Things you always say wrong

My ( long-gone ) Dad always referred to Anemones as 'Anny Moneys', or 'Anny Moans' . Helped fix the correct spelling, he said!

 

I tend to get sayings wrong. My colleagues seem to enjoy my blips and still commonly use "patronising with the enemy". Close enough I'd say!

 

I've always pronounced it Marlybone.

 

Having worked there for years, talking to local people and answering the 'phone many times a day with the word 'Marylebone' in my greeting.... it varied! As it varied with the locals I dealt with and I tended to pick up on their pronunciation. Marry-le-bone, Marr-le-bone, Marley-bone, Marley-bon, and so on. Never Mary-le-bone though.
