I'm pretty sure this is fake and the joke is stolen from an old Henry Cho stand-up.
Sheepyhead
Some words I pronounce wrong just because the wrong pronunciation sounds better. Like "o-regga-no" instead of "o-re-gah-no"
Becausethenightisdarkandfullofterriers
I had a friend that pronounced mne-mon-ic...muh-nom-ic...
pigeonkitty
I didn't learn the proper pronunciation of "suede" until age 23. I was saying "sweed"
oddthought
Same joke was used in a political cartoon about Dubya back when he was president. Wish I could find that one.

My sister once said to her teacher, in front of my Mom, "you have to have my Dad's sausage". It's amazing
Sylviastout
My friend used to pronounce croissants like crow-shzunts
rmolson
My brother call rhubarb, "rootbarb". He was so confused when we told him that was wrong.
StanleyTucciIsAGod
My ex use to say apple-et instead of appellate. He went on this long tangent about the court system and I was dying.

"Keesh" Here you go

My friend says Cock instead of coke.

When I was a kid, sometimes I would mix up the words condom and condo.

I always thought quiche was spelled kiesh.

Not to spoil the fun, but this was a bit on a sketch comedy show.
UncomfortableAnswers
And it's been a joke for a long time.

My friend pronounces crepes as cre-pes

My mom gives me quickies all the time, I don't see the issue here.

I was giving a presentation in high school on the shiites vs suni muslims and pronounced the shiites as "shit-ies"... ops

This pleases me.

Did you upvote that? Because it wasn't a dog.

I updogged the votes that were already on the comment.

I figure Seen Bean's mom was setting us up
DraccoKnightblade
Good friend of mine's mom called quesadillas "Kwa-zee-dill-ahs" in that pronunciation. I didn't believe him until
DraccoKnightblade
- we were all at dinner once, and his mom ordered a quesadilla. I just sat there and the waitress was trying not to laugh.
DraccoKnightblade
His mom looked so confused as to why we were snickering and Ian said "See!?" as I didn't believe him beforehand!
steviedrawsdinos
That's ok, Spazkid from YouTube thought that cologne was pronounced ko-log-nee and that it was some sort of French colony.
trigonman3
I've seen twitter dumps of people saying things like "I love smelling his colon."
steviedrawsdinos
That's a thing that happened as well..

I used to think it was pronounced like cliché but with a Q.

Until I was 22 I thought collared greens were colored greens because I always heard black people talk about how good they were.

What's a quiche?
ElijahWoodsEyes
Quiche is a savoury, open pastry crust with a filling of savoury custard with one or more of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables
Ewanator
A cheese type thing. Google image search it. Proper name is "leak and gruyere tart".
rezpawner
If you get a vegetable one - the dullest food you have ever tasted. Other than that - some kind of pie.
meganical
The devil's lettuce
terrorofthederp
Had a male friend who genuinely pronounced lingerie department as linger-y department. So, Paul, you sure you want to be caught lingering?
RepostSadistic
They should have spelled it lawn-jerry if that is what they want.
PseudoDoc
@pseudocheer I think him and I are friends
Sugarbritches21
A vend yours
2222222222
Ha. I called it that when I was 5. Im 36 and my mom still tells that story.
owlest
I thought it was pronounced linger y for years, why the fuck is it pronoucned longery?
anotherrelevantusername
Because it is a French word
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
Did you have to let it linger-y
Axelord
Well, it's not like any English bloke who says 'Lingerie' says it correctly anyway either. Protip, it's not lawn-jeh-ray.
lagomorpha
"lahn-zhuh-rey" or "lawn-zhoo-rey" I think, yes?
Axelord
'Lain-jeh-rii'
Rafikiii
I'm dyslexic so when I was younger every time I read lingerie I read it like tht an got confused coz I didn't know what it ment coz I'd 1/2
Rafikiii
Obviously only ever heard it pronounced correctly. I would still pronounce it right in conversation tho I was like 17 before I realised
PirateRubberDuck
I call it that but that's to take the piss out of trying to make knickers sound posh and french.
Afghaniscran
My girlfriends auntie told us her favourite meal from kfc was the colonels meal. She pronounced it co-low-nel, apparently has done for years
felfeli
Hmmm. My friend wants to know how it's supposed to be pronounced, please.
MeanwhileBackOnEarth
The correct pronunciation is actually lanzheree but nobody outside of France ever pronounces it that way.
MittenMagick
I used to say "lin-JEER-y"
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
I work in lingerie. It's our favourite way of pronouncing it. Also saying that we just design pants.
DrunkenRhino
"I make valentine's gifts. Sometimes bad Mother's Day gifts."
ThatWhichRemains
Sounds like fun, but wouldnt a proper work uniform be better?
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
Lingerie is the most appropriate attire when you work in lingerie.
corsettedconfectioner
I used the call it a quich (like itch) ... now I'm a baker and still kick myself over this
meatsmokertx
Cook here. Got any good quiche recipes you wouldn't mind sharing?
AuBoss
Well in your defence it is pronounced stupidly.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
So you now work in a quichen?
TheRicemanCometh
Until the age of eight I called it qweechee.
AuBoss
Some people still say that
PrincessAnus

Recently, a web developer at work said "there's that hilarious meh-meh where..."
pandro
Genuine argument in my family about this one. I say "mame" but I'm told it's "meem." Sadly it's burned in my brain can't stop!
Eneficus
It is meem. Maybe try repeating meme over and over in the correct pronunciation? If you don't try you'll be laughed at.
trigonman3
The word "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins as the idea equivalent of gene, which isn't pronounced "jane". tl;dr: It's "meem".
