Words that you or others struggle to pronounce

Everyone knows it's pronounced Macaroon.

Try it. With a comedy 'ello 'elllo accent, you can make it work

And if we're going to venture into foreign languages then judging by the faces of the people I speak to, every darned French word out of my mouth is mispronounced!

When I posted to the Far East, the letter R was not in their vocabulary. It was always replaced with the letter L. So rice became lice. So you ended confirming that you ordered Fried Lice to the service staff. In the sub continent the R was over emphasised like Rrrr. So rice became rrrrice.

waiter, this chicken is rubbery
ah, thank you velly mush

Reminds me of a little game/joke we used to play on our kids. Try it on yours.

Ask them to pronounce and spell out

Unless of course you are an incomer to Milngavie and its pronounced "Mil-GUY".


Heard the boy on radio 2 this morning trying to pronounce Kirkcudbright, it was hilarious.

I did ignore it. Not only because it was mumbo jumbo talk, but also because I don't know who he/she is!!🤔

Earlier this afternoon Peter Hain was being interviewed on Times Radio following the death of FW DeKlerk (though I think he has a book to punt as well).

Hain reports that DeKlerk, attending a Truth and Reconciliation Session, was sufficiently irritated by the line of questioning that he stormed out.

Hain described him leaving in High Dungeon.....
