Beyonce is “bouncy”
I always wonder why people are taking other people in online games to the pwn shop.
I pronounce it like in U Thant. He wasn’t a very big guy, so I’m always careful not to eat too much at All U Can Eat restaurants.
(Yes, I know U is just an honorific like “Mister” or whatever.)
One time I was in a car with some other people when we saw a skywriter who had already writted out “Jesus Loves U” I said "Hmmm, I wonder if when it’s done it will read ‘Jesus Loves U Thant’. Then, when the skywriter started to write a “T”, I cracked up. It turned out to be an “I”, though, which prompted me to wonder if the phrase was going to be “Jesus Loves U: I think you’re a jerk.”

Anything Greek alphabit related. Phi is my favrite cause it rhymes with Fecal.
I pronounce the “u for you” as “uh”. Like the u in the word up. Also, if the pronoun I isn’t capitalized, I say it like the i in hit.

Plastic pronounced as blackdick like in engrish speak, and also I do piedwice alot.
I like to say “snausage” instead of sausage.

I like to mispronounce wines, such as the “t” in merlot or pinot.

Hah! My little grandson does the same (he’s 3 now and learning some correct pronunciations) but eeeeelicious is going to remain in the family lexicon forever I reckon.

I got this one years ago from my father in law, who hunted an-tell-o-pees (antelope).
Good guacamole is made from ah-VAH-ca-dos.

The actor Sean Bean’s name is pronounced Scene Bean in our house. Or, if we are feeling ornery, Shawn Bawn.
I like to say prehaps instead of perhaps… for no good reason other than to sound cute.

For the word ‘Gypsy’ I use a hard G, because WC Fields did it that way. Although I use it all too rarely, when I do, it irritates people on a grand scale, just like on his movie.
