Kevin is notorious for saying things incorrectly on purpose. "I used to was..." and "I are...".
After twenty + years of being together we have also developed a shorthand of sorts. It's often quotes from movies or referring to something that had happened in the past. We've been known to have a complete conversation without actual verbs.
As I have mentioned, I love the show "Friends". It really is my go-to sitcom. I tweeted the other night that falling asleep while watching "Friends" is like falling asleep at a party with all of our besties.
If you are also a fan then you know that Joey is not so smart sometimes. Because of Joey, we say "moo point" instead of "moot point".
Like this:
So I say this all the time. I don't even think about it.
Enter my new boss. She had been working with me for about two months when I said it. I know that I had said it previously on numerous occasions. Finally, she just looked at me and said "You know you're saying that wrong, right?"
I laughed out loud. Finally someone said something! Someone noticed! And really? Scooby Snacks to her for calling me out on it. Although I suppose she didn't want people to think she had an idiot working for her.
It's a moo point.

SUPPOSABLY you're saying it wrong. SUPPOSABLY.
I love my Joey!! I also have a Friends inspired saying- "Gotta put on my eatin' pants" because of Joey...and my whole extended family says it now without even knowing why! That's the power of pop culture for you!
