1. I used to know a guy who could not say....
"specifically". He would say "Pacifically"

I pacifically told you not to do that.

Let me be pacific here...

2. Did he have a reverse lisp or something?
That's like saying "Pasghetti!" instead of "Spaghetti!"

4. When MMjr was little, he said "tenchapur."
Mom, I think I'm running fever, check my tenchapur.

And he said bwowers for flowers.

I loved his little silly mixed-up words.

5. Funteresting.
"Fun and interesting."

Also, "ricockulous" (as opposed to "ridiculous".) Yes, it's obscene.

9. A friend of mine trained himself to say "Horseshit" every time he
sneezed...
"Spectaclear" is our family inside joke, about Chimpy not being able to say "nuclear"

12. a man I work with says
flustrating, instead of frustrating. And he says people learn by "rope" as opposed to rote.

16. we still call hamburgers "hangabers" because of the way my daughter pronounced it

20. The "rigoddamndiculous" is a John Wayneism.
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 07:19 AM by PeaceNikki
He was speaking to college ROTC students.

Classic!

21. Eddie Izzard says "Fantabulous!" :)
My past-wife would also call me "Larb" as a pet name. We later found out that it's a form of Thai grain salad. I would sometimes call her "sallad" since that's her name backwards, so a bit of weird synchronicities going on :D

I still like "Fantabulous", though ;)

22. "supposebly"
I don't know where I first heard it, but I catch myself saying it once in a while. I go to say "Supposedly," and it comes out "Supposebly."

24. One guy I worked with looked at some post-storm footage and remarked how much 'derbis' there was
It took me a number of minutes to figure out he meant 'debris' :dunce:

27. ...another guy could not say 'theoretically'. He says 'theory-etically'
It did not help that he was a managing partner in our consulting firm and said it in front of clients :eyes:

31. I can't tell you how many people mispronounce "statistics"
As a statistician, it is annoying to hear people call me a statician, or say I do satistics.

32. When I Went to Middle School,
in a small town in Eastern North Carolina, my classmates used to say "onliest" instead of "only." That always tickled me.

Plus "chuck" or "chunk" instead of "toss." Plus a lot of other things I wouldn't repeat here,

33. I say "Scalarious" for things scary and funny, such as Dick Cheney
also, any word sounds better with a curse in the middle of it, such as fanfuckintastic.

I also like using "Slowding" for those websites which take forever to load.
