Way back when they were called Baker Days (after Kenneth Baker the Minister for Education), my sister came home and said "We don't have to go to school on Monday, it's one of them Robin Days"

A work mate told me with the current credit crunch she was struggling to make "Hens Meat", which amused me.

Pffffbwahaha!

After explaining eggcorns to my mum she revealed that both her mum and grandmother used to think chimneys were called 'chimleys'.

Five Gold Rings
Four Colley Birds

I used to say pomato instead of tomato when I was very small.

My brother used to to ask "can I lean the table?" after a meal.

My Dad still calls a wardrobe a wardrove on occasion and he used to call a reservoir a resavoy. He also calls Halfords "Harfords".

I saw "Driving down a jewelled carriageway" once on OcUK which nearly made me wet myself.

Another one that gets me is "I will be at your beckoned call" - no! It's "I will be at your beck and call"

An old geezer in a petrol station did once tell me to "make sun while the hay shines" but that's more a word order mistake than a spelling mistake I suppose. Still made me laugh at the time.

Hahahaha! This thread is making me proper laugh!!

When I was ickle, I used to play Micro Machines with my Brother on the Amiga. If anyone can remember, if you managed to pull away from your opponent and lose them the screen would pause (I think) and your car would bounce up and down and the word "BONUS" would flash on the screen!

One time, my parents had some friends round (rather too too) and they were all enjoying cake and tea in the other room and me and my Bro had tootled off to play on the poota.

I remember I was losing lots... but then suddenly, I managed to pull away as my Bro got stuck on a glob of glue and I managed to get a....

"BOOoNNAaaaaaR! WOO WOOO!" (I yelled this at the top of my voice in such excitement!)

My Mas face was hilarious!! I didn't have a clue that my mispronunciation was "bad"

We were never told what it was meant and despite being scolded, continued to play quietly giggling away! From that day on we'd always laugh and call out "BOOoONAaaaar!" every time we managed a Bonus
