On a butter pronunciation note, I’ve taken to saying it with a very exaggerated geordie accent recently.
“Hello, we’re here to steal your land and precious artefacts, hope you don’t mind!”

Had a mature student for about 18 months in Spain, and he started using my vernacular a lot. Words like ‘innit’, ‘wa’er’ (water), referring to any event involving alcohol as ‘going for a pint’. The two month build up prior to his exam basically consisted of attempts to wean him off this.

my grandparents used to pronounce this like ‘mike’ and for nearly my entire childhood, thought my grandad was friends with someone at work called ‘mike’.

US-made video games love to have characters say stuff like ‘God save the Queen!’ and then it turns out their supposed to be Australian.
What does that one character in Overwatch say? “Cheers love, here’s the cavalry!” Just fucking end me.
