My most longstanding is wash, as washing machine, wash your ears, Washington, etc.
People there is no R in the word(s).
There is a woman running for senate this year who runs slimy ads about her opponent, who has the seat now, and she repeatedly tells me she will do a better job than he will in Warshington.
There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that I will vote for this person.
I can't stand the American way of starting with "I was like", "I felt like", as in "I was like: oh my god". Or: I was like: that is beautiful.
I'm dutch speaking but I really dislike it. Some, people here use (in dutch) the same stupid quote to express a feeling: "Ik had zoiets van:..." (Translation: "I had something like:"
