He didn't "chomp"!


I was in my friend's house, and his neighbor's dog was there. They gave him a treat, and I said:

 J - Oh my God, he didn't chomp!
B - What??
J - He didn't chomp! (and I made the mimic of chew)

 Of course he started laughing, and one more time I was wondering what was my mistake. Still laughing, my friend said:

B - That's chew, not chomp. This is chomp - and he made the mimic of chomp.

We both laughed, and he teased me for a long time for that.

Yeah, I said chomp! I think it was because I used to see it on comic books. :)
