WiFi = “whiffy”
Fajitas with a hard j.
“Sparkly water”
“Dove-ett” instead of “Doo-vay”
This is a good one, I also do this. To the extent that even in my internal monologue it’s the “wrong” one.
Misled = myzled
Sometimes I say “prenium” instead of “premium” but I can’t, in all honesty, say it’s always deliberate.
Yesterday, I did a small burp and accidentally said “shh” when I meant to say “excuse me”
Have to talk about ‘entrepreneurs’ at work occasionally, so I try and avoid saying it the same way twice
Entrepreneers
Entreprenyooers
Entreprenoyers
Entreprenhowers etc
Bolognese.
Oregano
I say O-rig-a-no not orray-gah-no
pret a manger
hyperbole
Doritos
I like pronouncing “pseudo” as “suede-o”
quinoa
comin’ atcha
It’s bollock-knees in my house.
Skellington
Ambliance
I pronounce London like Nick Frost does in Hot Fuzz
Mac (as in a raincoat): always pronounce it in a bad Scouse accent (“maccchhhh”)
This dates back to a time we visited Liverpool and overheard some woman saying “I don’t want a coat maccchhh, I want a macccchhh maccchhh” (cool story, CCB)
I say foccacia to the tune of the vocal sample in runaway. Irks my girlfriend a small amount
Espresso = EX-presso
Awry = OR-ree
Banal = BAY-nal
(last two are a bit niche admittedly, but are based on childhood experience of reading the word before I ever heard anyone say it, so invented my own pronunciation)
