Pseudo-intellectualism. Please ensure correct grahamer and spellin’.
ugh...
Pokey Tele

That's the slangs you don't like or your reaction to this thread?
some people have too much time on their hands to worry about things like this post , while valid in its own context if you believe it, there are more things of importance than worry that some one calls a collection of guitars a herd. have fun!

It would probably be prolly. Not really verbal slang, but jeeeze it's only two more letters.
poberbly?

People from New Orleans and surroundings cannot say "ask." It comes out "aks" (or "ax"). I noticed that when I moved to SE Louisiana from north Louisiana over 50 years ago.
And, for the record, it’s “p’ups.” With the apostrophe, it’s a legit contraction. Word.
I use pups but it is an unfortunate short form.
They can. It takes a tiny effort and then it becomes habit.
I was at KFC and a guy ordered a bucket of chicken. He aksed for the Extra "Cripsy." Try to say that. Crispy. It's weird the first few times, but you get it.

Tele. It's "Telecaster" just like a Television isn't a "Telly". I hold the Brits...er, uh, I mean the British responsible.

I've never liked "Axe"

I mean, if a Telecaster can be a Tele and a Stratocaster can be Strat, then can a Broadcaster be a Broad?
"I got a Broad, and she's a good'un."

I have never liked hearing guitars referred to as axes. I further deplore it when someone uses the term “reached out” to indicate they contacted a person. I mentioned this in another post somewhere on here. It is rampant nowadays and I hate it. It seems to me that the phrase should be reserved for what someone does on their deathbed or maybe in an orgy situation. The cringiest sentence in the universe might be something like, “I reached out to an old friend to see if he was ready to sell his old axe I always admired.”

I agree that pups is annoying, but I do use it, though never orally, just when writing. And the the only time I write about pickups in really any context is on this forum. So, my thorough laziness and embarrassing indoctrination is at least somewhat contained.
