Say what?

A co-worker just made another co-worker angry. The offended co-worker told me "She just strung a wrong chord."

Same thing over and over...

My co-worker and I were just talking about how our kids like to watch Dora the Explorer. The word I used to describe the show was "formulaic".

My co-worker called it "Repetitious"... but she pronounced it "re-PET-itus"

Hospitality, Maybe?

One of my bosses kept using the word "Hospility" instead of "Hospitality". I thought at first she was getting tongue-tied, but after asking for clarification, no - that's what she thinks the word is.

Speech

My cow-orker was commenting on Obama's speech in Cairo. She said "he was speaking Islamic....wait....is Islamic a language?"

That Would Be Tough

Cow-orker: "That might throw a monkey bar into things."

Third Party?

My Cow-orker just said (of a character on a tv show): "She talks in the third party."
She meant "Third Person".

Huh?

"We'll be in ship-shop shape!"

I think my cow-orker mixed "Ship Shape" and "Tip-top Shape".
