Why do people say holibobs instead of holidays?

My mother-in-law says 'Morribogs' when she means 'Morrisons'. I think it sounds silly.

Worse, Marge has started to do it as well now.

Haha funny!

I used to say gatoox instead of gateaux too!
And back in my Enid Blyton schoolgirl books days they all played Laycross
and I don't even want to say how I used to pronounce Cynthia in my little Welsh head!

Re: I Must Admit, l Do Have Trouble With My ‘Who’ And ‘Whom’.

I read an "Oor "Wullie" book when I was about 7 and came across the word "greet"

Its the Scottish word for crying, as in "Stop yer greeting, or I'll give ye somethin' to greet aboot"

I was really confused as to why everyone wanted to say hello when they were crying or upset!

Maybe Primus bit it's annoying all the same
Perhaps they're trying to say 'just bobbing off on my holidays" in one word!
Like Prinks, meaning pre night-out drinks


At least Brits haven't started saying Vaykay (vacation)

Yet!
