Social Things you purposely pronounce “wrong”

[biscuitsbrah]

There are certain words I don’t do the “correct” pronunciation for. Like I know how it’s supposed to be pronounced but it sounds weird.

Like Porsche is supposed to be pronounced Porsche-ah.
And Hawaii is supposed to sound like Ha-vai-ee. But really only super native Hawaiian people say it that way.
And açaí is supposed to be A-sai-ee.

Any other words you can think of?

Not so much mispronounce, but I use intentional malapropisms.

For all intensive purposes.

I also make up when speaking with people to see if they notice. Never in written form though.

Dalpagian and Pandrabular being frequently used. Galatremnious is a new addition.

 

[Iron Mang]

I am not sure if I am mispronouncing words, unless it is pointed out to me.

Now it does bug me when I hear people say supposibly, instead of supposedly. Annoys the hell out of me!! lol!!

The way some of my friends pronounce "meme" in the real world is shocking. I think I've heard mehmeh and mehm.
