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.

Pore, wore, Thor and oar all rhyme when I say them.

I have a friend who calls it 'tuppleware', I've never bothered to correct her!

I don't get the pork/stork one either. I'm from the midlands with a very mild accent and fork/pork/stork/pour(k) are all the same to me!

@AryaStarkWolf - Pour makes an "Oar" sound and War makes an Or sound

Well that's true for me too, but Oar and Or sound the same the way I say them, while I sense that's not true for you...

Oar and Or are the same in my (south eastern) accent.

Was trying to think where it might be different - I think the Geordie accent for example would say pour differently (like two syllables?) rather than how I would say it i.e. as paw but with an r at the end if that makes sense?

Pour rhymes with wore and War rhymes with Thor,
Pour makes an "Oar" sound and War makes an Or sound

Arya, all those words rhyme with each other in my accent. I can't even work out how they could sound different.

Well that's true for me too, but Oar and Or sound the same the way I say them, while I sense that's not true for you...

No, Or for me sound more like saying the letter "R" whereas Oar is a longer sound, a bit like Owe-her without the 2 cyclables (If that makes any sense?!) haha

@iklboo my DD calls them crumpled eggs. We don't correct her (bad parents) and now even when DP and I are alone we call them crumpled!

Mine is an Irish accent btw

Pore, poor, pour, war, war, oar, four, raw, roar, door, more, law, lore...
They all rhyme in my accent.

My husband got to 45 before realising that Class A cherries were actually glace cherries. SMH.

*Arya - what accent do you have? I'm hearing Northern Ireland the way you describe it there...

Class A cherries

Haha that is amazing

I thought they were light savers into my 40s.
DS still argues that the kerb is actually called curve.

@DadDadDad Republic of Ireland

I wonder how I got to 45 thinking that the word pork rhymes with fork in every accent...

I also thought it was Dark Vadar - I think it is in France - well Dark Vador anyway

My best friend thought "swings and roundabouts" was "swing some roundabouts" I have never laughed so much in my life

Another not getting the pork/stork thing...

Ha, cross-post!

DS2's girlfriend thinks it's bricks and water not bricks and mortar. 😂

Chung gum. Chewing gum.

I love the differences in accents.

I can't remember the exact numbers, but according to dp "few" and "several" meant a specific quantity. Like a few = five and several = seven or something.

He also used to say "I was miffed" all the time. Meaning "I was confused/baffled/mystified".

You don't sound pork and stork the same way! 😱

Pork has an o sound that isn't present in stork.

I am now whispering pork and stork on the bus! I don't get it!
