eta: when i read the subject, i thought you were going to share how you did something "on a wing and a prayer."



Well apparently this woman went to this nail saloon on a wing and prayer.
And a whim.

What’s a nail saloon? Chat Icon Sorry, had to call you out on that!

IPhone auto correct and typing has been really awful lately. I’m going to give this person the benefit of the doubt.



Ha! Typing fast. But now that you mention it, a nail saloon might be a great business idea!
Have some cocktails while getting your nails done!

I thought of auto correct in this case but would whim be corrected to wing?
Maybe.

I just love reading these... there are so many misheard sayings.

I remember having an argument with my friend years ago because she insisted the line in pretty woman was
"Listen I appreciated this whole romance thing you've got going on but, I'm a SHORT thing"

I had to go online and look up the script to show her it was, "I'm a sure thing"

That one I never got.

There’s a new nail salon in bellmore that serves booze. Just an FYI.



Details please.

On a wing....

There's a girl I'm FB friends with who does not know "best friend" is 2 words- she types "bestfriend." The same girl has a tattoo with a typo in it.

"For all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents of purposes"

"Nip it in the butt" instead of "Nip it in the bud"

"Beckon Call" instead of "Beck and call"



Isn’t it “intents and purposes”?



The correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes." It originates from English law dating back to the 1500s, which used the phrase "to all intents, constructions, and purposes" to mean "officially" or "effectively."

yes. That was a typo on my part.

I often wonder if people think it makes sense that way.
Like I get typos, but when it's repeatedly used like that by the same person.
I get that you misheard it, but do you think it makes sense that way?
Like you are trying to say it makes you feel better and relieved and gives you "Peace" in your "Mind"
So where does the mine come in??
Peace in your Mine? Coal mine?

Idk if it's a hispanic or regional thing but my family and few other of my friends and their families do this. Like Chuck e' Cheeses, Great Adventures, I even seen s added at the end of names.

I made conscious effort to kick this habit. 'Mines' is already too much lol.
