 One of my black friends in high school couldn’t say ask and would keep saying axe. Another friend of mine couldn’t stand it and would keep giving him shit for it. A few weeks later we were all making fun of each other and I said “well at least I know how to say ask.” He looked me dead in the eyes and said it perfectly for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. Then he said yeah get fucked. Turns out the other friend couldn’t stand and it helped him practice pronouncing it for a week. Funniest shit ever 🤣
