.”me and Julio” - it’s rude to put yourself first in the list of people and it’s also wrong to use the objective “me” as the subject of a sentence
.”awnt” for “aunt”
.”absolutely” as an answer for everything
.”go with” instead of “go with you or whomever”
.”they” to describe one person
.”T-boned” as in “the car was T-boned in the crash” - I have no idea what that means
.”busted” instead of broke - a local news anchor uses it every time - “someone busted in the door of the home”
.”left” instead of “let”
.”ditn’t”
.”anyways”
.”oh-mawj” for “homage”

.”awnt” for “aunt”

As a pronounciation, or written? Perfectly acceptable pronounciation.

.”T-boned” as in “the car was T-boned in the crash” - I have no idea what that means

Common figure of speech. Means that one car impacted the other directly from the side, making a “T” shape, like a “T-bone”

.”oh-mawj” for “homage”

It’s a french word and that’s another perfectly good pronounciation of it. How do you pronounce it? “home-adj”?

”awnt” for “aunt”

That’s exactly how I pronounce the word, and I can’t stand when it’s pronounced “ant”. That’s a bug. Say the words “gaunt”, “daunt”, “flaunt”, “haunt”, “jaunt”, “taunt” and then “aunt”. They should all rhyme!
