Lotusflower Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I watched the BBC news earlier and the item about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visiting the city for the first time left me somewhat bemused when the St. Andrews educated Duke referred to the city as dymanic. It reminded me of a cartoon I saw some years ago. In the first picture a man is looking at a box bearing the legend DYMANITE. In the next picture he is scratching his head and thinking, "Dymanite, what's dymanite?" In the next picture his body is blown away from his head and limbs as the box goes BNAG!

NewBiz Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I knew someone who called lattice windows, lettuce windows, and used to talk about a neighbour who'd had a 'lovely conservative' put on the back of their house. She wasn't drunk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBiz Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I also knew someone who used to say they were 'ambinitious' meaning ambitous. They weren't drunk either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I know someone who pronounces "Certificate" as "Sustifficat". I was giving a speech, at a presentation a couple of weeks ago, and for the utter life of me I could not get my teeth round the word "Service", it kept coming out "Surface". (which I know isn't vastly different, but when you are speaking to a room of a hundred people, it can be a bit embarrassing!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
