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.

Aghh 'weather permitting'

@GooseFeather my miner, Yorkshire grandad said Forrid too

@elprup yes you are wrong, regional Scottish accents permitting, Scottish people pronounce it pour-k. No offence taken though

Myimaginarycathasfleas said it was old fashioned. WendyMad said it was posh.

My kids definitely think I am old fashioned. And MIL is always calling me posh.

I am not convinced it is either. It is just correct pronunciation (to me!)

Ds(12) always says “in for a while” (as in “oh we haven’t seen her in for a while”) no matter how many times I tell him it’s “in a while” or “for a while”.

The one I always see especially on selling sites is "Chester draws" instead of chest of drawers!!!! 😂😂

Both DC like a bit of DIY shopping in ‘B and Cube’.

Or when my adult daughter is talking about something pacific!!! Keep telling her it's specific but obviously goes over her head lol

@lololove I'm a Satdee too, I did grow up in North Lincs though.

My Dad says watter instead of water which is one I've not seen mentioned yet...

@Robstersgirl that's the American pronunciation Tbf

My DS (5.5) has a few lovely ones:

• Orchard pudding (Yorkshire pudding)
• constructions (instructions for Lego)
• covered (cupboard) He is a very logical little boy! (Apart from orchard - no idea where that comes from!) No matter how often DD (8) corrects him, he just doesn't compute... 😁

My daughter used to say thingers for her fingers - so so cute! I actually encouraged it (bad parenting) I love all the little personalised languages we have 😊

DD3 used to called the iced fruit buns in the M&S café “sticky bums” instead of sticky buns. She’s 11 and we will still go out for a cup of tea and a sticky bum :)

An elderly lady told me that she’d been unwell because she had developed
“ an erotic heartbeat” .....
I didn’t ask her if she meant ‘erratic’ as her version sounded so much more interesting!

My OH calls leaves foilage. My eldest DD calls Glaswegians, Glasweggians since mispronouncing it when reading aloud. My youngest DD enjoys pompadoms with her curry, as long as it's a chicken tickler! Duvets are doobays since they were toddlers. My sister hated anyone being sarfistic (sarcastic).

BertieDrapper Is it not because that’s how Sebastian the lobster pronounces Ariel?

If my dm had to break sharply in the car she would always say "woah Barry Davis" she doesn't have a clue who it is or why she says this.

Could it be the radio DJ Gary Davies? His jingle used to be 'Whooo, Gary Davies, whooo Gary Davies, whooo Gary Davies on the radio'

Our son used to sing along to motorhead's 'The ace of spades', there's a line that says gamblings for fools. He used to sing ambulance for fools 😂

My mam was really excited when my brother took her out in his posh new sports car. She dashed back in to tell us all that ,
“ It’s so powerful and when he put the brakes on I was nearly EJACULATED out of the seat “!

My DD used to sing Amy Winehouses classic when she was a little girl:

'Tried to make me go to greenhouse I said no no no....

My son, who can't hear on one side, spent years referring to his deaf ear as his "death ear."

And his older brother, after years of me telling him to stop being a "bull in a china shop" turned to me one day and said, "surely a china shop is exactly where a bowl is supposed to be? Why is it wrong to be a bowl in a china shop?"

My dh says tuthpaste-hes welsh apprently its a thing it drives me nuts

The granny who was worried about the aubergines in the Australian bushfires upthread - I don’t get it!

Aborigines, maybe, @crabb?
