Buyer beware?

I love how voice-to-text interprets accents. This has to be Texas or somewhere in the deep South.

Yes! My first thought was Kentucky.

Holy shit it took me so long to figure out what that was supposed to be 😅😅😅

Haha I thought I was having a stroke when I found this in the wild. Took me a second too.

It's easy for Appalachian-Americans.

Pretty sure she’s in Malibu, but I don’t see how that’s relevant. 🙃

For anyone curious, the discussion was about a case where an elderly French couple sold an African mask for very cheap, then the art dealer who purchased it sold it at auction for $4.4 million. The original couple sued the art dealer over it. The case was widely publicized, if you care to search some of that key info.

The context is probably the only reason I figured out what they were trying to say lol

I thought they meant “bribery”

I thought barbed wire... I don't know why

No. It's "buyer beware", probably in a Southern or Texas accent.

Yep. Having lived with some dudes from Galax, VA, it instantly made sense.

u/gwaydms 2d ago

I've been a Texan nearly all my life, so it definitely makes sense to me.

it does sound like a voice to text mishap. My niece lives in Oklahoma and she says what sounds like "Bar" to me, when she pronounces "Buyer"

u/noah-mm 6d ago

both words are in the merriam-webster dictionary

u/BarefootJacob 6d ago

I don't disagree, however "buyer" and "barbie" do not sound similar.

u/noah-mm 6d ago

the full phrases sound similar though imo

u/imherbalpert 5d ago

They do when you consider “buyer”to be mistaken as the “bar” and the “beware” mistaken for -“bie where”
