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.

Another one from me...funny how other people's post trigger memories. (Someone once told me to write them down when the children were small but I didn't)
Dd2 used to say, if her hands were full and she couldn't carry anymore, 'I'm full of my hands'
She also called escalators 'alligators' so obviously we still call them that!

My dd (4) says buzz lightening and it’s so cute I haven’t corrected her🤭

The Poke was the head of the Roman Catholic Church until I was about 7 🤣

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

Ah, yes. His trailer trash wife in Daisy Dukes

I thought stings song was message in the bathroom not bottle. Only realised few years ago

My husband still thinks the West End Girls are hanging out in a 'denim world' to this day (Pet Shop Boys) ... who am I to tell him any different ... to be fair he was a massive fan of double-denim back in the day! Takes all sorts

My mum bless her once asked directions to the aquascrotum department instead of aquascutum ( hope that's the right spelling)
I'm a glaswegian and pork rhymes with stork, and as far as I know all my family say it like that

My grand daughter has always called a heart a “heart love” so now we all say it!

@Marshmellow91 ,

I think it is Armitage Shanks

Col-on-el Mustard anyone - took me a long time to believe that was pronounced 'Kernel'.

And one that I think I do say weird - al least for Yorkshire. My mum was from the North East so the way I say it may be more common up there. How do you say 'year'. I rhyme it with 'were' but locally it rhymes with 'fear' (which I can see makes sense

I'm NE and say year to rhyme with fair.

My younget DS calls Chipolata sausages chipilizers
we cannot correct him

i thought the song Funk Soul brothers said Vauxhall brothers.

In the US both are correct depending on which area you live

My DD thought tentacles were testicles as we were walking along the beach one day she said "I'm scared an octopus is going to come out and grab me with it's testicles"

We used to go and visit Bouncy Island a lot when DC were younger, correctly known as Brownsea Island

I thought paperback writer by the Beatles was take the back right turn til I was 16!!!

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"

Me too @AryaStarkWolf - until about 30 seconds ago, in fact. I just had to google the lyrics. You learn something every day...

DD really looked forward to getting her chicken pots to look after, you know, those cute chickens that live in their own pots.

When she got 'chicken pox' she was gutted.

My dd6 has said 'please I may' rather than please may I. It's so cute when she says it that I haven't got the heart to correct her!

I used to say forrid as a kid. Thought it was really strange as a teenager when it was pointed out it's actually forehead. I blame my mother.

@butteryellow

😂 I was sat for ages saying the words out loud and thinking the same as you! Pork and stork....rhymes? 😂

* 'I didn't discover that misled wasn't pronounced as MYZELD until I was about 18*'. I was 40-odd before the penny dropped on this one.

My son thought a vending machine was called a bending machine until he was 12yrs old, l said why would you think that and he said cos you bend down to get your purchase, its stuck every since

Slightly off topic, when i was a little my told me that the mirrors you find down the country lanes were for birds to do their hair in the morning and they were forever called 'bird mirrors' it wasn't until i was in my 20's that the penny finally dropped and they weren't in-fact 'bird mirrors'

My DH works on aircraft, and has done for 40 years. I corrected him on "cotpit' but I can't stop him saying "helicockter"!!
