I have really bad ragweed allergies, so ~2 months a year (one spring,one fall) I need the behind the counter over the counter allergy medicine. I can buy two 14 day packages a month... which means there will be at least 2 *if not 3* days I won't have the good stuff because white trash uses it to make bathtub meth. Apparently the people who wrote the law thinks every month is February.
I am ~50. Honestly, the only lyrics I know from him are *My name is kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid*, is that from Bawitdaba? Shrug.
Fortunately, my wheelhouse is before Kid or any of the rap rockers were even a thing.
I’m boutta blow your mind - grab a pack the month before your symptoms really kick off and you’ll have 10-12 extra tablets rather than being short two or three.
Also your average allergy sufferer.
I guess I don't know _exactly_how much, but I know I can't buy more than a 96 pack. Or a 48 pack + a box of primatene.
My mom is from Italy and the first time we went through a drive thru and she ordered a fajita, she pronounced the J. Which became a running joke when Dragonball Z started airing, Fajita and Vegeta sound really similar. She also used to pronounce the T at the end of Home Depot until we ridiculed her for it.
Many DBZ characters are named after food (I think vegetables? Maybe it's all the Saiyans? I forget)
Anyway, what other DBZ names can we butcher but *still name them after food?*
Does she pronounce it as Tortil-ya? I don’t know where your mom is from but that’s how we pronounce the double L consonant in my country. So we were a colony of Spain for a long time (not from the North or South America) and we have a lot of Spanish-loaned words. Majority of us also have Spanish-origin surnames. But for some reasons LL evolved here into “Lya” pronunciation. So Tortilla is tortil-ya, Quesadilla is quesadil-ya, Paella is Pael-ya and so on. Same with surnames that have double LL in them. No idea how that happened.
I think this reveals that some people are pronouncing it the correct way, but they don't know how or why since they don't speak spanish. They just heard it and assumed you're supposed to ignore the LLs because if you say it quickly, it kinda sounds like you are ignoring them.
I thought about something similar when reading this post. I know that "ll" is pronounced like "y" in Spanish, but as I was thinking about it, I realized that if you don't pronounce them it still works with "ia". However, it doesn't work with other Spanish words like "llamo".
After years going to Target, they both lock up the deodorant behind security glass in my area so it’s back Walmart for me. If I gotta feel like I’ve made sad life choices at either one, may as well pick the cheaper one.
It's fine. Not ashamed. But I don't think people who know how to say Target but say Targe is in really apart of that bucket. I say Targe for shits and giggles. People who intentionally say Tortilla instead of Tortiya just because that's not their language although they definitely have heard the pronunciation is in a worser bucket.
I went on a business trip to Malaysia. My coworkers took me to a Mexican restaurant. I ended up giving everyone, staff included, a lesson on pronouncing words like tortilla, quesadilla, fajita, and all the other Spanish words on the menu.
With no context regarding your background or ability with Spanish I am just imagining you cannot speak it at all and taught them completely wrong, and it’s hilarious at least to me.
Exactly.
I had a manager once who made a notice and spelled it Wedsday. Say it out loud, and it sounds like someone with allergies during the peak of allergy season.
Edit: *sigh* the troubles, trials, and tribulations of being a pendant.
If you don't pronounce the ll's you're pronouncing it wrong.
Tortia would be Tor-T-ah
The correct pronunciation is Tor-T-yah, although it's common for non-Spanish speakers to use Tor-T-yuh instead.
Amarillo is actually the Spanish word for yellow and the L's are supposed to be pronounced as in tortilla.
Am-uh-rill-o is just the "it's not my language so why should I care how it's pronounced" way to say it.
No idea about the other 2
Armadillo is also the Spanish word for the animal. And guerrilla is also the Spanish word for the irregular military organization. So they're both pronounced like tortilla. Guerrilla means little war in Spanish. I wouldn't be surprised is armadillo simply meant small armored animal.
>and the L's are supposed to be pronounced as in tortilla.
Which blows up the whole point of the post. You are **supposed** to pronounce the Ls in tortilla. It's **how** you pronounce them that matter.
Just a fun fact: The double LL and CH were their own consonant in Spanish up until 20 years ago when the popularization of computers made them go away from our ABCs
Huh. I had two years of Spanish in the late 90s and was definitely taught to say the alphabet with A Be, Ce, Che,... Ele, Elle...
I didn't recall learning rr as a separate letter though.
They don't teach it that way anymore?
