    Default words you can't say

    Stolen from Laddy's thread clearly. This one however is about words you cannot say correctly despite knowing the correct way and spelling. I have 2...

    1) Incendiary, my inability to pronounce this word is smurfing legendary on XBL Dan and Paul love to make me say the word or try to normally I just end up going "smurf you, it's a fire round/grenade"

    2) Washing-up-liquid, more a 3 word name for something, I always say it wrong. How the hell do I say this wrong every time? I say Fairy-up-liquid. Yes Fairy. Have done this since I was a child.

    So EoFF what words do you always say wrong despite knowing the correct way to do so?

    I have a speech impediment from my deafness, so there's a lot of words I can't say correctly.

    Obamacare. Apparently, I must separate the two words so I can double the insult to all of you haters. So, I say, "Obama Care".

    Also: confusion between osama and obama-News Anchor Fail - YouTube

    "Obama was killed".

    "Possible lead where Obama might be hiding".

    There's a really simple solution to this. Instead of trying to sound smart and ending up sounding like a tit, just say "fire round" or "grenade."



    For the love of God, I can't say "rural."

    I mispronounced epitome for the longest time. Said it ep-uh-tome. Lol. I also need to slow down my talking speed a bit to say words with R and L close to each other, like world and rural.

    I used to always see "whereas" written in books and thought it was pronounced "where-eas", with the -eas being pronounced like you say it in "areas." I never understood what the hell writers meant with it really, even though I knew what whereas meant when spoken.

    As a young kid I could never say "olympics." It was always "olymm-p-mix."

    If this was words I can't spell I'd be here all day making a list, however I can't think of a word I struggle to say.

    Flying Mullet. I keep trying to say it right, but it just comes out as "knobhead". I dunno why.
