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 mum, inher 60s says

Chimleys for chimneys

Calls clackets lane , cackets lane and adds an "ING" into the name of local road by her....

Each one we have corrected her but to no avail.... we just laugh about it as she will never change.

But the most annoying is the way she says "Ariel" for the little mermaid.... she says "A-re-el and I can't bear it!

My parents would always call a toll gate a troll gate and we’d pull up and they’d say “time to pay the troll better hope it’s not hungry or it’ll want one of you kids to eat”

It took years before we realized it was a joke and toll roads were not troll roads where you paid trolls in troll booths instead of them jumping out from under bridges and causing traffic jams.

Waldrobe to store clothes.
Ds 24...
Floordrobe used by teen ds's...

[SistersOfPercy]

so how many of you thought the lyrics to 3 Lions were...

Three Lions on a shirt
Jewels remain still gleaming

Because I'll bet a good portion of you sing that as well.

[IdblowJonSnow]

I thought the song 'dirty old town (toon)' was dirty old tarn. Consequently unable to pass a lake without singing it...

[Gooseygoosey12345]

Not really the same but DS(2) calls his Pooh Bear (Winnie the Pooh) "butt change bear" 😂😂 he'll be known by that forever

[SilverChime]

Round here the phrase “bummed up” means “constipated” 😂

[CustardCreamLover]

I used to think row row row your boat ended with life's a butter dream so combined with the PP upthread we got the entire song wrong!

[iklboo]

DS used to tell us he saw a statube of Dark Vader and his Life Saver.

He tried eating lompster but preferred scrumpled egg.

[AiryFairy1]

We also have “trickle treating” here, and their school has a lot of festibals, not such young kids here - I think it’s cute

[Chouetted]

sticky foot for certificate...

[windandme]

@BertieDrapper is she from the West Country? All my family say it and it was only when I got to 40 I realised it was not 'chimley'.

[Mrbay]

I thought eton mess was Elton's Mess for years - yes as in Elton John, seems perfectly logical that would have the time to knock up a new dessert!

[butteryellow]

Continuing the Star Wars theme, I have to keep a completely straight face as DS calls the little green guy Master Yodeller - because if I laugh, he'll stop saying it.

My husband says pork like it rhymes with stork, it drives me nuts and I want to punch him when he says it.

[Casander]

Not a pronunciation so not quite the same but I was an adult when I realised a Haggis wasn't actually an animal thanks dad

[tmh88]

I use to say clompicated and I still really struggle now to say complicated and not clompicated

[OMGshefoundmeout]

My DS used to call Marks and Spencers ‘Marks and Spensive’ because I used to complain about the prices in there. That one has stuck.

Gonna need some help here - can you describe more how they might be said differently?

My GP ran a green grocers and florist when i was little. She used to say that the "Old Sailors were coming today" i used lookout for old men in blue bell bottom uniform , but they never turned up. It was back in the 60s.
Asked my mum why the Old Sailors never turned up, she laughed and explained it was "Wholesalers" doing a delivery.

@Bluntness100 Pork does rhyme with Stork doesn't it? Have I been saying it wrong for 35 years?! 🙈

[DadDadDad]
