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
Miss Pronunciation here.
Years ago I was in a restaurant and one of the waiters was absent.
I asked another waiter whether he was well and I was told that he had a very bad skin disease.
I asked if it was Pissiarosis.
Neither the waiter nor my friend understood.
After saying the word several times to looks of confusion I spelt is out: psoriasis...
I would have got in even deeper water trying to spell it!
I remember listening to Wogan in the mornings, people wrote in with funny anecdotes, a woman asked her husband to get a jar of Cyclax cream while he was out, the husband looked ‘sheepish’ on his return, he had asked the chemist for a jar of Climax cream!
Roy said:he had asked the chemist for a jar of Climax cream!
Hilarious (and embarrassing)
As we are the only people on the forum Roy, I think there must be something we don't know..
Could the last one to leave please turn the light out.
