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.

But 'awe' and 'pour' sound the same to me...

Me too!

Oh, and we discovered that the oldest had misheard something about childhood obesity and was convinced that if he ate enough he could become 'a beast'.

There was a brief confusion over whether women have a penisn't but we sorted that one out relatively swiftly.

My colleague thinks finger food is called ‘thingy food’.

Pork is pourk
Stork is stawwek
Fork is forrk

Pork and stork sound the same to me too. I can't even make them sound different if I try

@whiteivy that's too cute! I'd stick with that to be fair!

I am 40 and only recently discovered the billy Connolly song stated 'you'd be in the hospital or infirmary' I always thought you'd be 'in for Marie' if you didnae wear your wellies. I figured Marie was a bit scary!

Also I'm Scottish and pork and stork don't rhyme pork (pour -k) stork (storr k) to rhyme it would have to be (store-k)

Not really the same but DS(2) calls his Pooh Bear (Winnie the Pooh) "butt change bear" 😂😂 he'll be known by that forever

This has just reminded me that a friends dd used to call 'Lotso Huggin Bear' from Toy Story 'Lotsofugging Bear' say it fast and it's highly inappropriate for a small child!

Radio Heater. Keeps you warm in winter

• DS used to tell us he saw a statube of Dark Vader and his Life Saver.

He tried eating lompster but preferred scrumpled egg.*
Dd2 used to call it jumbled egg 😂

Both of these sound the same, although one is spoken by a man and the other a woman.

My teenage kids still say 'pellow' for pillow ! I used to think it was cute when they were little so didn't correct it back then, but now it's so ingrained in them that they don't believe me when I tell them its actually p-i-llow not p-e-llow! We all say crips here instead of crisps, no idea why.
My mum still says vegebles instead of vegetables, at 74 shes not for changing ;)

Used to say bat gammon instead of backgammon

I still say chimley, jewels remain still gleaming and tubbaware

Don’t get the knights in white satin thing??

Also for is for is fawer and four is

Where I live rads (raads) is short for radiators (rad-e-ate-tors) instead of radiators and Vase (rhymes with maize) instead of vase (v-aahh-ze)

The last 3 letters of pork and stork sound the same as each other. Awe and pour rhyme. For and four are homophones. Nothing to see here. (Here and hear are also homophones.)

I cannot make stork and pork not have the same sound. I have tried every combination down this thread, a range of accents. They just are the same.

windandme - the point OnlyTheTitOfTheIceberg was making is that work is spelled the same as pork and stork but pronounced werk not wark so you can't generalise that -ork always sounds the same.

I never understood why there was a song called Knights in White Satin until embarrassingly recently.

I had to Google this as I couldn't understand why or how this is wrong It had never occurred to me to question the wisdom of armour made from satin!

Anybody click on the pork link above multiple times and then piss themselves laughing?

just me then

My great ordered mange tout in a lovely local restaurant. She pronounced it "mangie towt" !

We still laugh about it!!

My dad says chimley instead of chimney, my 5 year old thought that potato began with 'b' until last week!

Ignore double and four is above.

My little girl (8) asked if she could have Freddy salt on her food. I was really confused. After some questioning we worked out she thought ready salted crisps were Freddy Salted crisps and therefore salt was Freddy salt 🤣

My dh will say things like " The road service is icy" or Put it on the work service " He cannot say surface .

My 20 yr old hated having to wear sun scream on holidays. We all refer to suncream as sun scream now.
My 5 year old was killed trying to get me to understand that muggldyhigs was referee of the whole of Ireland, it took me about 3 days to realise she was trying to tell me that Michael D Higgins is the President of Ireland. I think he will be forever remembered in this house as Muggldy :)
