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?

Tuppatea for cup of tea

We get hungee rather than hungry.

Eczema is called Terrible.When ds first got it as a toddler I think one of us said oooh that's terrible let's put some cream on resulting in ds thinking that was the name of it he's 7 now and still calls it that.

My brother used to say 'plob' for the remote control (I have no idea why, it's not even remotely - if you'll pardon the pun - similar) but it's still a plob to my parents, my grandparents and me (and therefore DP and DSS now!)

Funny how it's stuck!

Zambys
Pens and neegles
Fot fot (ketchup)
Bumbum (cucumber)

When my son was a toddler he had a light padded coat on and he became hot - he said Mummy I’m leaking 😂so now when we sweat we always say we are leaking 😂

Hostibul
Night night, sleep tight, don't let the bunk beds bite.
Ish or ishy = muslin to cuddle. I think it came from "do you want this? I've got this here for you" because we couldn't really think of a word for it!

We have a few! DH and I still say these, though it's been many decades since the DCs did!
Tenchtuppa = temperature
Hostapul = hospital
Compar harsteppa = combine harvester
Elly hawhaw = helicopter

Babyleaf - bayleaf
Boonalloon - balloon
Oppama - octopus
Orrins - crayons
Raddy - for some strange reason this could refer to either a monkey or a nappy.

Most of these have fallen out of use (ds is 20) but we still often refer to a babyleaf or a boonalloon.

Stibs (crisps)
Parpum (thankyou)

Snorkers for binoculars, which has become my favourite word ever.

Par cark for car park and vine-e-gar for vinegar.

We also had pisgetti for spaghetti.
blama for banana, molk for milk.
My DS first word was gogurt - yogurt.
He also used to say outside in instead of inside out.
Another word he had, which isn’t a mispronunciation but a word I think should be introduced to the English language is schnorzing. It means to have your favourite toy/blanket/comforter under your nose, your thumb in your mouth and your other fingers hooked over your nose.
We would ask him what he was doing and he would say, “I’m schnorzing.”

Jamaamas instead of pyjamas
Juice bopbop- cup/drink of juice
Cockporn- popcorn
Noodalee’s- noodles

my grandson likes 'corn on the cob not on the cob' he also likes 'pisgetti' but dislikes 'crazy' crisps' (hot nachos) and likes the 'not red sauce' on a hot dog (mild yellow mustard). He does like a 'spicy' sweetie though (cola bottles)

We watch YoTub

Hospital is hostable
Banana is wah wah

Radiolater (radiator)

Windscreamers (wind screen wipers)

Bassgetti Spolgnayse

DNiece pronounced car keys as 'carcass' which stuck.

Pyjamas are 'Ajamas' and Police Officer is 'Keith Flosser'

Saw saws for sausages.
Friday eggs for fried eggs.

Breckf’tah for breakfast and pimmies for penguins🐧

We turn the tv on with the “moklin trole”

An egg is a ya-ya

Anything too hot and spicy was 'stingy'.
Cumbo for cucumber.
