Listen, I just found out today that Gillets are called jeeelay’s, so I have a spare G knocking around.
I’m attaching it onto your Gibberish, M’kay?

Before the English education system banned and exterminated my Irish accent I used to pronounce the word ‘Film’ as ‘Filum’.
And - I never did understand why ‘Can’t’ was an acceptable abbreviation for ‘Can not’ but ‘Mayn’t’ for ‘May not’ had the nuns throwing up their hands in horror!

haha I had the zhilay conversation with a colleague just recently. I was originally told about this over ten years ago. It’s great fun to find out you’re culturally deficient.

Is this the Knickers thread? 
I think I’m a bit odd because believe me I’m no prude, but the word ‘panties’ I find really sleazy, makes my skin crawl

My Irish Mum always said filum for film and I loved it. The Irish name Colm is pronounced Colum.

I’d never heard the word “Fillum” until I came to Australia in the 1960s when about 1 in 5 seemed to use it (never hear it now) they were the same people who called their wife/girlfriend “Darl”…
Likewise the number that said can BERRA. And let’s not get into the argument as to whether it is JErvis Bay or JArvis Bay (it is spelt Jervis)
I can’t say these drive me crazy they are just interesting.

I noticed the word “Jalapeno” in another thread. I have never pronounced it as “Halipeeenyo” (which is the correct way) its always been “Jally-peen-oh” in my head.
