Okay that one is 100% true.

Then when it was over, one of them said "mayonnaise" with the wrong number of syllables and they had to fight over that one.

Oh my god, Canada, do you really pronounce it aluminium.

I ALSO THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A SILLY THING IN A BARENAKED LADIES SONG THAT NO ONE PRONOUNCED FOR REAL?

like... you take tests, but those are specific ones. i could take the LSATs, for example. or i could take my driving test.

but in a school semester students write their midterms, and then they write their exams.
Edited (you could also say "i wrote my LSATs" and it would be legit, but i think less common) 2017-09-03 07:25 (UTC)

marin do you ever wonder if they're trying to put one over on us

like it's a big conspiracy and they do say things just like us
Edited (i had to look this up bc i was 100% convinced it was "pull one over" and "put one over" sounds so wrong) 2017-09-03 07:23 (UTC)
