A&A'smommy replied: duck lol its only because I was raised in an area that it is used to fix literally EVERYTHING I hate that stuff!!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Duct. I don't so much mind when people say "duck" But I hate when people add an "R" to wash. WARSH! It drives me nuts and people do it at work just because they know it.

Oh, and DH says "paper toweling" instead of just paper towels. THAT annoys me too!

5littleladies replied: Hmm....I think I say duck, but not conciously-I think of it as duct. It seems to take alot more effort to get the "t" on the end there. DucT Tape. It's a mouthful.

Wow-now I sound lazy. lol!

kit_kats_mom replied: Well, I call it duct tape since that's what it is. It's original purpose was to seal leaks in air ducts I believe.

ions_momma replied: I call it duct tape, but my sister calls it duck tape.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I know it is duct tape but I think I say ductape-kinda one word all smooshed together It might be a southern thing or maybe I am just lazy too!

amymom replied:
Yes it is duct tape for sealing ducts. But a company came along (along time ago) and called their duct tape, DuckTape ( see website) and thus people get confused.
Kind of like Kleenex being used as generic for tissue.

Yeah - Drives me nuts when people can't pronouce a word properly.... not because of an accent, but because of added or substracted letters.

My MIL says Scottowel for Paper towel - just beacuse that's the brandname.

I hate it. I always act confused... lol <oh, you mean a PAPER towel!!>

DH says Kleenex for anything to wipe the kids nose with.... when he ways kleenex, I look for the tissues.... but he'll mean the napkin or something

It's like the people who say <pass the heinz> when they mean ketchup...

My2Beauties replied: It's Duct - but down here we smoosh the whole word together so it sounds like duck tape I hate the "idear" and "warsh" thing too Drives me bananas!

JAYMESMOM replied: I make it one word Ductape. But if I asked what? I will say DUCT TAPE. LOL.

We also say kleenex for a facial tissue.

My friend refers to all diapers as pampers.

I hate liberry vs. library.
