pro-NUN-sky-ation ( I got this from the Pop Eye movie with Robin Williams.)
KA-nif (knife, I think I got this from my dad.)
s-KIZ-ers (scissors, also from my dad.)
Sometimes I put an "r" in "wash", like "Warshington". I got this from an ex-girlfriend's dad.
And I had a math instructor in high school who would say things like "Oh, I put the EM-pha-sis on the wrong SYL-ol-ible." This always cracked me up.
I've mispronounced these, on purpose, for so long that I don't really notice anymore, and it amuses me when people just think I'm stupid.