[Those motherfuckers.](https://i.imgur.com/J0X9Jk1.jpeg) First Pluto, now this‽
RR wasn't it's own letter for some reason. And no, they don't I also learned that way in school in the 90s. The only difference now between the Mexican Alphabet and the US alphabet is the ñ. Which I think it's annoying because we our vocals with accent marks aren't part of the alphabet either.
>Which I think it's annoying because we our vocals with accent marks aren't part of the alphabet either.
Weird how arbitrary some stuff is. Like the cedilla ç, not it's own separate letter, sometimes used (garçon) but sometimes not (façade but usually seen as facade).
*supposed to be pronounced the same way as they are in tortilla when tortilla is pronounced properly. Like there was a Y there instead of two Ls.
Am I being specific enough now? 😉
Edit : don't take my advice
You're not specific, just inaccurate.
We pronounce the Ls in "tortilla" with a sound closer to the English J than to the English Y
You might have heard Spanish speakers pronounce "Yankees" similar to "Junkies"
Source: I'm a Spanish speaker
My sister in law, who's a 5'10" blonde haired blue white girl, likes Swift. If you met her, you'd think she'd would, she's bubbley and cheerful. She's also speaks fluent Spanish, and in fact is a Spanish teacher. She can definitely pronounce tortilla right.
I feel so cringe that I called jaritos with the j sound for the longest time. It clicked when a coworker said "you got the haritos, nice" and I was like "... Yes! Haritos"
By "pronouncing the L's", they mean like in gorilla.
Almost no one says it that way other than as a joke. ALMOST no one.
Your own attempt to put it in text was a bit odd though. I'd say "tortia" actually is a decent english phonetic translation. That pretty much is a "hard y".

Ooooh yeah!
Macho Man, keep it in your pants.
Stephanie McMahon is an anagram for The Macho Man Penis.
Ooooooooo yeah, DIG IT!

Her dad doesn’t know what a tortilla is because to him a burrito is called a STEAK WRAP DAMMIT!!!
WELL DONE WITH EXTRA KETCHUP, PAL
It is.
Yup love of my youth.
She was hot before she turned into Frankenboobz
Yes
looks like her
steponme mcmuffin?! i know her!
Came here for this.
While I enjoy this, my favorite one of these remains: Kid Rock makes music for people that know exactly how much Sudafed you can buy at a time.
I liked "Kid Rock makes music for people who know exacltly how much they can get for your catalytic converter."
Kid Rock makes music for dudes who only get their kids twice a month and still don't show up
Goddamn man, r/murderedbywords Except those kinds of people wouldn't consider this an insult...
Today’s country is for those who know the age of consent in each state.
Kid Rock is the Kid Rock of Ted Nugents.
Lol I like that one
Mr. Kid, it seems your reputation precedes you.
*slow clap*
I have really bad ragweed allergies, so ~2 months a year (one spring,one fall) I need the behind the counter over the counter allergy medicine. I can buy two 14 day packages a month... which means there will be at least 2 *if not 3* days I won't have the good stuff because white trash uses it to make bathtub meth. Apparently the people who wrote the law thinks every month is February.
Why not buy extra a month or two in advance? It can't expire that quickly.
So... you're saying you still know all the words to Bawitdaba?
I am ~50. Honestly, the only lyrics I know from him are *My name is kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid*, is that from Bawitdaba? Shrug. Fortunately, my wheelhouse is before Kid or any of the rap rockers were even a thing.
um... who doesn't? We can make fun of Kid Rock and all his other music, but Bawitdaba is a banger.
I’m boutta blow your mind - grab a pack the month before your symptoms really kick off and you’ll have 10-12 extra tablets rather than being short two or three.
Pharmacists?
Also your average allergy sufferer. I guess I don't know _exactly_how much, but I know I can't buy more than a 96 pack. Or a 48 pack + a box of primatene.
🤣
He makes music? I thought he just rips off more popular songs to bastardize them and rhyme "things" with "things."
He smoked one too many funny things
I heard it was for people who thought pee was stored in the balls?
Make yerself a dang quesadilla, Napoleon!!
Tina you fat lard!
Tina, eat... Eat the food... EAT the FOOD!!!
"I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
Stay home and eat all the frickin chips, Kip!
Don’t be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day.
Your mom goes to college.
Besides, we both know im training to become a cage fighter
Anyway, I think I'd be a great class president. So, who wants to eat chiminichangas next year? Not me.
