I heard a guy talk like that and sounded sarcastic or unnatural, is It common ?

A stupid question, who manage the new words in english?
There are so many new words appear every year, who manage these?
You and her or You and she?
I came across this example while memorizing vocabulary. How can it use an object pronoun here instead of a subject pronoun?
Bring me over a beer, bring a beer over for me, bring over a beer for me?
Hi guys, If I want to use 'bring over' to ask someone to bring me a beer, how should I do it? I feel like 'bring me over a beer' does not work because the direct object is *me*, is it not? So I would be the one being 'moved' by the verb. But any other combination that I can think of sounds a bit awkward. Of course, 'bring me a beer' is the easy way out, but I would like to know how to say it with "bring over" Thanks!
How to pronounce ''Thr'' quickly?
Saying Three and Through is easy, only problem though is when you have to say it quickly. For example: "Thirty three years old" Like it just doesn't seem possible to make your mouth touch your front teeth and switch to the r position so fast. So maybe there's a way around this? Maybe natives found some way to say it without having to do the full movement?
Why is this wrong? Isn’t “ do one’s job” a common idiom? Thanks.

Is using "women" or "woman" instead of "female" to describe an occupation/position correct?
I see a lot of native English speakers, including news outlets using the word "woman" or "women" in phrases like "woman teachers" or "woman drivers" on the Internet. However it doesn't really make sense to me because I thought those words could only be nouns and "female ~" feels more natural and logical to me. Is there any particular reason people prefer to use the former?
What does 'yurt' mean here? I googled it and the results say it's a Mongolian tent.

Pronounciations on purpose because they are fun
What are some fun pronounciations people/you commonly like to use for simple words from everyday sentenced like instead of "so" it would be "saur" or "no" it would be "nurr".
