Iâm very phone call avoidant so, almost the only people I talk to on it are the people I love. So, one day my boss calls me for something stupid (our offices are like 100ft apart) and I say "love you, bye" and hang up.
So, her and all of us in middle management began saying "love you" at the end of our calls. Also, at the end of meetings. End up being kind of sweet, honestly.
For instance, take the two words âfootlongâ and âmeatballâ. Make up your mind that you will say both phrases, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards âfootlongâ, you will say âfootlong meatballâ; if they turn, by even a hairâs breadth, towards âmeatballâ, you will say âmeatball footlongâ; but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind (as all things should be), you will say âFootball meatlongâ. - Lewis Carroll
My parents owned a business so my brother and I would watch the shop on our own while my parents were taking a break or out buying supplies. We'd goof around a lot and there was this one time he let out a gigantic fart without realizing there was a customer in the store.
Also, when I was working in a cafe in Japan, my coworker answered the phone and instead of saying ohayĆgozaimasu (good morning), she said omedetĆgozainasu (congratulations).

"Why yes! I'd love to try some peef Wellington!"

Ok, but I should warn you that the peef has an odd texture and is really better served ground rather than whole. :/

I used to work in an outbound call center. Worst job I've ever had, but that's beside the point.
There is a surprisingly common surname that's spelt "Cockburn" but pronounced "Cou burn" (Like Coat, but no T)
Nobody told me this until I was halfway through the list, which was several dozen names long.