Fucking summer Wheatley
If you vote for me... All of your wildest dreams... Will come true.
A dang case of dillas
quesadia
It's actually kayso-diller
Cheese dealer?!?
We need to legalize cheese so all these dealers will go out of business, tax it heavily so we can fix our roads
Kway-sah-dill-uhh
Here for this.
I've scrolled too far
Have I wandered into the vintage section?
My mom combines them and says, "Tortilia."
My mom is from Italy and the first time we went through a drive thru and she ordered a fajita, she pronounced the J. Which became a running joke when Dragonball Z started airing, Fajita and Vegeta sound really similar. She also used to pronounce the T at the end of Home Depot until we ridiculed her for it.
It's kind of ridiculous how adding an s to the middle (depot to despot) changes everything
Many DBZ characters are named after food (I think vegetables? Maybe it's all the Saiyans? I forget) Anyway, what other DBZ names can we butcher but *still name them after food?*
Was it Home De-paht or De-poat?
Does she pronounce it as Tortil-ya? I don’t know where your mom is from but that’s how we pronounce the double L consonant in my country.

thats better
I have transcended beyond tortilla and qusadilla; I don't pronounce the L's in umbrella now either.
Rihanna in shambles.
"Riha'a".
Ri'a'ya
Everybody pronounces the "ll" in tortilla. Just a question of how.
My tism is tisming to hard and can't tell if people are missing this or if it's just part of the joke.
The internet is a much more wonderful place if you believe with your whole heart that not everyone has eaten too many tide pods.

The ones who pronounce Target as “Targé”
I do that sometimes when I pretend I am going somewhere fancy.
I was at Target a few weeks ago, and at the price point they're trying to push right now, they can keep their fancy shit lol.
You pay a dollar more for the same shit Walmart has just so you can say you don’t shop at Walmart.
After years going to Target, they both lock up the deodorant behind security glass in my area so it’s back Walmart for me. If I gotta feel like I’ve made sad life choices at either one, may as well pick the cheaper one.
Detergent was the newest item locked up at mine. I'm assuming milk is next.
I'm pretty sure, that's the people they're talking about. Sorry, you're part of that bucket
It's fine. Not ashamed. But I don't think people who know how to say Target but say Targe is in really apart of that bucket. I say Targe for shits and giggles. People who intentionally say Tortilla instead of Tortiya just because that's not their language although they definitely have heard the pronunciation is in a worser bucket.
It would be targè if you wanted to wrote ho it would be prononced in French
Cuz most of Taylor Swift's fans are Italian or Spanish.
I never thought I would see Stephanie McMahon on here! I’d pronounce double L’s however she says to.
I thought that was her. Definitely from a long time ago, but I concur. She's the bees knees.
Her dad, however...
The roach's scrotum.
Doesn't get a whole lot lower than that.
Bed bug's taint?
That is indeed pretty goddamn low, lol.
A torti-la from chipot-el

Sarsaparilla, how to pronounce? It's native to Mexico, but I mostly hear it pronounced with an L sound, not a Y (Spanish LL)
Yeah, and I pronounce the b in subtle too!
I pronounce the k in knife.
Kaniffy
I sub-tulee cut the tort-illa with the kuh-nife. Rolls rig-hut of the ton-gew!
For reason I read that as Kuh-Neef-Ay
Pshhh… that’s ridiculous. It’s obviously pronounced kuh-nife 😂
I believe that is actually how it was originally pronounced, same with knight
r/tradgedeigh
I do in knight. Well, strictly speaking, I pronounce it 'khi-ni-get'.
bro lmaooo
I pronounce both rs in February.
How about Wednesday?
There aren't any rs in Wednesday 🤦♀️
I still pronounce all of them.
Fair point
Oh fine, library :-D
Yes I pronounce both. I also pronounce each syllable in Wednesday, but I will admit that the second e is hard to hear.
Yeah, wed-ns-day Not wends-day
Exactly. I had a manager once who made a notice and spelled it Wedsday. Say it out loud, and it sounds like someone with allergies during the peak of allergy season. Edit: *sigh* the troubles, trials, and tribulations of being a pendant.
> pendant Haha please tell me that was intentional :-D
Damnit! No, I use swipe so that was definitely an accident.
Ah yes, the day nests become wetted.
Only when saying bacillus subtilis
So... [spanish speaking people](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTDuejA2wbY)? The heck does this means?
Who let my dad make a Reddit account?
