Lightheaded and not judgey as I often spell things wrong!

Someone posted on a recipe group on Facebook asking for ideas of what to make with some beef mince. One of the replies was ‘spaghetti ballanayse’Grin

Anyone else seen any great ones!?

I've seen "fanticy" on here in the last 24 hours. Never seen that as a variation before!

delilahbucket · 18/07/2020 14:16

Haha, I got side tracked writing my post and someone beat me to it!

I've just seen "North Career" instead of North Korea.

It took me a second to realised what he actually meant!

I bought some fishcakes from M&S once and when I opened them the inner box was labelled "thia-style fishcakes"!

@piefacedClique

This cracked me up too
I don't get this one - can someone tell me?

I once put my auto-reply on at work as I would be out for the day, and signed off 'Kind retards' by mistake!!!

Luckily a colleague let me know as soon as she got my auto-reply and I changed it. Mortifying.

@BikeRunSki

My old boss talks about plans coming to “fruition” and decisions having “president” (precedent).
What's wrong with the plans coming to fruition?
BikeRunSki · 19/07/2020 06:35

@MyOtherProfile, I corrected myself a but later. I fell foul of autocorrect. My old boss Issac to say “fruit ition” instead of fruition.

MyOtherProfile · 19/07/2020 06:35

Sorry - realised others asked that same question after I posted.

@TheYellowOfTheEgg

My favourite mistake in a mumsnet subject header was "I've been walking around with my labia sticking out all day" . It turned out that she meant label, but it made me wonder what the hell she was wearing.
An in the depths of a fairly grim episode of depression but this? This actually made me snort out loud. Thank you!

“Definate”
“He's” instead of “ his” (“He’s dad let’s him stay up too late” - just seen this one on FB! Seen it so much recently!)
Not spelling mistake but getting this saying wrong, “third world problems” instead of “first world problems”.
Their, they’re, there.
Your, you’re.

My son's called Dhruv and I once managed to book him into a zoom call as Shrub!

@piefacedClique omg that's amazing 😂😂😂

piefacedClique · 19/07/2020 22:52

Some one shared it in the uk ladies peloton group from the main page! Too funny!

Cheveron instead of Siobhan

I once has Chevorn, Shivon, and Shervorn in the same class! Don't get me started on Niamh. Neem, Neeve Nerve were some variations I've come across.

piefacedClique · 20/07/2020 11:33

I had a pupil called Yihane.... his mum likes the name Ieuan but had no idea how to spell it so went for the best guess!

cricketmum84 · 20/07/2020 11:50

Cheveron instead of Siobhan

my middle name is Siobhan. I used to work with a woman who would constantly pronounce it as Sabina!

@Avelosa
@MrsFruitcake Arthur Rightus sounds like a lovely man Grin
Actually, he's a right pain in the neck! 😂

Years ago, a mn thread started by someone who was having a pot luck dinner and mentioned preparing a platter of Cru de Tays.

Harrykanesrightsock · 20/07/2020 14:05

A family member of DHs wrote quooty for cutie. Plastered all over the house on baby photos of her son on his 18th. Took me a while before I grasped what it was supposed to be.

TooMuchEyeliner · 20/07/2020 14:18

Loving these!

Someone I know recently referred to a difficult job as being a ‘boorlake’ Grin

thecatneuterer · 22/07/2020 18:55

Someone I know recently referred to a difficult job as being a ‘boorlake’ I just had to say that out loud about 10 times before I got it.
