The most common shortcut I take when speaking out perl code is leaving off the colon-colon separator in namespaces. Like, just saying "apache DBI" instead of "apache colon colon DBI". If there's potential ambiguity, I'll sound out one colon, but never both. Occasionally one of the pedants I work with will "correct" this, but I don't care... to me it is correct.

One that actually annoys me is when the more micro$ofty types call a backslash a "whack". Just erks me.
