“geegaws”
“cray-zeee”

saying “Trump” sounds like the noise Yoshi makes sticking out his tongue

“Terlit” instead of toilet will stick with me forever.
I knew a guy in my IT office that would say “Catch-pa” instead of “Captcha” or whatever. Very consistently and deliberately.
Ooh, idk why but that reminded me
Friend’s friend’s bandmate that always pronounced the music gear brand Ibanez like the last name “Ibañez”
(To be fair I’m pretty sure that one was at least actually right at some point, but everyone says “eye-buh-nez” instead of"eee-bahn-yez")
Every white boomer in America says “chipolte” instead of chipotle and it annoys the shit out of me. Like they don’t even use the Americanized version of the word they just straight up say it wrong
Oh man, so many corny older relatives love saying “tar-zjayyy” for Target like it’s funny to pronounce it like it’s French for some reason
it’s because French is the lingua franca of esoteric angloid douchebaggery.
Ah ouais. Le Tar-zjay, Le Kro-zjay… c’est magnifique, c’est incroyable. Allons-y, si vous plait.
my fave is to pronounce Publix as PUBE-licks. that’s a crowd pleaser and if you say it front of a parent with their child, it has cascading effects.
My old store manager would use the word “preface” to mean that he agreed with something. He didn’t say it in a weird way, I think he just didn’t know what it meant.
If you said something he liked he’d say “I’d like to preface that statement” and no one ever corrected him
