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?

We wear sun scream here, and celebrate the Fork of July.

I can Kia for IKEA (this has stuck from the CBeebies days, dd is now 12!)

Bappries for batteries
Remoke for remote control
Mokorbike for motorbike

My boy really struggle with the “ot” blend so some of his mispronounciations have stuck with us.

Eye dentist (opticians)
Glasslers (Glasses)
Bedtime table (bedside table)

Oh and ‘gone appeared’ (disappeared)

We have Knee Armpits,

Radigator and of course Square Words.

We spend Mow (pronounces like cow) for money.
New eat beebosh (brioche) and caggots (carrots)

These made me smile. We still use duck spots instead of goosebumps.

we go to hostible in an ambience if we get peas and noodles

Our local hospital has a minor injuries unit where my DD has spent quite a bit of time

Once she referred to it as miniature injuries so that’s stuck...

Mulk- milk
Helipoppopter- helicopter
Trolay (with a sort of French accent) - trolley

Not a children's one but DH, once (he had a brain tumour and was quite forgetful, but this one became a family joke and is still used now): the restaurant chain Giraffe - he called it Gi-raffy when he saw it written down

Mental soup for lentil soup
Nervous rhymes, for nursery rhymes
Dosh wisher for dishwasher
Keefies for rice krispies
More some keefies for a second helping - we still use “more some”!
Gravy blue for navy blue
Radio-on-it for deodorant

We still say cupincum - cucumber and salad sauce - salad cream. Dd is almost 16.

"Shoo shoo me" for excuse me
"Shamaloo" for marshmallow
"Hi-hop-copter" for helicopter

Also can't listen to ABBA's "Super Trouper" without singing "super trouper pizza pona piney" instead of "beams are gonna blind me"

Also "baa baa black sheep halloo welly woo"

Funny how these things stick around long after the toddlers years

Occasionally oohwa for water. Choclock.

Cinnamunamuna - cinnamon
Brekstuck - breakfast
Pottage - porridge

There’s probably more - DD always v creative with language.

Spicable d me - despicable me film when it first came out and it was favourite so it was repeated over and over. Still call it that. Thanks OP has brought back some great memories of what they used to say.

Parnips and tursnips from DD

And my brother used to love 'digested' biscuits when we were little

Bampet for blanket. Dinnies for dinner.

Gloves are Glubes here

My DD has also changed the dogs name from Misty to Mista when she was one, which has stuck even though the dogs a girl 😂

We still like to eat melontines (clementines) as a snack. Have to force myself to use the correct word word when speaking to non-family members

Kajamas for pyjamas
Underbrella for umbrella
Squealish for squeamish
And my current favourite - ceemies (see-mees) for cm (centimetres)

Pins and noodles

What-a-do-a-day (what are we doing today)
Gimote control (remote control)
A monkey (I'm hungry)
School-hotel (show-and-tell, it did take me a long time to figure that one out)

Oh yes and Heliburger for helicopter
