Al Pacino has ruined my day

[OfCourse]

DM rang last night and told me she had watched a film starring Al Paseeno -that's how she pronounced his name. DM has done this before, and I told her it's not 'Al Paseeno, it's Al Pachino'. So I told her again last night it's Al fucking Pachino.

DM is all narky with me today because I corrected her speech. Well, I said, when you call him 'Al Paseeno' it makes my teeth itch; which is apparently not good enough defence for correcting her and highly bad manners.

She has other words which I don't correct, keybab is one example.

I ended up apologising!

I went to a TexMex restaurant with a fairly new friend years ago and nearly choked on my Sol when she loudly announced she was going to have the "fadge-eaters".

DH says oction for auction. Also butt-cher for butcher. I don't understand either, but I've stopped arguing.

'Fadge-eaters' are what BIL2 & his family have at Chiquitos. They usually order them with jally-pee-nee-ohs and tortillas (rhymed with gorillas). But no guacamole (to rhyme with 'whack-a-mole').

I swear DH is adopted.

My DH used to drive an ordi car!
I am led in bed according to some.
My DM pronounces theatre as thee -e-ter!
Film. Pronounce all the letters.
Anyone else with a relative who asks for fish and chip? I swear one day that's all I will serve!!

DF says 'pitsa' (pizza) and 'rooksack' (rucksack), purely to annoy me.

My dad always said, from the seventies when it was on, Starchky and Hutch. I have the box sets and watch them when he is around at times, and that is STILL how he pronounces it...despite being told a jillion times it isn't right!

Exh says "accriat" for accurate, and "yet's" for let's (he even writes it!).

My DM says Brake-fast for "brekfust", Oorunge for "oringe" & Holibut for "halibut" - the last is apparently an accepted variant that no-one else in the world uses also Notting-hum & Birming-hum for "Nottingum & "Birmingum" I think she thinks these are posher & they seem to have started in recent years - certainly I don't remember them from childhood.

She also mispronounces people's surnames, even simple surnames - when corrected she keeps on with her version

DH says Reguly for "regularly" & will not get it right

DGM used to pronounce vase as "vorse"; DM pronounces every letter of Wed-nes-day - drives us all mad!

My mil says sammidges (sandwiches) and grain-,very bread.

My mum Thought Yosemite national park was said yos em ITE!

Oh no I have to confess, sometimes I say wo-R (no idea why) then correct myself and say "I meant water". Offered very cheeky DS(6) some wo-r then corrected myself; after accepting, he added "and well done for saying it correctly".

Friends DH refers to the make of car as Citreon instead of Citroen. He has only had one for the last seven years and washes it a couple of times a week so must see the name badge.

I love Al I had to click on this thread as I was imaging some Stella Street type disturbance.

I say troll btw, although I'm sure it's supposed to be trole.

Troll rhymes with doll.

Some of these are corkers.
My Nan, who is 80, has recently had women's issues so has been a regular visitor to the 'jyna-cologist' (as in va-jyna).
She proceeded to have a conversation with a waitress in the restaurant we were eating in about how lovely her jyna-cologist is
On the way out there was a portrait of Laurence of Arabia on the wall, she pointed at it and said "oooh look! It's Laurence of a Labia!"

She also once told me she had been in town, where she had seen a big demonstration.
I asked what people were demonstrating about, she said "it was that Wok fellow"
"Who sorry, Nan?"
"You know, Wok Gan, he was demonstrating bras!"

I think she meant Gok

My father says Orrdi for Audi. Drives me bananas.

My gran used to have spaghetti bol-ig-knees for dinner. A colleague used to say remember rather than remind as in 'remember me to do that later!' 'Why didn't you remember me to do that?' Wanted to smash my phone off her stupid face!!!!! Wasn't the only daft thing she said. Particularly bad was screeching 'I had a chinky on Saturday night' rather than Chinese take away. She sat 3 foot away from a Chinese chap .

You've just reminded me, my mother calls Sean Connery, SEEN Connery. So annoying!

DM seems to make up her own words most of the time.

"Prostrate" instead of prostate. I've given up on correcting her when she talks about her dad's "prostrate problems."

She says "volka" instead of vodka. "Peter" bread instead of pitta and "nugget" instead of nougat

She also, strangely, calls potpourri "PoT Puree"

And my dad would say CHOWbatta instead of Ciabatta

I say known as "no inn". Apparently this isn't correct. I cant help it. It's been pointed out to me and i have no idea.

XP and dd's say towel and owl as Taw-wool and aw-ool.

DS insists spaghetti is pronounced basgetti (hence my name).

My Dad thinks Macca Pacca from ITNG is called Waccy Baccy. Whenever he would watch it with DS or read him the book, he couldn't get it right.

Dh says 'comdoms' instead of 'condoms'. I've spent ten years trying to correct him but he always reverts back.

And my dad kept trying to feed me things full of 'frolic acid' when I was pregnant
