What are some words that your parents say incorrectly that make you chuckle. ?

My dad asked me what my mum uses chi butter for. Confused me for a bit, until he showed me.

It was SHEA... Shea butter

My wife used to say "greezy" instead of "greasy" because that's what her dad always said. She also used to say "leave" instead of "let", as in "Would you leave the cat out?" when she was asking me to let the cat out.
I don't know if those things are Cincinnati speak or just her family. But I quickly taught her. She's not stupid or illiterate. They were just habits.

My dad used to use the word "bullshit" instead of using the word "manure" or "fertilizer" when buying things for our garden. He learned after we told him and he got laughed at while attempting to buy stuff.

Not my mom, but my grandma... she says “Ermy” (army) and “Walamelon” (Watermelon). I hate it so much and laugh all the time. And my grandpa says “Jay-pan” instead of Japan lol

I always thought it was funny how my mom tended to over pronounce some words, trying to sound super proper, and she would even pressure us to do the same thing. It was so irritating to me.

My parents say things more or less the same as i do. However this wasn't my parents but some years back when Leicester City won the premier league, hearing multiple pronunciations of Leicester made me chuckle.

My mother is from the south. And even though she's lived in the north for over 50 years. now she still pronounces California without the "R".

Ups instead of U P S.

Being “fustrated”
Vice-a versa.
