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.

'I used to say floral ounces for fluid ounces!' So did I! Also not the foggiest where I got it from.

I also get annoyed with those who don't pronounce the 1st r in February and library

Also pork (paw-k)
and stork (staw-k)
and walk (waw-k)
and talk/stalk (waw-k/staw-k)

I'm with @Bluntness DH, so punch me!

I am not following others explanations of pronunciation.

Marvlious, and spectacliar in our family. Also guilty of poor parenting, as our DC discovered when school taught them these words were in fact marvellous and spectacular, of course

We don't have pins and needles we have fizzy feet.

As a teen I decided to be cool and say 'necesselary' instead of 'necessarily' and now I'm almost 30 and I've rewired by brain to always say that now 🤦‍♀️

Not exactly the same thing but up until very recently I thought that the phrase ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ was a good thing. So instead of ‘oh what a shit situation, try to make the best out of it’ I thought it meant the opposite. Because lemons are good to have because they are a citrus fruit. What could be bad about having lemons?!

In pork, it sounds like the ‘ou’ in pour

In stork, it’s like the ‘o’ in sorry

Although, I suppose it depends on how you pronounce those words 😂

My 7 year old DS says bungle bees. I'm never, ever going to correct it.

TinyGhostWriter that’s the best explanation so far, quite correct. Surely no one is going to come on here and say they pronounce the vowels in “pour” the same as the vowel in “sorry”!

No sorry, thats not making sense.

In terms of pronounciation you'd need to use the specific phonetic sounds.

Saw-t
Baw-t
Taw-k
Paw-k

All the same pronounciation

Saying 'o' really doesn't say how thats said.

'o' as in o-ver
'o' as in opt
Or 'ou' as in ow-t

My lovely mum (87) refers to Brexit as Bretex.
She also can't say ibuprofen and calls it iprofobin.

I have no idea why 2 of my 4 adult youngsters say wardrome's instead of wardrobes. Not a word you use regularly but on the odd occasion I have caught it I am very bemused by it

In pork, it sounds like the ‘ou’ in pour

In stork, it’s like the ‘o’ in sorry

But WHY?!!!!

Wahh apparently my browser doesn’t support that voice recording thing.

I’ve used voice memos on my iPhone to record pork and stork. There’s got to be a way to upload it!

I made a recording!!

I thought Lil Nas was taking his horse to the hotel room. That's what I sing every time.

I've only read up to p16,so apologies if this has already been done. In my accent (London), stork and pork rhyme. However, checking online for 'correct' pronunuciation, I can hear a minor difference.

I used to have a friend who would eat 'shockolate', and my late mum not only said 'chimbley' but also 'fieth' (thief). My dad always used to say 'sekkiterry' (secretary).

Great timing for this, I was just looking through my daughter’s school books and saw she is learning about religious art - she has written that ‘Michelangelo pained the 16th Chapel’ - written exactly like that

• painted - not pained

I had no idea it was posh 😀

My daughter until she was about 7, used to call McDonald’s, ‘Oh-mc-oh-my-donalds’ it was sooo cute! But her friends at school started taking the piss out of her, and telling her she was wrong :(

My mum says Feb-Rue-Ary

My ds asks me if I have a bad remembery
