We’ve got a bunch and the ones that annoy the weans, like calling Jalapeños Jalpaneros in public, are our favourites.

    My dad used to do this thing where he would pronounce any word ending in ‘es’ to ‘EZ’ so an innocuous work like ‘plates’ became ‘plat-EZ’. He extended this over time to any word with a plural so ‘roads’ for example became ‘road-EZ’. According to family lore, this started at a terrible Italian restaurant before I was born.

    At increasing levels of my age I saw this as:

    • baby - 5: This is clearly normal adult behaviour
    • 5 - 8: My dad is a comedy genius
    • 9 - 12: Alright, stop it now
    • 12+: Genuinely considering patricide.
