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 liked her books but her TV presenting style makes me squirm, its definitely for the chaps. Its not her fault but she reminds me of DC's awful primary head.
@sparklewater

My now 18 year old once tried to say concussion but said conquerpussion so that's what that is here and spaghetti is skabetti as my son couldn't say spaghetti

@ApolloandDaphne

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

I just read that a second time in the 'style' of Viz Top Tips and it made me chuckle

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz

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

I want her stripey stair carpet, her entire kitchen, her paved seating area in the garden, her leopard spot knife, her fairy pan, her freezer with drawers, her red chilli shelf, her walk through larder, her cupboard of kitchen stuff.

The only thing we both have are the clip things on the opened bag of pasta.I knew she was my long lost sister when I saw we both have those.

I don’t want the electric potato masher, it looked fun but I bet it’s a bugger to clean.

peanut butter = penis bastard
I need the story behind this

Yes, but Quinoa isn't spelled Key noir.
No but as the poster says, that's how it's said. The 'Qui' makes a sound like 'key' in Spanish.

Science Oven after Jennifer Lawrence in American hustle in our house, hate it and much prefer the oven and a Pirelli dish but the twenty something kids can’t live without it.

@KittyB52

How are you supposed to pronounce ibuprofen then?

Ih-BU-profen?

I-bu-pro-FEN?

Ib’pr’f’n?

I was wondering this.

Iboo-PRO-fen is my guess.

Love Nigella! We call Morrisons, Morrins, as that is what our DS called it when he was smaller and it has stuck.

She;s fab and really down to earth, always responding to fans messages and comments on SM

We say MICK Ro wahve in a faux French accent here
No idea why

I say fairy up liquid.
And I know it's wrong but I can only pronounce the painkiller as eye-bee- broofen

Lidl is Li-dell. Double buttered toast imo is best buttered, popped back under grill till bubbling, then buttered again. Have GP on standby.

We say Morrison’s in a French accent. And fish and chips is Fit and chip after we once saw a misspelling on a menu. My mum always used to call Branston pickle ‘Panny-Ann’ pickle. I still don’t know why.

Lidl, being German, is correctly pronounced "Lee-dull" with a short "dull", IYSWIM. But people look at you like you've grown horns if you do that, so I don't recommend it.

We have canapes (to rhyme with apes) and kweeshes (quiches), or just egg pies in this house. Also chicken Kevs.

The best one I ever heard was some teens on a bus discussing their recent purchase of an "Xbox Eeeee light" (Xbox Elite).

It's PanYan pickle. It used to be a brand.

Ah Captain thank you. A childhood mystery solved.

I love all these idiots though that think that that’s how she actually pronounced it and not just her being daft.

Some people are easily fooled.

She does my head in...

Another who says pate to rhyme with hate, and canapés to rhyme with apes.

Instead of Matalan we say we’re popping to Matt and Alan’s

Qwitches, chicken Kevins and a water oven (washing machine) here. And a wish-dasher...

@VienneseWhirligig

Oh and chicken kievs are 'keevs'.

They are 'kevins' here 😁

Can-apes and crud-dites ( like luddites)
And worcestcester-shire sauce.

I remember a neighbour offering me a canapé once with "canape?" pronounced like can + ape. He was definitely joking though. You have to be a bit careful when and where you use a funny pronunciation in case someone thinks you're serious, as in the example upthread of "pate" for "paté".

We say 'wash-upping liquid' and various other silly things which I can't remember at the moment.

Quiche = quish
