    skretch = stretch
    ventgatbles = vegetables
    manonaise = mayonnaise

    Son is now 12 and still uses these pronunciations which over the years we have sub-consciously adopted, we still get strange looks when we ask for or manonaise. 😯

    I used to call thistles in the garden “spikelers” because they spikled me. I still do sometimes.

    A wasp is obviously a wops.

    My younger brother was given a toy guitar, which was hard to play, resulting in the phrase
    “it’s dikkifult playing the giddytar”
    Which went down in family legend. 🙂
