I once heard Nigella Lawson refer to a Microwave as a
Mee - Crow - Wah - Vay. It made me chuckle so much so, I often call it that myself. Makes me smile.
James May also calls the kettle the 'Electricity Pot' he stated that the Japanese literal translation for kettle is the electricity pot .
Does anyone have anymore?
Oh another I like is Rough - er - rolls, instead of Profiteroles
List below please
I have a friend who is very adept at malapropisms.
Once he was talking about a giant fuchsia instead of a giant fissure and in the context, it was too funny - I remember crying laughing.
A recent similar happening but with regard to mispronuncian, was when I was asking for directions.
The chap telling me mentioned the 'fukaydee' of a house and it took me ages to realise that he meant 'facade'.
Last, but not least, mispronunciation again - kitchy for quiche.
Just spat my coffee out hahah. Malapropisms. Oh haven't that word in awhile. I always think of Alan Partridge 'Chit shatting'
