Merci beaucoup is Murky Buckets.
S’il vous plait is Silver Plate.
Edited to add: I forgot the other French one. Garcon is Garckon.
Byoo Tox (buttocks)
Socrates like Bill and Ted
tortilla
Fee-tish. Inside joke with a guy I knew in high school. It just became the default way I pronounce it
Yup.
Foilage for foliage.
I call it an Ecnalubma, 'cause that’s what’s printed across the front.
ETA: Pronounce eck-NAL-yoob-ma.
“scissors”
“swauve-aye and de-boner” (suave and debonair) for those of us old enough to remember the Beverly Hillbillies.
Your em-fa-sis is on the wrong sigh-la-bul.
“eeeeeelicious” for delicious. From my nephew, when he was little.
“hop-suns” for options, and “ouch-standing” for outstanding. From my son, when he was little.
Oh yes, I give the wrong sy-LAH-bulls em-FAH-sis as well.

figgins = fingers
mungas = animals, especially stuffed ones that accompany you to bed
“Chipoodle” for Chipotle.
I do that to drive my 9 year old nuts. And kin-iffy, (knife).
I absolutely hate that one. As with “walla” for voila, there are too many people who think that’s the correct pronunciation.

I pronounce it as if it were an Italian word: ahm-boo-LAHN-chay.
The same with fragile: fra-GHEE-lay.
This, and also para-dig-um
