Just seen a clip from Nearest and Dearest. Any of you remember Nellie Pledge? She was always herring her words mixed up.
An old relative of mine liked to add coupons ( croutons) to her soup!
My MIL, used to say, "Its just a phrase someone was going through...

Spoonerising is bird watching.

My nan always used to say debating instead of abating. 'The storm is debating now'. Pasty, was herring instead of getting intentional. It made me laugh in view of your subject matter!

[NellieMay]

Didn't see jno's post and your answer before I posted, sorry.

[klazomaniac]

My Gran went into M&S and asked if they had any Disraeli bags. The staff looked at her blankly and she realised she had the wrong Prime Minister. She meant a Gladstone bag.

My mother in law used to get confused with Tesco and Texas Homecare (DIY store).

She called both of them Tescus.

A friend of my old Mum used to say excavator instead of escalator, and insisted there was a a retail outlet called Mackerels rather than Macros.

Potteries dialect is spattered with words used wrongly.

Just four I can think of at the moment...

Borrow instead of lend.
Been instead of being.
Teach instead of learn.
Can instead of may.

There are more but I haven't been home for a while and have forgotten a lot of them.

a friend of my sister was talking about her one birth - somebody asked her - why did you have a Caesearean. God my penis was too small. Ach you mean pelvis - ach it's the same thing isn't it.

A friend of mine was having a first baby - she was so nervous - she said to the nurse - sister sister have I to take my knickers off - nurse replied - if you hadn't taken them off in the first place - you wouldn't be in this state.

A lady I know just loves "prong cocktail".

I used to work in an amusement arcade. There was a regular customer who once won a sizeable amount on the machines. When asked why she didn't just quit while she was ahead, she replied 'That's not my velocity.'!

Being more pacific instead of specific, that's a regular one comes up
