    Toast. I had a bit of a lisp so it used to come out "toatht"

    I also said "packpack" instead of backpack.

    My favorite was "know-a-lize" which was her combination of "know" and "realise"..."I didn't know-a-lize that cartoon was on"

    Quote from one of the earlier posters, sorry just deleted the "quote" details by mistake!

    I Think that word could actually catch on, going to start using it! :smile:

    My mom had me young and talked to me all the time when she was home with me, so I spoke early and clearly...much to their dismay, because I also had no filter. But my grandson has some great ones that make so much sense. And for the life of me I can only remember one at the moment.

    He says Lasterday. As in lasterday was the day before today. Makes sense to him because the night before this one was last night.

    And handcops. The things the police put on your wrists before putting you in the police car.

    I used to call myself a "grill" rather than "girl".

    My son pronounced "hospital" as "hossipal" and "helicopter" as heckilopter".

    I used to say these:

    antenna = nintenna
    wood pecker = hay pecker

    My mom used to say she was "choking the washcloth" instead of "ringing it out" lol- also she called "goosebumps" "goosepimples"

    My dad used to say "hopti-plopter" for "helicopter"

    Why I know what my parents used to say as kids is beyond me- I improvise with their words all the time just because its humorous lol

    I could never say my R's and I talked fast. I would ask for a fork and knife........

    Mommy, will you get me a fok-n-knife.

    I got slapped.

    I didn't know why.

    Milk = Melk
    Pillow = Pellow

    And I still say it that way....unfortunately for me, no one corrected it until my roommate in college.....at that point it was beyond repair :)

    Most of the words I said wrong as a kid were because my mom says them wrong!! My mom was raised by two French as first language people, so I'm going to say that is why, but she says the following

    Saturday = Sarah-day
    Vegetables = Veggables
    Wal-Mart - Wal- Mark
    Pillow = Pellow (Milk = Melk, along the same lines)
    Breakfast = Breff-us
    Across - Acrost

    I think there are probably 100 more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

    Some other I said were the common bisketti, li-berry, chim-ley.

    For a very long time, I thought the word chaos was pronounced "Chalk-ose" I don't know why!

    My youngest cousin said Olicalies for motorcycles, copone for popcorn, she would say make-uh instead of making.
