Nigella and her Micro-Wav-eh 😬

[Baycob]

I know there is a lot of Nigella haters here, but I love her playfulness.

Will you be referring to yours as a micro-Wav-eh from now on? Will it take off? 😂

We adopted it immediately.

@Varjakpaw love it 🤣🤣🤣

She's just rocks, doesn't she? Sitting on her posh stairs praising the humble anchovy

I did & my DH looked at me like I was mental!
I love all these idiots though that think that that’s how she actually pronounced it and not just her being daft.

Pronounces*

I love it....

I also do my taken on this champagne is sham-pag-na

I thought it was just me that did that hahaa, quiches are also kwee-shays in our house 😂

I've loved her ever since How To Eat, where she says in the 'cooking for one' section that the great thing about cooking for yourself is you don't have to worry about other people's 'tiresomeness about anchovies'.

I loved it and will be pronouncing it the same way from now on 😂 I’ve never understood the Nigella hate

It almost makes me want to go and buy a micro'wavah just so I can refer to it as such.

So true !

We always say pate to rhyme with mate, and we do get funny looks in the supermarket. We forget not to do it out of the house.

Anchovies are the food of the gods. Anchowveys

Poor old Joe Wickes' Wensledalay didn't catch on anywhere except in our house

She is so awful I cannot watch her at all. Although I am hoping that this is shown on Gogglebox this week as their comments on micro-wav-eh will be gold

We call jalapeños 'jal-app-a-noes' and fish 'feesh''. It's just that daft stuff you do at home isn't it? Like saying Coop instead of Co-op.

I think it’s brilliant and I’ll be saying it too!! It’s exactly the kind of thing I’d do - pronounce words as though they were phonetic like that! (Or as though they are Italian which I suppose she was going for , but Italian is really phonetic)

I always say “the Coop”!

I think every household has a few of these. My husband always say Mahoney for money and the kids have joined in as well, it was something we started when we were out shopping once and he'd forgotten his wallet and it's just stuck.
I love nigella!

What do I need to watch to hear this please??!!

It's here www.thepoke.co.uk/2020/12/08/nigella-lawson-has-a-very-particular-way-of-saying-microwave/

I've called it a micro wav eh for ages (pre Nigella vid).

It's like examples upthread - silly family ways you say things.

She said she was only messing about, and doesn't actually pronounce it that way. But some people on the internet have been really nasty about here/towards her. Especially on that toxic cesspit Twitter.

We call Morrisons Mor-izons to rhyme with horizons. It sounds much fancier!

It instantly became the term of choice in our household
