Robo-tuss-in shit I never knew I was pronouncing wrong coz of my Filipino Mom's accent
There's blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, nah, nah, nah, nah. Can you just give me a bottle of Robutasin? A bottle of what? Roboticin. It's like a red bottle. It's usually next to the dime tap. You mean Robitussin? And then it just dawned on me. Roboticin is Robtusin. And I had no idea that they were the same thing. So he's just like, okay, I'll get you the robotussen

So adorable. I think Rubitussen sounds like something I'd rather have than Robitussen. I grew up in a family that pronounced a few things pretty badly, and this is about just East Coast, west coast. Calander was colander. Calander that's the one that really stuck out to me, that I realized I was saying it wrong my whole life. Calander it's a colander. Also, the accents are just terrific. Sometimes when you hear people say pasta as opposed to pasta

I had several experiences like that, which is so weird, because you said you grow up thinking that's the words for everything. And one thing was my parents called every single toothpaste colgate. They would say, like, get the colgate, use colgate. But it was Crest toothpaste or whatever types of toothpaste. But no matter what, toothpaste was just cold gate, no matter what it was. And it's just weird. Even certain things that I didn't know, other people didn't do
