strawbs? wtf
I totes don't see what your prob with strawbs is, bro. If you take a sec and get comfy with it, you'd see that peeps abbreviate their vocab in convos all the time.
“strawberry” is one of the most beautiful words in any language
I’m not calling that fruit a name that can be legitimately spelled “strob”
You're right... there really are a lot of stupid people in the world who think it's cute to be ignorant. That you don't see that isn't even remotely surprising.
SHORTENING WORDS FOR FUN IS IGNORANT BEHAVIOR THAT SHOULD BE ERADICATED
Yeah why call it my exercise routine when I can just call it the physical jerks.
You are very smart

StrawBs like a kid would pronounce it without the Rs
I have never, ever heard it pronounced that way and would correct any kid ignorant enough to say that.
So you would berate a kid, whom many can’t properly pronounce Rs anyways?
If you’ve never heard it pronunced that you, you’ve clearly never been around a single kid.
I didn't say berate. I said correct. I would educate them. How else do you expect them to not be as ignorant?
This might surprise you, but I was a kid once myself and went to public school where I was around lots of other kids. I also have a couple of my own and met lots of other kids as an adult because of my children.
Quit glamorizing ignorance and quit trying to cast anyone as an asshole who might help other people overcome their ignorance.
I'm also going to guess that OP isn't a child who doesn't know the actual word, so your entire premise is a straw-man.
It’s a thing because of kids, language is fluid, shut up and bloviate somewhere else
You could have googled that term and found this out instead of making an ass of yourself in the same amount of time as it took to rant in these two comments.
Kids can’t talk correctly when they are young, you would be correcting a speech impediment which I hope you know how terrible that would make you… its not like every kid wants to say it that way lmfao. Get a grip.
A small percentage of kids of a legitimate speech impediment and can be excused. Most of them just need to learn to talk without 'mush mouth' and this only happens when those around them expect that of them.
And, once again, we're not talking about a child in this case. So, maybe get on-topic and quit with the ignorant and incorrect straw-man argument?
Strawmn argument about strawbs.
I don’t think that word means what you think it does.
Strawbs!!!
