archive is just *so* much better when pronounced ahr-sheev
Polynailish- my niece and daughter came up with that with they were toddlers. They were trying to say nail polish.
jalapeño: jal ap in o
“Frog” is “frooog!” in my household. “Fish is also “feeesh” when I’m asking my dog if he wants a sardine.
Chipotle is “chip-o-tottle”
Also, my mom has a bunch of these. Like a calendar is a “cwah-la-la” and a purse is a “puckey.”
Frah-ghieley! Must be Italian.
Yeah the list from little kids trying to manage words is the best. I’ll always say puhsketti. And my daughter called eyelashes ashlies.
Anus …. Pronouced ‘Ann-oosh’
Anything micro is michael – michaelwave, michaelphone it always makes me giggle lol
I don’t mispronounce it but the variations of and replies to a post talking about being “pregnant” on Reddit are always fun to read 😆
I love to say “warsh” to bother my dad 😂
– Tortilla = tortiLA
– Fruity pebbles = footie poobles
– Females = like tamales with an f
– Ambulance = amblamce
– Spotify = spoofy
– Cop = pig
I mis-use. Aloof. . . I say jokingly , “somethings aloof” when I mean something is suspicious
Waon twaon
For cream cheese won tons
When I’m “over-encumbered” in-game, I like to give myself a giggle and say “over-cucumbered” and now my buddies have also started to say it lol
Jah lap eno
Saaalmon
Chamomile pronounced sha-mom-a-lay
Lysdexic (dyslexic)
Fa-jita
instead of “of course!” I say “of key horse”
Scissors is always pronounced like “Skizzers”
When my niece was tiny she inexplicably put Gs in a lot of words and I still say them that way–Granch dressing. Garbecue sauce. Garbie dolls. 😅🥰 She also called polka dots oko dots and I still say that too.
Burrito= booty toe
Hors d’oeuvres (whores- duvers)
Kay-suh-dill-uh like in Napoleon Dyamite
Lew-iss Vootin (Louis Vuitton)
The way Moira Rose pronounced “On-chi-lah-dahs” Its wild.
I’m Mexican and I can’t get that out of my head. Is that how other people pronounce it?
I now say it that way but in a very affected way
***TRAMAMPOLINE??!!?***
Bone-apple-tea and char-cochie
Definitely = dolphinately
Totally = turtle-ly
For sure = for sharks
Cat = kitters
Parking = porking
Fish = feesh
Spaghetti = pisketti
Hamburger = burg
Gnotschi (Gnocci)
Champagne as Cham-paag-nah on ice
“Whip”. It’s not necessarily a full mispronunciation, but I put a VERY large emphasis on the H.
