Irish wrist watch. :laughing: even saying it really slowing I mess it up. can you say it? what do you have a hard time saying or pronouncing? I also can not pronounce the word dolls. it comes out as dawls. :laughing: or horror. it sounds like im saying.. another word for Ho. :error:
 
I can't say Irish wrist watch either...glad this doesn't come up in many of my conversations though!

I think that is how I say dolls anyway...dang southern drawl...

and as for horror, oh well! Paris Hilton is a horror...to listen to :laughing:
 
When I was little for some reason everytime I had to say I have an idea, instead I would say I have an ideal. ???? lol I would get those two words confused.
 
That one I can say GSW...I must say it wrong then...how can you pronounce unique wrong :scratch:
 
My sister's and I have always been famous for what we call 'talking backwards' and my children do the same thing ~ just like GSW did with yew nork. It is really bad with people that we have known for a long time and are including their names in conversations. Well, we have this one couple that have always went to our church, and my sister was talking to her and she transposed the first sound and the lady got upset ~ their names, Doyle and Opie and yep, she called them Oil and Dopey...Dopey wasn't happy :laughing:
 
That's called a Spoonerism, after a Reverend Spooner who supposedly did that during sermons.

Here's a Monty Python take on it:

A Port Shoem by the Speverent Rooner

I've a Gouse and a Harden in the country
An ace I call my plown,
A treat I can replace to
When I beed to knee alone
Catterfly and butterpillar
Perch on beefy lough
And I listen to the dats and cogs
As they mark and they biaow
Yes wature here is nunderful
There is no weed for nords,
While silling by my windowflutter
Biny little tirds
 
OMG...I'm glad that Karen and I didn't attend church with Reverend Spooner then...they would have thrown us out for laughing...but we would have been laughing with not at...I swear!

My niece recently had to introduce the keynote speaker at her state Social Worker conference and she got up and introduced the woman as Clutsy Bark. The woman ~ Betsy Clark. She didn't even realize that she did it. She did notice people laughing and when she got back to her seat her friend told her what she had done. She had to sit at the luncheon table with her and she almost died. Thank goodness the woman was nice and just laughed it off though.
