People of a certain age have historically struggled with pronouncing certain words.
It took years for them to get "quinoa" right.
They still add an "s" onto "Target."
It's like they speak their own language.
My grandma can’t pronounce forever 21 she just says “forty one” 😭😂
But there's one word that is vocally impossible for them to pronounce:
No matter how hard you try, they just can't get it right.
I just spent an hour trying to teach my grandpa how to say Chipotle. I love old people.
It's a known phenomenon.
Things I don’t understand: 1. Why old people can’t pronounce “Chipotle”
And we have no idea how we've gotten here.
Why do all old people say chipotle the same way. Where did that come from
There are many ways they butcher "Chipotle."
Things I don’t understand: 1. Why old people can’t pronounce “Chipotle”
There's the classic "Chip-ole-tay."
why do old people pronounce chipotle like “chip-ole-tay”
The equally as common "Cha-pole-tee."
Why do old people call Chipotle “cha-pole-tee” 😂
Sometimes they call it "Chipotle's."
Old people love calling Chipotle “Chipolte’s”
Sometimes they call it "Che-po-lay."
Why did my grandma just pronounce chipotle like “Che-po-lay” 🤣
And sometimes, for God knows what reason, they add an "r" and call it "Chipportal."
Love when old people can't pronounce chipotle, some dude in my office calls it "chipportal"
It looks like this is one thing we'll never know.
Old people can't pronounce Chipotle. It's like dealing with computers for them
Until then, keep on teaching your elders.
Just taught my grandma how to pronounce "chipotle" for a half hour 😂
Someday they'll learn.
Just taught my grandma how to say 'Chipotle' again and she now wanders around saying, "Chipotle" and it's wonderful 😂
