  • Most people around me say The Tar-zhay.   It kinda drives me nuts honestly.

    It would drive me nuts if I heard people use it at all. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at January 8, 2018 12:56 PM MST

    OH,  that's what it is.  And here I always thought, that it was just me not much liking 'cutesy' names for stuff.

    Yep that is definitely OLD SCHOOL.

    It is not an insult, Piper.  It is just no nonsense, straight forward and nothing too fancy.

    Mispronouncing Target is not a new thing.....it has probably been around as long as the store. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at December 4, 2017 7:01 AM MST

    I always give certain stores their own names based on their locations. For example, there was a Target in a less than desirable area of the city where I used to reside, and that particular store was "Targhetto". 

    (In case you're wondering what brought me to such an old post (because I do wonder such things), I was looking at Piper's profile. She liked my post and I saw her profile pic, if you couldn't guess. )
