Dad pronounces ‘chocolate’ with a stress on the second ‘o’, like ‘choccer-let’. Same w/ ‘conservatory’ – ‘conservaterrry’.
Calls random things ‘duberry’.
Says ‘wash my fingers’ instead of ‘wash my hands’

Every time I’m watching football with my dad and our team gets a corner/free kick he’ll say “we need a good delivery” and I’m always like damn I hope the players have thought of that

My mam refuses to mentally accept you need to change the source on the tv if you’re going between tv and dvd. When she wants to watch a dvd she says MAKE IT SHOW THE DVD. Then when it’s time for Corrie she says GET IT BACK TO THE TV. Absolutely no interest in doing it herself.

My grandmother calls every crime show CSI. Doesn’t matter what show it is. Sometimes she tacks something on the end like CSI: Navy or whatever. She watches them constantly and expects me to understand.

My mother, who died a few years ago, would call all computers, iPads, and mobile phone ‘Da da dahs’ and mimed pushing buttons on the keypad. If age hadn’t killed her, I might have.
