"Food shopping" and other bizarre phrases

A picture "made" instead of "taken"-
"Have you had your picture made yet?" or "I went to a great photographer to have my picture made"
It sounds so awkward!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this phrase in my life

Was this thread started by one of the people who had, somehow, never heard the phrase “I’m shook” before?

I wondering how deep in the DCUM archives someone went to pull up a 9 year old thread on the term "food shopping" and why.

Some of these are clearly regional based on some of the posts. And dialect differences around the country are interesting, although they have certainly diminished. My dad said that when he was growing up you could barely understand an Iowan (he grew up in northern MN) but radio and TV eventually changed that.

I never heard "on accident" until not many years ago. I remember my mom at times saying she was "shook." She could also be "put out" (annoyed) but when I used that phrase to my manager (from Chicago) he understood a very different meaning.

My husband who isn’t from the US originally calls everything marketing. When I first met him he told me he doesn’t like marketing and would I be able to handle that. Sure I love shopping. When he complains now that I spend or shop too much I tell him he asked for it !

Gosh "on accident" hurts my ears but my kids have pointed out that it's perfectly fine to say "on purpose" so there ya go.
