Are there any words you feel really awkward/self conscious saying?!

[ABlindAssassin]

For me it's 'gig'. I can't say it out loud without wanting to cringe/wince/apologise. It makes me feel really fraudulent!

Am I the only one? Does anyone else have words they just can't use?

*posh twats
*friends
🤦‍♀️

Statistic or statically because I can't say it -once my tongue makes the stat sound it doesnt want to move again 😆

I hate saying croissant

Damp
Moist
Nibble
Throb
Shudder

I feel like I'm reading Fifty shades fan fiction or something. It makes me cringe when other people say those words too

Dizzy, that’s what I was going to say (or not) - phenomenon. I just can’t pronounce it!

My own name 🤣🤣

Polling station - only seems two ways to say it one sounds weird and posh and the other affectedly Mancunian so I hate having to say it

Also other similar words like

Trickle
Caress
Tender

Also the word ooze.

Bain Marie. I worked in a chip shop for several years as a teenager and made a point of never saying it while I was there. It’s not a word that crops up often but I can’t bring myself to say it. Also croissant.

I avoid saying it at all costs

Glacier. I can never decide which way to pronounce it. I'm a geography teacher so that's ideal.

Arkansas

Vermouth

Yes, to gig and yes to people just telling you someone's nickname. "Here's Macca". "Well, he's not Macca to me, not yet."

Can't say uni - same feeling as saying gig out loud. Or chagrin. Feel it needs it to be said with flourish.

😂

Boogie. Funk/funky.

Years ago, a bar in my hometown - 'Mulrooney's' - had a speciality pizza called the 'Pizzarooney'. It looked really nice, but I could no more have said to the waitress 'I'll have a Pizzarooney, please' than I could swim the Channel.

Juicy - I feel like I’m saying something incredibly rude

No one in my family for generations could say any ol word like gold fold sold ect. I taught myself how to say it when was doing my teacher training. My sister just avoids those words.
I don't know how to say children ?! I thought I did but a child in my class said I say it wrong and now I hate saying it.

Funk - as in the type of music. Just can't, it makes me cringe. It's such a stupid word.
Platter - makes me feel a bit sick.
Theatre - I try to avoid as I was brought up saying it to rhyme with 'he ate her' and default to this if I can't see it coming up.

Know what you mean. I had a Danish boyfriend years ago called Bent.

Anyone who wants me to call them ‘Bex’ when their name is Rebecca. I can do Becky but find Bex so over familiar when I’ve just met someone.

Sartre as in the philosopher. In fact lots of wanky French pronunciations that I’m not sure how to say. Chocolat the film is another one.

Gosh yes !!!! 🤢🤢🤢

I absolutely can not pronounce the word violent so avoid saying it as much as possible

A bit niche, but I struggle with Accenture. I can't work out if it starts with "accent" or "ascent".

@LetHimHaveIt Exactly, DH plays boogie woogie piano but none of my acquaintance will ever know because I can't say it without feeling really embarrassed!

Filet o fish is another one
