Being a fan of puns and such, I’ll take a common word, change the pronunciation, and come up with a new word:
vinegar becomes VINE GAR! Viking warrior!
pumice - sounds exotic as Pyoo-ME-Chay

For some reason, if you pronounce “crouton” as “crau-ton” (to rhyme with “wow”), it turns into a Paleolithic mammal. “Denny froze in position, spear-thrower to his shoulder, his eye riveted on the seven-foot-tall toasty brown crauton…”
Nachos.
Not yoze! 
Keep yo hands offa my nachos!
