I called the Progressive Metal band of the same name like that for like 5 years until I told a friend about them and they did the "hahaha.. Wait, what did you call them?" and right then and there my life changed
Sax-o-phie, wow it's completely unrecognizable as the same word.
Who needs consistent pronunciation rules anyway?
Like getting kicked in the testicles.
Testikles was lowkey one of the best characters in Odyssey. It's an absolute shame that that large, greased man wasn't used more throughout the game.
At least we got to see him again in the underworld!
This testicles guy's really got a pair huh?
The Battle of Thermopylae really fucked me up in English Comp. I still feel the embarrassment
