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.

My mother would always prounounce 'gateau' as 'gattox'.

"I used to think the company "artimage shanks" was "artimage sharks" when I was about 6...i never put my hands near the plughole in case I got bit grin"
I hate to tell you but it is actually Armitage Shanks.

I used to think Waitrose was Waltrose, on the lorries about 10 years ago the website was printed in capitals on the lorries and I thought the capital i was an L 🙈

When she was little, DN tore open all her advent calendar doors in one go. When asked (rhetorically) what will we do with it now? She replied, ’send it to the Jungle Seal.

It took a while to work out she was actually thinking of a jumble sale.

I used to call butterfly’s flutterbys. Is till think it’s nicer

Where I’m from, miffed means slightly annoyed/offended.

It means the same thing where we're from too but it was a long time before dp believed me

I've thought it was knights in white satin and jewels remain still gleaming until this thread.

Now I'm really upset. 🤯

I'm dying!

When I started senior school I thought the gas flame we used in chemistry was a bunce and burner.
I also thought Row Row Row Your Boat was "life is butter dream".
I also thought Jingle Bells had the line "Wan hore soap and sleigh." I had no idea what it was supposed to mean.

I call the runway - runaway! 😂 it was only until last year I got corrected

I still call inset day insect day 😂 🐛

I thought the words to I wanna was

Oh oh oh oh banana not oh oh oh oh i wanna 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also still sing it as banana! 🤣
However I have now just discovered it doesn’t say I wanna it says oh oh oh no no
😨 ( crazy in love by Beyoncé)!

My eldest dd23 refers to pins and needles in her leg as having a wanky leg, not wonky leg.....

Needless to say it causes endless giggles

I’ve just discovered it’s NOT Dark Vader
Thanks AryaStarkWolf

3 lions on a shirt... I've just had to google the lyrics cos I too have always sang jewels remain still gleaming 😂

Trickle treating!

Thanks everyone you've had me in stitches waiting in the corridor whilst my daughters are in dance class. Don't look at all insane

Never mind "Jewels remain still gleaming" , I thought it was '3 LINES on a shirt!'

Heels remain still gleaming too!

No bummed up noses here

When the air is frosty
My daughter says it’s spicy outside
Her skin prickles from spice & cold so they’re now the same thing!!

Jewels not heels!

ha ha @MyCatHatesEverybody same here! And they do in my accent as well. (Dublin)

I pronounce the 'r' in Pork and in Stork so differently from you lot no doubt, but they still rhyme........!

I thought the lyric "don't you know I'll be your substitute" was "don't you know I'll be your prostitute" and sang it proudly in front of my mother.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how pork and stork sound different. Never in my nigh on 43 years have I seen anyone say they sound different. I just cannot comprehend that, in any language. lol

Pork, fork, stork, cork all all pronounced exactly the same way. Using 'paw' as rhyme sound, it is; pawk, fawk, stawk, cawk. Or porek, forek, storek, corek.

Pork, fork, stork, cork.

It is basic phonetics. It is the OR that is the link. The clue.

Also my DD then aged about 7 wanted to know why none of the birds on the coast were boys. She thought gulls were called 'Seagirls'!

DD said helicockter and I never realised her mispronunciation till she was around 6 and could read it. She told me the book had a spelling mistake

I just thought of one of my was embarrassed in year 9 English class when I read aloud in front of the entire class and said 'adoll-scent' for adolescent. Ironically I have always had perfect grades with spelling and grammar. Yet for some reason, I had never heard adolescent said in real life. Only read it on paper. Hence thought it was adoll scent.
