I always thought Armonia was my cousin!   .


I thought it was knock-off Chinese perfume (but also at the same time, actual Chinese perfume)

Another Grim(s)barian superfluous consonant is the R in ‘ammonia’. Do people still refer to it as armonia?

That’s unnecessarily polite.


Indeed, and I apologise for not offending anyone.  

That's what happens when posting whilst not under the influence of alcohol.

I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I was a witness at my sisters wedding, when signing the marriage certificate and asked for her occupation, her response was “housewife and muvva”.

I had to lean in and tell the vicar not to write it with 2 Vs.

And then we have the dropped 't' where Waitroses becomes Wai..roses

The gap should be pronounced in a guttural manner somewhere between a grunt and the noise a cat makes when it's coughing up a fur ball.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

That’s what’s weird about it. Just that one word.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

My dad still says chimley instead of chimneys.


Yes, my parents too.

They also said sim- a-terry when referring to a cemetery.   I suppose these pronunciations can be considered part of a form of local dialect.
