It bugs me when people say 'piture' for a 'pitcher' of water.
Canerda instead of Canada
Torono instead of Toronto
wrarsh instead of wash
flusterated instead of frustrated

Lots of words. Unfortunately I know bigger words I just don't use them cause I can't say them. Lol

My grandma was the queen of mispronounced words. She would say rinoleum instead of linoleum, chimley instead off chimney, igle instead of eagle, expresso, sbicotti instead of biscotti, etc. She was the best. OMG that would be my sister. She would constantly say words wrong, sometimes to her total embarrassment. Once we were at seafood place for a family dinner and she ordered the baked scrotum (scrod) with a totally innocent, straight face because thatโs what she thought it said. The waiter turned beet red and said, โExcuse me, what?โ The rest of us kids (preteens through late 20โs) looked at each other and all busted out laughing and my poor mother was horrified. Meanwhile, my confused sister just sat there all befuddled because she had no clue what she had just said!

Figueroa - It is a major street in L.A. I have a problem with that โrโ. I usually just say โFigโ.

Nothing top of mind that is an everyday type of word. But today I had to talk about canonical tags and canonicalization. It was not pretty.

My friend's sister, who was an adult, once said in a crowded room, "Well, that was a blow job." She should have said blow out after the game, but I prefer her words. I always say them in my head whenever anyone says blow out.

I cannot say conscience. Like at all. I mess it up every time even when I am really trying.

I should have added, my sister was in her late 20โs at the time, so definitely considered an adult, which made it all the funnier to those of us who were actually closer to 12 and still knew what it meant!

Sriracha. I can pronounce it just fine, unless Iโm looking at the word, then I want to include that first r and get all messed up.

Do you say "rule".ย I hear so many people pronounce it like that! No, I say roo-ruhl, but it's really hard to say. It's a tongue twister for me. Which used to really suck since it was part of my dad's job title (rural letter carrier)...so if people asked what he did, I learned to just say "mailman" instead. Try pronouncing it rur-ruhl. (rhymes with fur). I wouldnโt be able to roo-ruhl either. Thatโs a hard one to pronounce those two sounds together.

This - A guy named Rory asked me out 45+ years ago when I was in high school - I had to decline, I thought to myself - I cannot say his name - how could I possibly go out with him?

I don't know if this qualifies but I am always mixing up green and orange. I will look at something orange - I know it's the color orange - and I'll say green. If I don't stop myself and really, really think, it comes out "green."
So weird.

This makes me think of "The Rural Juror" in an early episode of 30 Rock, LOL. I can't think of one offhand for me, at least not a the moment. There has to be at least one.

Gewurztraminer My family has tried and tried to get me to say it right and I just CANNOT do it! Good thing I don't even like wine, LOL! While I can't say that, I did go through and pronounce almost all of the previous posters ones. So I'm pretty proud of that!

My dd had the hardest time with 'wasps' when she was little. It would come out like waspises. Now I can't stop saying it like that.

I can't say 'catalytic' as in catalytic converter.
There has been a rash of thefts in my area where they are stealing them out of people's parked cars, in front of their homes, business, sometims they'll hit an entire neighborhood street! Here in California they are required for smog emissions. Thing is they aren't worth a whole lot to sell second hand, but to replace a stolen one can cost a couple of grand.
Anyway, every time I discuss this topic with people I can't say that word correctly for the life of me. Now here while I type it out I can say it in my head but when I speak it's like 'callalatic' catalatic, its crazy, lol.
