I’ve been thinking it seems for a long time on this question. I basically can’t think of any specific phrases. I just remember a few words they pronounced funny.
We were a very mild family. No one yelled or got mad at anyone. My sister and I were good kids and hardly ever got scolded or got a punishment. So, no phrases remembered of that.
A few funny pronounced words were:
Bat tree – for battery (mom)
Car ma nex – for the lip balm Carmex (mom)
‘The’ K-Mark, ‘The Wal-Mark’ ( mom)
Fa- jeeters – for fajitas (dad)
En chill lollies – for enchiladas (dad)
Jenny’s Rule – for as a general rule (granny)
I always wondered who Jenny was! haha
Must be made of Gold – high priced yard sale items (mom)

Well, that’s all for now. Have a great weekend. 🙂

I think these funny words are started by kids and then are picked up by the parents

Thanks, Sadje! I think you’re right about a lot of words. haha, then the kids roll their eyes at the grown ups using their words!
For these and a lot of words we say here in the family, being southern and Texan, we do say words funny a lot of the time. I love how words are different in different parts of the US and other countries. 🙂

Thanks so much, Anita! Aren’t words funny! I love hearing different ways of talking and sounding that are a little different from the way we do them, and I’m sure people think ours are funny sounding, too. 🙂
