The problem with the French is that they have no word for "Entrepreneur".


This is a false quote attributed to George W. Bush. It seemed like something that he might have said, so it gained popularity for a while. Unfortunately, he didn't really say it.

Someone mentioned "borducks" - my boss actually pronounces merlot to rhyme with robot. She also went on vacation to The Barbados, uses the word "brung" (e.g. "I brung in the paper with me today"), and once referred to FOIP legislation as IHOP legislation. She also pronounces the Calgary road as "John Laurier".
