19 Easy Ways To Avoid Sounding Like An Idiot
1.
ATM Machine - Do you realize that you are saying “machine” twice? That’s right – the M in ATM stands for machine. Cut it out.
4.
Sahara Desert - Same thing here: Sahara means desert. It is an epic desert, but you don’t have to force the point.
5.
Naan Bread - When you order or refer to naan, just say that. It’s a type of bread, so don’t embarrass yourself by asking for bread bread.
6.
PIN Number - You got it: the N in PIN stands for number. So, “enter your Personal Identification Number number” seems a little unnecessary.
7.
Panini Sandwich - A panini is a sandwich in Italy. So unless you want two of them, there’s nada reason for saying this.
8.
Veggie Soy - Yep, soy is vegetarian. Ain’t no such thing as soy meat. That’s the point. So don’t stumble on this one..
10.
Los Angeles Angels - It doesn’t take a genius to work out that “Angeles” stands for angels in Spanish. Use your brain, save your time.
12.
Please RSVP - RSVP already has “please” in it. So what’s with asking “please reply please”? Sounds desperate.
16.
False Pretenses - When someone is putting on “pretenses”, they are being false. Just call it as it is.
17.
La Brea Tar Pits - The Spanish name for the tar is La Brea. That means when are referring to ‘em, you’re saying “The The Tar Tar Pits.” Not in my house.
18.
Support Bra - Yep, a bra is for the support of your breasts. That is exactly why it is worn. Should go without saying.
19.
Carne Asada Steak - In the Spanish language, carne asada IS grilled steak. So don’t state the obvious.
