It's all about where you place the tongue. Many people can't say statistics!

Hahaha, I've said par cark pretty much every time I've tried to get it right for years. I thought it was just me

& I used to say bisgettl too. Still call it that when I'm trying to be cute.

I'm regularly asked to say "purple burglar alarm" when in company with Larry. Being English, he and his mates find it highly amusing

Just to get him back ... he calls a chimney a "chimley"

For some reason the neighbours south of the border prefer to call them pigs, seems a bit impolite

Pigs? No we wouldnt be so rude... cuntfuckertwattossercunners...and breathe lol

In all honesty i take my hat off to them, hard job hard public!

He called the big metal thing the idle tower.

I think it's the same as some English add an "R" at the end (and sometimes middle) of some words. All day yesterday the commentator on the heptathlon was talking about Jessicar Ellis

Also have noticed some kids presenters talking about "drawrings"
