One more thing to add to the list - people who say Canader.  You got the first two a's right, no reason to go all crazy at the end.

Why would adding "ar" in front of "kansas" turn "zas" into "saw"?  What a country!

That's just a portmanteau of "Canadian" and "hoser."  Let's see how many get that reference.

Heard one today that reminded me.  Bagel pronounced bag-el rather then bay-gul.  Have a friend who does this. I want to stab him in the throat but am too polite :D
