"Scotland" pronounced "Scuttlin'".

"Glasgow" pronounced "Glass Cow".

"Space ghettos" pronounced "Spice Girls".

 

"Scatland", surely?

While I'm at it - how the f**k did mirror get to meer?  And, as has been pointed out already, New Year's.  New Year's what?

Somebody needs to step up to the plate and do something about this.

Get your ducks in a row first surely?

My kids are bad for this. 

Pronounce garage incorrectly (like Farage).

Zee instead of zed. 

The Po-Po instead of the Polis. 

How does he pronounce it? 

P.S. Your kid are right b.t,w. on garage.  Doesn't quite redeem them for the other two abominations though.

Flew to America a few months ago. 9 hours without a cigarette, so was easily annoyed. The flight was made to sit on the tarmac for about 15 minutes before parking. The pilot tannoyed a message to apologise for the delay but we would deplane shortly. Ffs🤬

Pretty much a Christmas dinnr but nae sprouts. Some green bean casserole thing instead.
Dessert was the highly rated pumpkin pie she knocks up from scatch every year.

If you can get these instead of the onions it improves green bean casserole immensely

Shouting "Let me out, I'm dying for a fag" got some odd looks from the Americans on the plane

I wonder if you can faucet someone for a cigarette as well.

Is calling people ‘hon’ as short for ‘honey’ an Americanism? Does my fucking head in regardless 

Nah, that ones funny as it makes anyone using it sound like they maybe using the offensive version but they are completely unaware when saying it
