Years ago l went to a Weightwatchers class. The class leader used the word "pluffmans" (ploughman's!) several times when talking about eating out choices.

Trickle treating was a good one I heard recently

Ironically, I don't think 'wrongly' in your title is used correctly? I'd say incorrectly' instead of 'wrongly'. Not sure wrongly is a word?

Gonetoget l'm in West Yorkshire, and kekkle and bockle are used here. Along with 'ospickle.

Wrongly is definitely a word. Someone always has to be a clever dick on these threads 😂🙄

Anyway, I guess I started the thread with words that really don't exist but people have obviously gone through their lives not knowing. Like valentimes 😂

My mum says ‘prutty’ instead of pretty. ‘Trinkle’ instead of ‘treacle’. ‘Thee-at-turr’ instead of theatre. She’s late 70’s and has always pronounced these words like this. I actually use to say trinkle for a long time when I was little. Still can not correct mum on any of them though!

Bias instead of biased.
'I'm bias' (grrrr).

Pronouncing the d in 'blood' as sounding like a t. So for a blood test it sounds like bloodt test.

My ex would say mirrow instead of mirror. It drove me mad.

DH calls a reservoir a resevwire and it drives me mad. We live near one so he says it regularly.

DF is adamant that Oprah Winfrey is pronounced Oh-fra Winfrey.

My neighbour claims university credit and says worser. I don't correct her, but it quietly gives me the rage.

My late DGM just to say 'erotic' when she meant 'exotic'. No one ever corrected her as we would have had to explain what 'erotic' meant.

She didn't like erotic food 😂😂😂
