accent on the wrong syllable

accent on the wrong syllable

fiction

I had a boss once who when he wanted to take anybody down a notch would describe them publicly as [having] "the accent on the wrong syllable". He covered a lot of ground with that insult but I always thought his observation was original and not conventional.

Such is the state of our Country now in the corona virus pandemic. America "accent on the wrong syllable". Everyone is out of step and stumbling to a fall.
