a mate and I once overheard another mate on the phone
saying he was "en croute" somewhere.

we almost died with laughter every time we brought it up for months afterwards. When we mentioned it to him he insisted he said it on purpose. I know that that is not the case. He didn't know we were listening, he wouldn't have been joking with the person he was talking to, and I suspect he didn't know what en croute meant

A friend of mine always says
hypochondriact which amuses me as she often mocks others for being retarded.

Another friend obviously heard the phrase 'lackadaisical' once and thought it was a good one as she reuses it on an almost daily basis. However, she says lacksydaisy, which always amuses me.

Although I confess that I only recently realised that Inspiral Carpets were called Inspiral Carpets and not Spiral Carpets. In my defence, this is because whenever anyone refers to Clint Boon, they describe him as 'that guy who was in Inspiral Carpets' and they practically slur their words, being grim northerners.

A bloke I work with also says lacksydaisical,
and unindated amongst others.

It unfuriates me.

You and your belming.

My brother can't say the word melt, he pronounces it milt e.g. 'I left an ice cube on the side and it milt'... this is what growing up in The Fens does to a person.

Nope
I don't have a squeaky voice, apparently I have quite a 'posh voice' although what that actually means is anyone’s guess!? I also dress like a normal person.
