There are a few words and phrases that I cannot just say naturally. “Accoutrements,” for example, requires an exaggerated fake-French accent and an exclamation point: accoutreMON!
“Making love” needs a Barry White flair.
I know I have others, but I can’t think of them. Do you have any words that, for whatever reason, you always say strangely or with a funny inflection?
When a fair maiden says to me “I love you”, my “I love you, too” reply always comes out, “right back atcha, baby”, along with a pistol simulating finger point, two tongue clicks and an exaggerated wink. This serves me well in most cases, but I do get a few stares when I’m replying to mom.
If my wife (Malaysian-born, of South Indian ancestry) uses the word “properly” when American-born English speakers would use some synonym of “thoroughly”, I will break into an attempted Apu-esque Indian American accent for a sentence or two, and say something like "I will beat you properly!", as in a father scolding a naughty child.
