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 niece calls dressing gowns "dressing downs" Seems right.

When Obama became president I was listening to some woman from the Deep South on the radio and thought she was talking about 'a bomber'. It took a while for the penny to drop that 'a-BAR-ma' was the new president.

When my mum is shocked about something, rather than say "oh my good god", she says "oh my good night". I have no idea where she got it from!!

My Dad says Netflisks instead of Netflix love him.

And peedy-a-phile for pedophile.

My two daughters age 3 and 4, currently love to eat ducklings.

Dumplings.

Crying with laughter so much by p7 I need to leave the thread to calm down or risk waking DS 😂😂😂😂

On Mumsnet I thought I saw Dr Lock works hawking stork and pork, and takes a straw to pour more for Thor, who in days of yore wore micropore at war with a fork and oar.

My daughter gets muddled up with constipation, she calls it confident! It has led to some very confusing conversations

I always thought 'making ends meet' was 'making hens meet'!

DH says reserv-wire instead of reservoir and it puts my teeth on edge.

From my cousin when she was about 3 or 4 years old... Gonad instead of Grandad.
From my Grandmother, still to this day... brassiere instead of brasserie and police wear flapjackets.

After a particularly bad winter my mum said “ I feel so bad for all those old people dying from hypochondria “ her friend fell about pissing herself laughing and mum was raging thinking she was being heartless 😂😂

always thought that the Stranglers were singing "lays me down with my manshiro". I had no idea what a manshiro was but thought it might be some sort of Mexican musical instrument.

Err...what is it if it’s not manshiro?

"I thought the Irish Prime Minister was called the t shirt for far too long "
Whereas I thought the Irish PM was called a tea-shop until well after the GFA , thatonesmine

My DD called plaits - flaps, scrambled egg - strangled egg, potatoes - b'tatoes, pyjamas- b'jamas. But then never believed that dungarees were called dungarees and thought I was teasing her.

With my mind she runs...

@OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg I just found out about seague/segway this year

On my phone so can't see previous post but The Stranglers' Golden Brown lyrics are:

Lays me down,
With my might she runs

West central Scotland here and pork and stork (and work actually) sound nothing like each other 😂

It's with my mind she runs.

My 13 year old likes to get accommodations when he does good work at school. He looks baffled when we suggest they could be comendations

To add another complication, I am Scottish and can hear the difference between pork and stork quite clearly in OTHER SCOTTISH PEOPLE'S ACCENTS. Because in Aberdeen we say pork with a short o to rhyme with stork. Had years of my Glaswegian parents trying to drum it out of me... See also oven with that same o sound rather than a 'uh' sound, v typical in the north-east!

I used to think that Spock's catchphrase on Star Trek was 'Live long and proper'. I finally admitted this to my husband a couple of years ago, he thought it was mildly amusing. I still say it stands as a good way to live your life though!

My youngest won't be shifted from saying "Winter Binds" (rather than wind turbines)

My husband who is 40 loves 'mint chock chick' ice cream. I've given up correcting him 

Friends daughter calls it mint chop chimp

My LO used to call babybel cheese ‘baby Annabelle cheese’

And my other LO when he sings Humpty Dumpty sings ‘horses and horses and horses and man’
