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?

Friends daughter referred to Arty Deety for R2D2. Still say it now 20 years later.

Pedestranes for pedestrians.

Neckflips for Netflix.

Hac-hac Donald’s when we fancy a burger and fries
Been saying that for over ten years

Some more

Gulk instead of milk.

Bisps were crisps.

Opal Fruits/Star Bursts are Firework sweets.

Sainsbury’s was Orange Tesco

Nephew (now in his 30s he’s actually only a few years younger than me) called eggs ‘up eggs’ for boiled and ‘down eggs’ for fried. Entire family still calls them that.

There’s a pub near us called the Saracens Head which my niece renamed Darren’s Head.

Another niece looked forward to our trip to the Ha-London Haquarium which we also still use.

The utility room here will always be known as the titty room

These are so funny....

I do pilatoes not pilates

Breaksaft instead of Breakfast!

Not really a mispronunciation but nostrils are snuffs in our house.

And a mock family insult is to tell someone they smell of a chicken- ds3 said this to much older ds1 when ds1 had been cooking said bird. He meant to say he smelled like chicken, not of an actual chicken which we think probably smells quite different. Though we don't own any live ones to confirm the insult.

I love all these, especially @hollanda40 's washbean!

We have cumcuber and hand tanisizer

We say lolly pops to cereal as my dd3 used to like honey pops and mispronounced it.
Before dd3 did that though, cereals were called shaky shaky. 🤷‍♀️

Raining cheese - grated cheese
Fireman bread - French toast. From when ds was a very fussy eater, but obsessed Fireman Sam.

In Northern Ireland we have Ice Lollies from Dale Farm and one is called a Pear Picking Porky. My DS used to called them Fer fucking forkys. 15 yrs later we still refer to them as Fer fuckers.

Magpies are bagpipes

Lunch is lump

We’ve a few that have come from DH’s childhood
Foffofs - sausages
Ogglies - yogurts
Chip carvena- combine harvester

Now our DD is talking, we’ve got some new ones in circulation, mostly BAIIIIII instead of bye, teeeese for cheese and diggadig which we have no idea what it means but we use it for random things

Betty Scolonase.

My baby brother used to say he was “all fishing” when he was ‘all finished’ eating- and that’s stuck.
So usually it’s “are you all fishing?” Or “Nah I don’t want any more- I’m all fishing”.

Merote instead of remote(controller)
Fluffily for bits of dust or fluff

My DS has prombles instead of problems. And if he (or anyone else) needs a bit of space and calm they want some "peach and quiet".

@ArwenTheGreat DD4 says mishymashy for mashed potatoes and that kind of makes me laugh. Last year pre lockdown I took her to a local pub which did food. The landlady asked what she wanted and she said "Your lovely sausages and mishymashy". :) My two are nutters lol

Kennington Background

@MammaMiaWallace

Bellypopper instead of helicopter

I think this is what the BFG calls them too?

His slippers were his piers and we sat on cetseat, the settee, we still use those words, he's 40

My DD used to call Seagulls, Seagirls ; she wondered why there were no Seaboys!

Cwoc-ah-da-wa for crocodile
