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

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.

I've never heard it pronounced like that - what area of the country does that accent come from?

The majority of Scots say it as oh not aw in my experience. I'm Scottish. Also some Irish people according to this thread.

I thought it was chicken pots as a child and i sang "Who built the ark? No one" in Infant School

My university flatmate and I had the pork/fork/talk conversation several times.

If you have a RP-ish accent, say "borrow" but stop after the first syllable. That's the other vowel sound. You can then either sound the r then the k, or just put the k on the end (so talk sounds a bit like tock).

I heard a child ask his grandma whether they needed the upscalator or the downscalator; genius!

Oh on the misheard lyrics I used to think the words of Living on a Prayer were "Take my hand and we'll make it elsewhere"

You what, duck?

Give it up guys, we believe you, we just are never going to be able to say it like you do.

I was the one with the RP-ish accent.

Duck would be using the vowel sound from burrow, not borrow, surely? (Although said flatmate did pronounce bury to rhyme with curry.)

My mum thought the England football song was “three lines on a shirt” and that it was a reference to being sponsored by Adidas..

sorry, the duck is irrelevant to the pork debate, it’s just a term of endearment where I come from. I meant “you what, mate” or etc...

DS thought the song "lifted" by the lighthouse family was actually called limping...wanna be limping

Windowsledge instead of window sill

He also thought tinsel was called thistle

My friend who speaks Italian as her first language cannot hear the difference between chip, sheep and ship

Much giggling

We say "satdee" here for Saturday (Northern Lincolnshire, could be more my little town though 🤣, there's a lot of weird things her e)

Class A cherries

Snigger. My winner so far...

I grew up on a farm and used to pick mushrooms when we were kids. We took my youngest sister out one day and were pointing her in the direction of mushrooms saying “look, there’s a big one over there”. She called mushrooms “big ones” for years 😂

I always thought chimney was “chimley” up until my mid twenties. Chimney still sounds so wrong to me - I am now in my forties

I’ve said vanilla envelope for years...and I’ll carry on.

My DDad, bless him, could never say envelope or donkey.

He used to say enbelope and dunkey.

I'm meeting my Scottish friends for a boozy lunch on Sunday; can't wait for the pork/stock conversation

My Year 6er has recently been telling us about Henry VIII’s second wife Amber Lyn

Pork/STORK obviously

Not quite the same,
My granddaughter was 4 when she told me she didn't like Cinderella in the Harry Potter movies. After a few clues were given I said "Do you mean Voldemort" ,

she replied,

"Yes, but I can't say that"

DH always calls Weimaraner dogs, ‘wine bananas’.

I was at secondary school with a girl who genuinely thought a pineapple was pronounced pinepeople.

My son thought it was camel farge (rhymes with barge) until he was about 15 not camouflage
