To wonder how my dd got to 14 thinking this was the real phrase?

We've all be ill on and off since they went back to school.
One morning Dd was telling me that she had a 'bummed up nose' I asked her to repeat it and she said the same.
I tried to clarify what she was saying and told her it was actually 'bunged up nose'. She laughed and thought I was joking!
She's decided she's going to carry on saying it the way she does Grin
Please tell me it's not just us. Confused

On my phone so can't see previous post but The Stranglers' Golden Brown lyrics are:

Lays me down,
With my might she runs

With my mind she runs...

My DD called plaits - flaps, scrambled egg - strangled egg, potatoes - b'tatoes, pyjamas- b'jamas. But then never believed that dungarees were called dungarees and thought I was teasing her.

"I thought the Irish Prime Minister was called the t shirt for far too long Blush"
Whereas I thought the Irish PM was called a tea-shop until well after the GFA , thatonesmine Blush

always thought that the Stranglers were singing "lays me down with my manshiro". I had no idea what a manshiro was but thought it might be some sort of Mexican musical instrument.

Err...what is it if it’s not manshiro? Blush

After a particularly bad winter my mum said “ I feel so bad for all those old people dying from hypochondria “ her friend fell about pissing herself laughing and mum was raging thinking she was being heartless 😂😂

From my cousin when she was about 3 or 4 years old... Gonad instead of Grandad.
From my Grandmother, still to this day... brassiere instead of brasserie and police wear flapjackets.

DH says reserv-wire instead of reservoir and it puts my teeth on edge.

minesagin37 · 04/10/2019 01:46

I always thought 'making ends meet' was 'making hens meet'!

My daughter gets muddled up with constipation, she calls it confident! It has led to some very confusing conversations Grin

Crying with laughter so much by p7 I need to leave the thread to calm down or risk waking DS 😂😂😂😂

On Mumsnet I thought I saw Dr Lock works hawking stork and pork, and takes a straw to pour more for Thor, who in days of yore wore micropore at war with a fork and oar.

My two daughters age 3 and 4, currently love to eat ducklings.

Dumplings.

My Dad says Netflisks instead of Netflix love him.

And peedy-a-phile for pedophile. Grin

Ifyousayso2019 · 04/10/2019 00:12

When my mum is shocked about something, rather than say "oh my good god", she says "oh my good night". I have no idea where she got it from!!

When Obama became president I was listening to some woman from the Deep South on the radio and thought she was talking about 'a bomber'. It took a while for the penny to drop that 'a-BAR-ma' was the new president.

My niece calls dressing gowns "dressing downs" Seems right.

My little one frequently asks for 'strangled' egg for lunch
He also told his father I had to put his sheets he vomited on on an 'oil wash'

My MiL says Mataland instead of Matalan. We smile but say nothing.

"Maybe it's my Scottish accent, but they do sound the same to me too! How can you say pork any other way?"

I'm Scottish and they DON'T sound the same to me. Pork = p-oh-rk, stork = st-aw-rk

My mum call flip flops “flip flaps”. It gives me the boak 🤢

RaaRaaeee · 03/10/2019 23:37

My three your old likes listening to queen in the car.. kept asking me to play “I’m 1,2 and 3”.. had no clue what song he meant so asked him to sing it and he did to the tune of “I want to break free” 😂

BabiaMajora · 03/10/2019 23:34

3yo me - used to say flakeemo instead of flamingo and sang about ‘little horde Jesus’ in the nativity (I was a big SheRa fan at the time). Grin

My favourite is from DS - lasterday instead of yesterday. He tells me he’s far too grown up to use it now he’s 5yo so the rest of the family and I’ve taken it on!

Has anyone else heard the Taylor Swift song where there is a line about Starbucks Lovers... I even googled it because it sounded cool and I was wondering if there was a new dating thing where you just rocked up at Starbucks and maybe ordered a drink that meant you got matched with a compatible date. I would order something smooth and dreamy, but occasionally a shot of expresso would be nice 😂😂

Unfortunately she is singing about a List of past Lovers...not as half as interesting.

On a more family based note, we now have to use the Constructions when building flat pack furniture etc as when DS was little he mixed construct and instructions together when building lego.
