Children’s mispronunciations which have stuck.

[cheesersqueezer]

My son said ‘macamori’ instead of macaroni when he was younger. The whole family still refer to it as macamori, years later.

My friends son would ask for a ‘dinky dous’ when he wanted a drink of juice. We still say that now.

Any similar children’s mispronunciation’s which the whole family have adopted as their own?

Always felt conflicted over DH making a joke of them as admittedly they are very funny but I worry that repeating them in a positive light encourages negative speech development I do often force myself to stifle my grins when 'Lidl Mix' are on the television

Ninja eggs (kinder eggs)
Nachos intolerant (lactose intolerant)

Oosh - shoes
Flamin eagle - flamingo
B’jraff - giraffe
B’grilla - gorilla
Dada - propeller, ceiling fan or anything that spun round!
Dadacopter - helicopter
Bopple - bottle

Slightly off topic, but I had an Auntie Muriel, always known as Auntie Mu, my DD heard us saying her name but but misinterpreted it. She always pronounced it as Aunt Emu. My dear aunt remained that for the rest of her life and even signed it in birthday cards!

Oh I love these! We have a retility room and a merote as opposed to a utility room and remote. When she was little my dd was delighted that she had swang herself on the swing and when she needs help opening the door because she's carrying too much she says she's full of hands. We haven't corrected her on that one as it's hilarious

When dinner is put on the table we all say “Shot” Dd couldn’t get her tongue around “It’s hot.”

The dog's name has become dit-dy instead of Misty. DS can say her name properly now but we still use his baby name for her & don't think that will ever change back 😂

I'm afraid we still call butter "bugger", as this what DS loudly trilled out when we were looking for it in Tesco's.

My 16 yo teenager still says "utivity" room. We got him from "nativity" room but it seems we'll never quite manage "utility".

That reminds me of another two actually!

We have "tiddly room" for utility room, and we have "chicken" for kitchen.

How could I forget these? I literally said to DH "it's in the chicken" TODAY!

odindge ( orange)
wofe wofe (sofa)
futility room ( utility)
boiled head ( bald head)

DC all in late teens

Enginey instead of energy. Makes sense

Our current PM is Forest Johnson

My 6 year old has taken to calling hand sanitiser 'hanitiser'

I love it 🥰

And my son when he was little called a woodpecker a 'knacker knacker' which they are now know as in my house

My eldest daughter when small could never say blanket she used to say wankit

My little boy used to call milk shake shit shake when he was 2. It's still shitshake now.

Checkup - tomato ketchup

‘Wisburys’ instead of Sainsburys.

We use pack packs (backpacks)

We use a hoffa hoffa hole to turn the telly channels

Palm-snips instead of parsnips
Marks and Spensives

Urbatory = conservatory.

And my favourite:

Youmediddifier = dehumidifier.

Why eat a jam donut when you can have a jumbo nut? 😁

Both DC are teens now but two things have stuck with us:

Mossissins for Morrisons

And not really a mispronunciation, more not knowing the word but DC2 once said that someone on TV showing cleavage (I think it was Victoria Coren Mitchell on Only Connect) had "too much line" so we call cleavage "line" now.
