Misunderstanding/using 'words'/terms

I'm Scottish and we pronounce work as wurk! We went down to oxford to visit family once and there was a guy there called Carl but in our Scottish accents we said it pronounced Carol!!!! Still find it really difficult to say Carl!!

Last week I was showing my OH some Marryoke videos on the internet and we were having a good chuckle! Talking about them the next day he turns to me in the car and says " so who is this Mario K guy then? Did he invent the idea? " I nearly wet myself!!! My OH is always doing stuff like that, saying ridiculous things and messing up makes him more lovable!! xx

ETA....I always thought it was Westminister too?! Oh Lordy! xx

Heehee; nope! Would make sense to be minister at the end though I suppose; like Prime Minister (which I always thought was Priminister when I was younger)

Should own up that until fairly recently I thought it was "for all intensive purposes" instead of intents and purposes, only realised when I saw it written down somewhere!

Up until about 18 or 19 I thought that a prostitute was a religion, haha! Because it sounded like Protestant!!!

Also, in my Higher Biology I answered a question with the word "smegma"....the white cheesy stuff under a guys foreskin!!! Can't actually remember what the word was supposed to be but it was to do with plants, but I can only imagine what the marker must have thought!!!! I was always nicking my older sisters More magazines and having a read so I can only imagine that's where I knew this word from!!! Xx

My fiancé came up to me after picking up some ham in waitrose saying 'I've never had crumb bed ham before'. He meant crumbed, bless him.

His Nan always says 'that's a good ideal' instead of 'idea'.

I always used to say shoulders when I meant soldiers and vice versa and I once asked my mum, while in tears, what poor bill stickers had done and why was he going to be prosecuted.

In our house maltesers are 'tweezers' and ladybirds are 'lellybirds' because that's what my little boy always called them when he was tiny

And for at least 3 years, he called my daughter Joe even though her name is Katherine - never really figured that one out!!!

I pronounce work as wurk, so it would rhyme with lurk.

i might pronounce tweak as either twurk (rhyming with lurk) or twerk (rhyming with perk).

Twerk and work definitely rhyme to me.

MY - as do lurk and perk!

These all rhyme to me?!!

work, lurk, twerk, perk - all the same.

Book, hook, look, cook, shook - all the same

My nan used to think quiches were called 'Quinceys'.

Spoonerisms are also commonplace on one side of my family and 'diddly squat' has become 'squiddly dot' so many times that I now have to stop and think which one is correct.

I know of 2 people, whom have no connection, who say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'!

I can't think of any at the moment but I'm usually the one who gets things wrong and my H looks at me as thought I've got two heads!

I have a friend that says 'prize' instead of 'present' and it does my head in - she knows she does it!

Eh?! As in 'Hiya Tayto, I got you a prize for your birthday'?!

A friend was once talking about the place where Swedish people come from and I can still see his confused face when the country name completely escaped him. He plumped for "Swedeland" in the end.

I have called one particular film "A Plane Full of Snakes" and one particular song "That's The Reason I Go To School".

I quite like deliberately running two well-known phrases together - "Locking the door after the milk's been spilt" is a favourite.

Also, twerk/work/lurk/shirk, these words all sound the same.
