to find it annoying that people say onions like this?

[00100001]

"ungyuns"

Where does that added G come from?

Worra go to Dublin and you can order a 'Hang sangwidge' instead of a ham sandwich!

I could hear him say ung yuns quite clearly at about 0.56. It doesn't bother me, mainly because I talk a bit loike that anyways.
To answer where the g comes from I would guess probably the original French 'oignon'.

Never heard anyone say this. My mum does say 'kekkle' though for kettle. Drives me mad!!

Put the kekkleon.

It's not a bit of Frenchiness slipping in to it is it? My French is comically poor but doesn't the French for onions have a g in it?

I say onions like that, I've only just realised it's incorrect. I'm half Irish half Kent.

I say onion like Jamie does. I wish I could cut them like does as well.

I also say "Sangwidges" and "hambag".

x post with parsnip

I went to school in SW London and spent much of my adult life in SE London. I've heard it pronounced like that but I can't remember the circumstances.

My Mum says onion with a g. Scottish and Irish parents.

I am from south London

the sarf London accent is a new thing never heard it growing up

My Nan (also a Scot - I see a theme..) also adds a g to onion and says sangwich. The sandwich one drives me potty, onion not so much!

DH says sangwich.

Mum says sammidge.

We all say onion though

DH says it like on-eee-en with three syllables the utter bastard. I forgave him assuming it was his scouse accent, is it not?

Aaagh I just had to watch Jamie Oliver

My mum says 'Ospidall' for Hospital

and

Ambahlance for ambulance

and

Alldees for Aldi

and

Lidls for Lidl

and Tescos for Tesco

(Essex)

I say it like Jamie does.

I also say Hambag.

Never heard of an ongion.

My Papa says sanGwich though

Sangwidges is an old one my elderly ndn used to say it when I was a kid. He had a real Sussex accent you dont hear so much now.

Dh says ung yun. I pisses me right off! . I tell him every time there's no fucking g in onion!!!

I once (1970's) had a date with Maggie O'nions most amazing lips I have ever kissed, she got me off a traffic charge (having picked the gravel out of the traffic sergeant's bum). I think she married the next casualty SHO, wish them both well.

My DH calls them Honny Honny Hon-yuns.

Him and his school mates (he's now 32) have and continue to use a bizarre language, constructed at school and influenced by Wayne's World, South Park and a sadistically funny French teacher

I've been known to use it without realising .

We are the parents our teenage children will hate and think terribly embarrassing.

Bent double at O'nions

I'm in the South East and have always said it with an accidental G, my whole family does

I can't say I've ever put this much thought into the pronunciation of onions or possibly any word before .

In my head I thought I said un-eee-uns but when I said it out loud I realised I say un-yens. I'm from Yorkshire if that helps.

Where I'm from we pronounce the gate in Harrogate 'gut' so it's "off to Harrogut". I don't know why because gate itself is pronounced correctly...
