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?

Jacket potato is "jack-in-the-tato" (ds1)

Open is "umple" (ds2)

Computer is "cooter-tooter" (ds1)

Hammersmith and City line is "ham-and-cheese-and-city line" (ds1)

food is "tooooooood" (ds2)

DD now 22 used to say BB Bike for motorbike so that has stuck

DS now 16 couldn't say screwdriver until he was about 9 so it is forever known as a doo haber

Not so much a mispronunciation but a code word was DH would say SWs instead of sweets when they were small, DS still asks if he can have some SWs sometimes!

San-bee-tizer
Bis-ghetti

Anything too hot and spicy was 'stingy'.

Your kid speaks sense you should definitely listen to them.

Glubs: Gloves
Patterpillar: caterpillar
Spiky: Spicy

We still go to the sukamarket for our groceries.

And we comment on what a good remembory my dd has.

Oh yes, we also say spikey instead of spicy, courtesy of my goddaughter.

And we talk about peeyee for sports in school after seeing it written down like that by a younger child.

Ours are Paddington tower we live Hannington Tower. Stacey’s lorries are now known as daisy lorries. Jarme’s for PJs and in the song by Smashmouth the world is macaroni

We always had to tuckle DD in.

We have cufflinks for breakfast, DS had a toy Hoppygrass and my DN used to call vegetarians vegetableterrigans.

We eat eeyocks instead of yogurts and also have a morote

Oh and trousers were leg sleeves

Crunchy nut cornflakes are “back breakfast”, because we used to hide it behind the Weetabix.

“Flossom” (blossom)
We did, however, correct her on “cockporn”

Prawns and Cones instead of Pros and Cons.

I actually said that in a meeting once, much to everyone's bemusement

DS1 called bras "boobieknickers"

Ips for slippers
Sketty mince for Spaghetti Bolognese

My dad will always be GaGa, my eldest daughter started calling him when she couldn't say Grandad, he loves it, even though my DC are nearly 30 and 28.

DS1 (16) still says 'otay' for OK. He even uses it in text messages. And 'tant find it' when he can't find something. Both based on 2 year old him.
We also 'un-insideout' clothes

DS2 (14) still talks about 'bampires' rather than vampires. He's quite sad that his niece has learned to say his name properly though.

Black toast intolerant - Lactose intolerant.
Buttocks - Botox (ha asked me if I had Buttocks as the nursery ladies were talking about it)
Sand in my shoes- pins and needles

My little brother (now 41) came up with glubs - gloves

Yorkshire puddings are oxygen puddings here, and malted milk biscuits are moocow biscuits

We have teeninjas rather than teenagers

Not a mispronunciation but my daughter could not remember a word so described the item as 'more up trousers' - which is now the only name we use in this house for shorts!

Our windows have silly-wills (window sills) and we have hanger-coats in the wardrobes.
