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.

That song on the Mercedes advert “oh lord won’t you buy me, a Mercedes Benz...”

I sang up until about 2 years ago “oh lord won’t you buy me, a Mercedes van” until my now DH looked at me with a WTF expression and asked me to repeat it. Genuinely thought they’d been singing van.

It still sounds like van!!!

Also I really struggle with”vegetarian” and say “vegeteranian” like “Mediterranean”

Happened the first time I asked for a vegeteranian pizza and my DH and the waitress laughed.

DB thought Lea & Perrins was Liam Perrins

And apparently, it’s ‘buck naked’ not ‘butt naked’.

Also third post in a row but I’m catching up and laughing at the pork/stork/fork thing

Pork and stork are said completely different where I live

pork - pour-k
stork like...well...stork

I'm confused by pork/stork

Did you mean pork/stalk being wrong?

A stalk is different to a stork?

* "My youngest won't be shifted from saying "Winter Binds" (rather than wind turbines*" Forever known as Winter Bines in our house thanks to DD. Thought she was the only one!

I've put together many IKEA items asking my DH to "pass me another dour rod".

*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...*

Me three!

I used to think the lyric in avril lavignes song skater boy "she had a problem with his baggy clothes" was "she had a problem with his back toes"

Still makes me chuckle today when I hear it...and have to resist not singing it my way!

@Bluntness100

Where do you live where it’s pronounced “pourk”?

As a youngster I assumed 'misled' was pronounced mizzled. (not heard it). Similarly - awry was aw- ree, and Open Sesame was Open Sea-same.
A friend pronounced crotcheted exactly as it looks.
DP uses frentic (frantic/ frenetic), and Pewgeot (Peugeot)

Where do you live where it’s pronounced “pourk”?

Manchester

When I was a waitress one of my colleagues called cutlery cuttle-ree.

15 years later I still call it cuttle-ree

We used to tell my daughter to put her pinny on (apron) when she was little, she thought they were called pinnyons for ages.

These are - in effect - "mondegreens" there is a weblink.

"I can see clearly now the train is gone"

"There's a bathroom on the right" - Credence clearwater

"Donuts make my brown eyes blue"

"The girl with colitis goes by" - Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Where do you live where it’s pronounced “pourk”

I’m near Glasgow.

Is there anyway to link a voice recording and I’ll record myself saying pork/stork?! Totally different where I’m from.

My daughter aged 9 thought it was aunt-sisters instead of ancestors...

My DP calls pomegranates “ponegranetes” and beagles “beadles”. He’s knows that’s not right but grew up saying it and sees no reason to chance his ways.. or words

Until I started learning to drive I thought it was jewel carriage way not dual carriage way 🙈😂

Our daughter called butterflies 'flutterbies' which has stuck. And we put salt and ginivar on our chips.

@wooo69 that reminds me that my DS now 27 thought pens were “pengons for years because we were apparently always saying “where’s the pen gone?”

I used to call markers maggots and pigeons peegees, but I was only about 2.

Davecoachesgavemetheclap @AryaStarkWolf - All these years and it's make it I swear !!! Can't believe it.

We had wegetables (vegetables) and wampire (vampire), and glubs instead of gloves.

DS as a toddler used to run around singing "conker pear"-go compare
