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? 😂

I’ve called it this for years!

I have a feeling I might say it so much I might actually forget the other pronunciation! Luckily we don’t have a mic-ro-wav-eh...

Yes poor old Joe Wicks got absolutely ridiculed for saying Wensleydalé when it was obviously a joke!

I once said "we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it" at work and a colleague smugly explained that the correct phrase was "cross that bridge"... Some people are such humourless twats.

I frequently call it the meecrowahv. I'm mortified now that my fancy microwave was always more French than Italian.

Gaze Bows to keep you dry as you sip your mo-jye-toes. and when you have a hangover, take a parah-cet-mol.

And if your'e hungry, have a fa jye tah. or some kwee-noah. The looks you get in public when you forget, and use them out loud!

DD (6) was most amused when I told her that “microwave” in Welsh is “poppity ping” so that’s what she calls it!

😂....personally whenever I have spinach I always call it spin-archie!!! These lot think I’m crazy for some reason, I just think it’s adding a bit of sparkle to a day

We pronounce pate as paahhhh-taaaaay from a really old SNL sketch where Dan Aykroyd was being Julia Childs ( oh now I’ve gone and cut myself and I’m bleeding all over the paaaaataaaaayyyy! ).

I can't understand how anyone could hate Nigella.

Oh and chicken kievs are 'keevs'.

It’s caught on in my house already, I think it’s hilarious😂 My maiden name was Jones and very boring and my slightly posh great gran was adamant it was pronounced Joan-ess. It caught on and my kids call my dad grandad joaness

It’s a bit like calling Streatham “St wreath-ham” or Clapham “Claaaam”

It’s a joke!

I love Nigella but Joe Wicks looks like Conchita Worst and I can't help thinking that when I look at him and it revolts me .. Sorry to all the fans out there (of both guys)

Horses doofers for hors d'oeuvres

We have loads of these in our house.
Quick-che is quiche.
Wee fee is the WiFi.

I’ve always enjoyed pronouncing the name Archie “Ark-ee-eh”. I was reading White Teeth on the beach in Italy once and an Italian looked at it and pronounced the name this way. I think it’s so nice!

Oh I do wee fee too!

I always quite liked Nigella but she can sometimes be a bit of a pain. Barefoot Contessa is much more annoying but I still love watching.

And don't forget a horse's doovre. We are meecrowavvey converts in this house . Always said the Coop and I am sure we have others. Nigella is great - her Domestic Goddess is still my go-to book for a lot of our favourite cakes (brownies, store cupboard chocolate orange, banana cherry & choc chip muffins - great recipes).

I like Nigella very much, she's warm and natural. I haven't seen her on TV recently so don't know about her microwave. Mine will continue to be called 'microwave'.

Wee fee here too, it’s what it’s called in some countries

Wish-dosher for dishwasher, I can now no longer pronounce or say it correctly

everytime I remember.

And I'll be trying to double butter my toast from time to time as well.

Wifi is whiffy. Ocado is ock-a-doh.

I like to say ‘vegetabubbles’ - it just makes them sound more exciting!!

Has anyone been brave enough to try one of her recipes yet?

Also my wi-fi is called wiffy.

😂

I still struggle with Quinn-ohh-ahh, how is that keynoir?
