I love these alternative curses!

As a former food service worker, that would have made my entire month.

Oy, Oy, Oy, Oy, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

They liked it better than Pirates of Penzance.

My sister used to do that when she was little

Have to agree, that will never not be funny.

A friend's 5 yo daughter burst into the house from the backyard announcing she'd found a "bird leaf". It was a seagull feather.

TBT when I flew Qantas to Japan and found that their OFFICIAL pronunciation in Japanese - as in, the one they use on all their Japanese documentation and in their Japanese inflight announcements - sounds like “cünt åss”. They are Australian, I guess.

It’s easier to get a pear tree on the black market. And isn’t bird trafficking supposed to be really profitable?

There is this hilarious video where a little girl is eating puto, which is a Filipino rice cake as her mom is Filipino, but her dad who is Colombian is not comfortable hearing her happily declare “It’s puto!”This gets even funnier when she says it around her grandma. “It’s big puto!”🤣

My younger sister, who is a total dinosaur geek, corrects me and my family on dinosaur facts all the time (and is usually right) yet still manages to mispronounce this one.

My daughter called them Mommy's yittle piddos. I caught her sticking a whole box of them on the hall wall.

My dog is currently looking puppiciously out the window

That took a raunchy turn!😉

Miercoles. (IYKYK)

There are multiple people in my life who repeated even ruder expressions that they learned from their respective parents in the car. 🤣

My mom says that's how I used to pronounce it too! I gotta show her this one lol

We used to call cumin cheese "pitjeskaas" (little seed cheese). My mom sent me to the cheese shop one day, I was around 9 years old, and told me to get some "komijnekaas" (which translates as cumin cheese). However, I did not know the word "komijn" and ordered konijnenkaas (rabbit cheese). People in the shop were very respectful, and I got my much adored old "pitjeskaas" :).

Thanks to Daniel Tiger it's forever referred to as "sprinkle cheese" in our home. My kids are teenagers now.

As a child, my husband never understood the Christmas carol that went, "Round John Virgin" - he thought, Who is John Virgin, and why are they calling him "round"?? :P

My youngest called it "dumpin' cheese"

In NZ we are in the town of Palmerston North while travelling Restaurant waiter called it Palmerston cheese..

My daughter used to pronounce them as staw bees.

It’s where all the Mass-holes live!

Me too kid. Me too.

okay but petition to pronounce medicine like fettuccine now

Yes kid, daddy knows.

Accurate.

Well, there is mole sauce which is also pronounced that way, so it makes sense.

May the horse be with you.

For anyone that is thinking of extended breastfeeding, be careful what you call it as they will ask for it in public after they learn to talk a bit. We called it boo boo. No idea why.

At around 2 years old, I screamed "BUNNY MILK!" for a few days until my parents figured out it was Nestlé Strawberry Milk powder I was after. Their mascot is a rabbit.

The Japanese word for “cook” (as in a person who cooks professionally, not the act of cooking) sounds like “cøck” too.

Mommy is reptilian or avian

Just be grateful you didn't give them to her at a wedding.

Whoopsie! :D

I thought bubble juice was the stuff in the bottles that come with bubble wands, for blowing bubbles... It's like juuuuust barely soapy water.

I still call it a merote, and eat "melly melon" because that's what my 46 yr old daughter called it when she was three. And because she now owns and directs a daycare, we still go potty and frequently point upwards, exclaiming "Airplane!"

Which song? Geez, I wanna know..

My granddaughter used to say punjelly for a pb&j sandwich. 🤣

But if the toddler is asking for Wunch, who is guarding Hades?

"carriers this" WUT?

parrot's last name is 'Galore?'

If it's good for Jack, it's good for everyone!

I had a child at the preschool where I worked say yehyo instead of yellow and it was the most adorable thing I've ever experienced.

chicken beefoes?

My sister as a kid had the runs and announced she had die-ah-D-ah! Instead of diarrhea.! We still call it that.

Swing and a miss for the auto-censor. From now on, I declare that the F-bomb can now be spelled "KFC" on this forum. What the KFC is going on here?

If he pronounces "cat" as "tat" maybe a lot of people are curious about mom's artwork.

Parma John Cheese is tasty 😋

use the horse! erect a horse field! Luke, I am your siiiirree

I called escalators alligators as a child forever.

These make a lot of sense and it's easy to understand how new dialects spring up in different communities!

Maybe your toddler helped to program the "speech to text" function on my band friend's phone, because he's always talking about the sex parts.
