| I used to work for a campaign company and we would have signature gatherers (those annoying guys who stand outside of Wal-Mart and ask if you want to sign to change legislature) go out and petition. One of the guys decided he was going to Compton/Watts. (The area where rappers Snoop Dogg or Dr. Dre grew up.) One name read:
Sh-trice (pronounced Chatrice) -the way I see it is she's only missing one letter from having an accident after eating Chinese food
There were two twins who signed:
Lem'Onjello (pronounced Lem On Jello with emphasis on the "On") and his brother Or'Ongejello (Or On Jello) Really??

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | ACEINTHEHOLE - 2014-04-15 1:16 PM TurnLane - 2014-04-15 1:09 PM Ok, this is 200% the truth- here in our hometown of Skiatook Okla there is a child named ABCD (pronounced Abakada if you can imagine?) and another named Female (pronounced like tamale)--- they are in grade school. Who are these kids, and why do I not know of them? Oh, that's right, I live in Sperry and you live in that horrid Skiatook! (shh! don't tell anyone your from Skiatook) LOL!
Well Skiatook is a pretty fancy named town unlike Sperry- so it only makes sense that we have fancy named children!
I only learned of them while selling food to the district and they were going over the government paid lunch meals and these were two of the names enrolled that we were discussing. |

Location: Vicksburg MS | I work at a lease to own type of company and when you don't make your payments and you won't answer your phone, we proceed to call your references.
My assistant pointed to her screen one day and asked,"How do I pronounce that name?"
I looked over at her screen and after processing what I saw, burst out laughing, then suggested she just ask for Ms Epps.
The name? Fellatia
I then had to explain to the 20 yr old assistant why that was so funny. |
