What's the best thing your dc mispronounces?

[MoosMa]

My current favourite is DD1's attempt at octopus..... dottypoosh

Fish.

She says shish, sounds like she's about to bang on about kebabs!

They also had chickenpops you'll be pleased to know!

The best I heard wasn't from my own child but froma friends.

Their family pets are cats named Tiffany and Bianca.
Their DD couldn't say Bianca, came out (as clearly as if ths was what she intended to say say) Wanker.

Oooh! Muchos, muchos giggles from adults.
Lucky she's so gorgeous she gets away with it!

DS used to say:

ElephLant
Snawich
Camwa
Carry You (when asking to be carried)

DD was talking about a baby rhicenorous the other day.

The best one was my friend's little girl who couldn't say "Blackcurrant" ... it came out as "Slackcurrant" which sounded to me like "Slackc*nt" which always made me giggle and then usually had me with tears running down my face when my friend looked at me stonily when her little girl said it ...

dsd used to call shrimp schnurps, and pickled onions prickled numyuns. And it stuck

dd2 doesn't mispronounce, she lisps, but she enunciates like Wallace and Gromit. Bizarre.

Arrived at nephew's one day, he pointed to the car and said "look, it's a bollock"

Cue adults looking puzzled and uneasy. "A what?"

"A bollock"

"Where?"

"There. It's a bollock." pointing to the indicator on our car.

No idea why!

My 3 yr old ds sings the theme tune from bits and bobs but can't say tr. Hence he sings "I really like it when I'm f**king along!"

my 4 year olds call cold liver oil capsules "dog pills" - somehow they got the idea they were cough pills and then morphed the word a bit further !

the pushchair is bugger,sandwich is champagne

When ds1 was wee, he used to say "Nee Naw" for "Night night see you in the morning"

We still say it now and he's 22!

willy wonker
did not sound good came out from ds as
willy wanker
slip of tongue but not good

Ds1 & friend, talking about Doctor Who:

Friend: I am a Cyberman
Ds1: I am a Garlik

Not quite a pronounciation thing, but when a friend moved to Moscow recently her niece went round telling everyone her auntie lived in Tesco's!

We live near a place called Wymondham (Windam) which ds calls Window.

Dd used to call hot air balloons - airloons

DS (for armpits) - 'crumpets'.

She says I have a flat tummy instead of a fat tummy

Did you train her to say that Carmenere? Good plan if you did.

DD once, wanted crumpets for tea but was struggling for the word, eventually settled on CROMBONE.

Instead of Buffalo flavoured Hunky Dorys, he wants the Gruffalo ones.

And ds1 used to love corn on the nob.

Wankey = monkey.

We're a multicultural family and have both Marmite (for the adults) and Vegemite (for the children) in the fridge. Hence dd1's favourite spread, Vegemarmite.

It rolls of the tongue so nicely I can't bring myself to put her right.

ds1 used to do some brilliant mispronunciations. ds2 does not do so many.

However, my current fave of ds1 (who is 5 TODAY1!!!!!) is:

that bloody yu-gi-oh cartoon theme song. If I hear him singing
'Gay man. Gay man. Got a gay man!' one more time, I think I will scream!!!!'

my 4 year old says ' die-jeff-did'

for Digestive (biscuit)

'musing. actually i buy them just so he can ask for one!

A boy I knew years ago pronounced Truck, "Fruck" and it sounded so rude

His dad thought it was hilarious.
