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? 😂

dishwasher = washing machine
shampoo = champagne
peanut butter = penis bastard
quiche = quince
lawnmower = grass hoover (from when I forgot the name once)

I like:

Par cark.

Chish and fips

Waity-rose

I'm having meecro-wahv-ay. Lovely.

@pussycatinboots

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?

Quinoa is pronounced Key-noir....

I like grass hoover

My mum used to call quiche "kitch"

Sorry as in the qui is the key sound. Something latin 🤷‍♀️

Yes, but Quinoa isn't spelled Key noir. It looks like quinn ohh ahh (or Quinn Noah)

Couldn’t stop laughing when I heard this 🤣 I used to know someone who pronounced ibuprofen eye—boo—profen

Yep we adopted it straight away. Reckon it will be on Gogglebox this week

I liked Nigella anyway but I'm now smitten after hearing the way she says microwave. I think she's fab and I wish I had her swishy hair.

We have 'woasty' in our house for breakfast!
Toast-y woasty!

Oh and in this has it’s “bah con san weesh” (no idea why).

We call shitake mushrooms shitache mushrooms, it was quite embarrassing once in Wagamama when I ordered a shitache dish. The waitress saw the funny side

My sister and I say washing up wiklid because that's how she said it when she was little and a friend of mine has testeeclays, not testicles.

As opposed to....?!

We have unjens in this house after DH just could not get his face around onion bhajis

And more recently, DS3 age 9 and his Yemen Loghurt

We have so many of these!!

Pate like Mate
Canape - Like -Can-ape (to rhyme with cape!)
Money - Mahoney
Champagne - Shampagnie

I'm am sure there are many more

Growing up scissors was always pronounced with a hard C.

We also have chish and fips, or burrrr-gerrrs.

There are also e-mer-da-dees (emergencies) courtesy of DS when he was tiny.

And my mum always used to say her star sign was Saggy Hairy Arse

I knew somebody once who never did anything like this, hated nicknames too, and was utterly appalled by people who did.

Uh... That's how it's pronounced... Unless you call it ibboo-proff-en?

How are you supposed to pronounce ibuprofen then?

Ih-BU-profen?

I-bu-pro-FEN?

Ib’pr’f’n?

The cherry crumble is good.

The gingerbread was doughy (very soft and sticky)but the kids ate it all.

I haven't tried anything with anchoves yet though.

Maybe a bit off topic but it reminded me of when my friend and I used to love the TV show ER, except she thought it was pronounced err...😂

I can only think eye-byoo-profen but I don’t think that’s different enough to warrant the post!

Love it! Gona call it that from now on

I’ve always pronounced it as eye-bee-profen, most people I know do too

Science Oven innit.