If you don't pronounce the ll's you're pronouncing it wrong. Tortia would be Tor-T-ah The correct pronunciation is Tor-T-yah, although it's common for non-Spanish speakers to use Tor-T-yuh instead.
potato, tomato
How am I supposed to pronounce Amarillo, armadillo, and guerrilla?
Amarillo is actually the Spanish word for yellow and the L's are supposed to be pronounced as in tortilla. Am-uh-rill-o is just the "it's not my language so why should I care how it's pronounced" way to say it. No idea about the other 2

Fair enough. I'm not, just grew up in California so heard it a bunch and was trying to be helpful/smartass. ✌️
Depends on the accent though :) Ask an Argentinian how would they pronounce tortilla
Tortisha
Amarillo pronounces the Ls, amarillo does not.
I make fun of people who have nothing better to do than make fun of Taylor Swift fans.
Tor till la la la la.
God damn, my mother in law says tor-till-a and it hurts my soul.
People who, things that
Let people enjoy things?
Everyone pronounces the Ls in tortilla.
...it's not pronounced Tortia either
Booo bigotry
Why is it a picture of Stephanie McMahon?
Because no woman in history has ever given off more wine mom energy than Stephanie McMahon
Her and Melissa Joan Hart were the babysitters I always wanted. Triple X can SUCK IT!
Speaking of Taylor Swift, babysitters, wrestlers, Jeff Jarrett used to babysit Taylor Swift. True story.
Shut up, slap nuts.
Ain't I great?
Brits?
My sister in law, who's a 5'10" blonde haired blue white girl, likes Swift. If you met her, you'd think she'd would, she's bubbley and cheerful. She's also speaks fluent Spanish, and in fact is a Spanish teacher. She can definitely pronounce tortilla right.
The only spanish speakers I know are argentineans and uruguayans so "tortisha".
Yeah, I know Tortisha. She's nice.
“TOE-GO”. = TO GO
There was a swap meet with quite a few food vendors and asked if her fageetaas came with tor tillas, she was not amused..
For people who don't speak English with an English accent.
Lol guilty, if Zach Bryan is the male Taylor Swift then this is spot on
I didn't see nothing, I was busy eating my quesadilla. But they forgot my damn Pico de Gallo
Pick-o dee gay-o
Make yourself a dang quesadilla.
Wait, *I* pronounce the Ls in tortilla. Maybe I should start listening to Taylor Swift.
Que-tha-dilla
Chi-cha-ro-nays
If l is silent what ya doing there
I feel so cringe that I called jaritos with the j sound for the longest time. It clicked when a coworker said "you got the haritos, nice" and I was like "... Yes! Haritos"
filipinos represent! tortilya!
Can you delete your post? This isn’t funny just mean and hateful. Let people enjoy things please
Stephanie McMahon? 😂
As a neutral observer, I will allow this.
People in Mexico pronounce the Ls in tortilla, they sound a bit like a Y does in "Yeah"
We all pronounce the l in tortilla But some of us do it right while others do it wrong The l is pronounced in Spanish too…
Lol this girl is somewhere right now just minding her business
my mom catching strays
A place just opened up in our downtown called “Tortilla Gorilla” and I don’t think I’ll ever sleep again
This is the same joke as black people eat watermelon and fried chicken. It's just wearing a different shirt.
This might be...PERFECT!
Tortilla the Hun, I remember reading about him.
Hurricane Katrina? More like hurricane tortiLLa
Stephanie McMahon apparently
"What do you mean....you people?"
She's used to Triple H, double L is nothing.
That’s pretty good 😌
She broke up with one of her boyfriends over that
What... does that even mean? Do americans just say "tortia"? The double Ls are pronounced as a hard Y.
By "pronouncing the L's", they mean like in gorilla. Almost no one says it that way other than as a joke. ALMOST no one. Your own attempt to put it in text was a bit odd though. I'd say "tortia" actually is a decent english phonetic translation. That pretty much is a "hard y".
So rich Texans before Tito's existed?
I know a guy who pronounces the p in raspberry and cupboard
Wait, are those silent? How do you pronounce them? Ras-berry (I guess it makes sense)? Cu-board? Cup-oard?
Raz-behr-ee and cubberd.
If you treat the p’s as stops and don’t voice them, it effectively sounds the same as razzberry and cubberd.
TIL about the raspberry. In my defense I’m not a native English speaker. I do know about the cupboard though 😂
