What word could you not say properly as a kid?

We've all been there, no denying it.

But as a kid, I couldn't say the word 'great' properly. I always used to say 'grot'.... :colondollar:

...My bad!

I couldn't say 'yes'; apparently, I used to go: 'Y-Y-Y-LESS!' :blush:

There was a holiday company called 'Falcon'. When I said it, it became a swear word :colone:

As a child I struggled with zombie, which always came out as zumbie. And prison was present.

Instead of 'brown' I would say 'browned' and instead of 'teacher' I'd say 'cheater' :lol:

Dwarf. I used to say twarf. Then my parents said not t-warf, d-warf so I'd say d-warf as two separate syllables.

And when I was born my uncle couldn't say Caroline so he called me calamine.

Most of them. I had a speech impediment. I spoke like a retarded version of Kim Jung Un.

But I had particular fun with laboratory, which I pronounced labatwerwee, and Jeremy, which I pronounced Germany.

Not me, but when my little sister was younger she used to call a snail a "nail" and a glove a "glub" :teehee:

When I wanted juice I would say nothing but "blackcurrant". I found this word hard to pronounce and it would come out as "black ****".

Not ideal when you live in Birmingham. I must have seemed like the most racist 3 year old in the world.

Ironically enough, pronunciation.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis. I pronounced it "pneumonoultramicroscopicSILKOvolcanokoniosis".

EDIT: Wow, what? Why does TSR insert spaces into long words?
