I come from a long line of intentional mispronouncers. A favorite catchphrase of my dad’s is “Hope to sh*t in your mess kit!” spoken in the same context and tone of voice as “Have a nice day.” I still have no idea what the hell it means.<\/p>\n

My dad is also big with the spoonerisms, and permanently scarred my older brother by having him learn the phrase “Chi Chi Boo Boo” when waving goodbye to a train. Needless to say, I did not fare much better than my brother.<\/p>\n

So, I am now stuck with a habit of intentionally mispronouncing words in casual conversation.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t find any word to describe this concept, so I’m making one up. A stiglet — an intentionally mispronounced word.<\/p>\n

There’s really only one stiglet that I can use quite a bit, and believe me, I use it quite a bit. Click on the word to hear how it sounds coming out of my piehole.<\/p>\n

The rest I use when I can, but they don’t come up that often.<\/p>\n

fajitas<\/a>
psychiatrist<\/a>
pneumonia<\/a> (you see where this is going don’t you?)<\/p>\n

On very rare occasions, I’ll hear a word mispronounced and adopt it as my own. Here’s a favorite of mine:<\/p>\n
