To wonder how my dd got to 14 thinking this was the real phrase?

[WellVersedInEtiquette]

We've all be ill on and off since they went back to school.
One morning Dd was telling me that she had a 'bummed up nose' I asked her to repeat it and she said the same.
I tried to clarify what she was saying and told her it was actually 'bunged up nose'. She laughed and thought I was joking!
She's decided she's going to carry on saying it the way she does
Please tell me it's not just us.

My DD heard the term ouija board the other day but thought the name was Luigi board.
A Luigi board sounds much nicer to me.

I got to well over 30 before I was stunned to discover a tipe rope is in fact a tight rope. I can see the logic but it will always be tipe to me.

DD always wears her Piniform to school

@Spied DD thought her pinafore became a pinifive and changed right up til her last pinifeight 😄

DH calls Pita bread Peter bread, it drives me nuts.

Pork rhymes with four
Stork rhymes with for
They are different sounds (in Scotland).
Can I explain it by saying that when you say “four” your top lip is sort of closed over your bottom lip and is making the English O sound that many foreigners find hard to say. But when you say “for” your top and bottom lips are both pointed outwards and it’s more like the open O sound that you get in Spanish or Italian.

Pork and stork just rhyme, I can't say them any other way! ....Reminds me a bit of monkey and donkey, that's always baffled me

Glad I'm not the only one muttering pork and stork here. I have a neutral accent, having grown up all over the country. They all rhyme in mine.
Husband has a mild West Midlands accent. All rhyme in his too.
Where are you Bluntness?

Oar and or and aw while being different graphene are all the same phonemes. They ALL rhyme.
Pork, stork, war, oar, pour, core, lore, law, for, four , your...all rhyme

how can law and war rhyme? Oh my goodness this is so confusing.

Monkey and donkey don’t rhyme!! What fresh he’ll is this?

Hell not he’ll

My friend at school when we were teenagers always said chotlit instead of chocolate.

One of the things I love about this is how it keeps reminded me of things they used to say.
The same dd as in my first post when she was about three ran her hand down my leg and looked shocked. 'Oh no mummy, I think you have prickly heat'
I shaved my legs that night

My 87 year old mother told me her dear friend had been diagnosed with 'dimension'. I did correct her and said it was dementia, but 10 minutes later she was telling my husband about her friend with dimension!!

Pork and stork do rhyme. End of.

When my cousin was younger she asked what kind of squirrel I was eating (it was mixed grill not mixed squirrel haha)

Glaswegian here- pork and stork are pronounced completely differently!

If you've got a bunged up nose and you say it out loud, "bummed up nose" is exactly what it sounds like

Pork and stork just rhyme, I can't say them any other way! ....Reminds me a bit of monkey and donkey, that's always baffled me 

Um. They're different.

Mun key

Don key

My brother used to despise Bidden. As in he was quite often told something was forbidden. He really did used to wonder why Bidden got all the fun!

The worst is when people say ‘on tenderhooks’

What? No. I refuse to have yet another illusion shattered. I'm leaving Mumsnet if it's not tenderhooks.

how can law and war rhyme?

How can they not?

@Motherinlawsdung They don't but they look like they should! a bit sneaky that

Law and war don't fucking rhyme. There's a pissing W at the end of one and an r at the other.

My mum 'struddles' ( struggles ) with certain phases too

My 8 year old says a dream come through instead of a dream come true. I don't correct him because it's too cute ♥️

I have read a lot of undergraduate exam answers papers this week referring to smoking sensation, not cessation.
