This thread is hilarious! Time to get off the mac and cheese discussion, though.

I'm pretty sure I say macaroni and cheese (with an "and" not a "with"). I didn't realize that was a thing.

You and PP's MIL are correct. "Mac and cheese" is the nickname.

I'm also team MIL on this one!!

Look it up, OP. It's "mac and cheese" for pretty much every brand that sells it. Your MIL probably thinks you're the one who sounds dumb.

Dontcha just love it when Forest Gump chimes in?

Th OP said that MIL says macaroni WITH cheese. That is what's weird. Of course "mac and cheese" is a normal thing to say, no one is arguing that.

"Stevie Wonder could see that coming" in basically any situation she can possibly say it. All the time.

My in laws say bunkie for bottom. As in "does Larlo have a diaper rash on his bunkie?". Ew.

Mil says "shee shee" for pee pee for the little ones. It doesn't bug me per se but I don't get why it's better than pee pee.

Dh's family all say "on accident" instead of by accident but they say that's a California thing.

It's Kraft dinner or KD in Canada and cheesey pasta in the U.K.

when people here say macaroni and cheese and it's kraft mac/cheese I'm frankly horrified. In the U.K./Canada "macaroni and cheese" means home made/real cheese etc.

Lol my mom is from.colombia and when she speaks in English she translates (literally) some Colombian expressions that sound funny.
A donkey talking about ears
I give you my hand and you take my foot
You're peeing out of the toilet

Just some I can remember off the top of my head
My FIL says "moreish" if something is tasty. They're southern and have a lot of southern expressions, which I find endearing

PEOPLE. LEARN TO READ.

The argument isn't whether "macaroni and cheese" or "mac and cheese" is right--those are both right.

The issue is that mac WITH cheese and macaroni WITH cheese are both WRONG.

Oleo for margarine. I think that went out in the 1930s, before she was born. Also chronically mixed up the order or place names, like First United Church is United First Church, every time.

Both MIL & FIL say "Whoopsie!" if something spills or falls. So does DH. They say this even when there are no kids present. I think they all sound like addled preschool teachers.

Wash the windas
"short pants" instead of shorts
"He has the vomiting virus." (Is the virus actually vomiting? Or is it the patient?)
