YES!!! Those....
We called them "sandspurs", but I've also heard them called "sticker burrs" or "buffelgrass".
Yep !
And I haven’t heard those words in years !
Last week, I was walking barefoot in the house & went outside for a moment.
And this post should go in the “Disturbing Realizations”...because
I can’t walk around barefoot outside like I did as a kid today, it’s uncomfortable !
This IS a disturbing realization.. And I can totally relate... I used to play outside barefoot all the time... Now I feel like I'm going to step on glass or something weird.... I wonder why that happens when people grow up....
When I was a child I ran around barefoot all the time. But back then I didn't have 180+ lbs bearing down on my soles.

Ha! I'm shy of 5'31/2, what they call here "shorties", so I will never have That problem... I hope.
I hope not. But there’s always this:
But, in the near future, you’ll need to take a driver’s test & also apply for license plates.
These things are getting ridiculously bigger each time & soon will also require a cop tp
patrol the traffic aisles.
its all for overweight lazies
And yes, they Are getting bigger... What a shame... ugh.

Always went barefoot at the beach and along the waterfront promenade, that is until the day some doggy doos squelched up between my toes. Not what I call funny, my wife, on the other hand, wrecked her make up.I used to play outside barefoot all the time... Now I feel like I'm going to step on glass or something weird....

electric shopping carts..... I understand.

So are the overweight lazies.
Something trivial that irks me is when people say "everythink" rather than "everything". I have a friend who does it all the time and no matter how many times I tell him to stop, he never does.
My first language was Spanish.
The teacher in elementary tried her darn best to make me pronounce the word “dog”.
Emphasizing the last part....og...it’s og...not uck !
My tongue insisted on saying , “duck”.
I rarely use Spanish now & hard as this may sound...in my case, the tongue adapted to the
language I use most.
Spanish is a hard language with respect to the tongue compared to English.
That’s why other languages like German for example if they speak English, there is still that
strong element.
I’m no expert in this , just my opinion on why some people pronounce some words as such !
I think if I'm speaking to, or listening to somebody who perhaps doesn't speak English as a first language, I would let them off this particular annoyance. It's only me being a snob.
My friend, however was born and raised in the south of England (and speaks no other language) and therefore has no excuse in my eyes.
I'm also terribly irked by how Americans remove the letter "u" from words like "humour" or "favourite".
But that's a different matter altogether.
Are you referring to spelling ?
Like “tyres” instead of tires ?
