody else pronounce it that way.

But I like Tweety even though he drives me nuts at times.

6. Maybe he was trying to say "Port of Prawns,"
like maybe he thinks that's where prawns come from.

8. Or a porta john full of prawns.
Not sure how I feel about that. I guess it depends if they're new or used.
