I have made a few of these recently and also heard someone else use one too and I thought it might be a good topic ...

My recent one today was: Turing Macheese (Maturing Cheese)

An old one that I would say is: Par Carks (Car Parks)

I heard the other day in a restaurant a waitress asked diners: who asked for Sham Lanks (Lamb Shanks)


Anyone else have the same sometimes embarrassing problem :lol:

I do it all the time. I think I speak too quickly!

I do the Par Cark all the time. I usually just carry on and hope no-one has noticed! I also muddle words up. We have a towel to dry our electric toothbrush on and I always call it the Toothpaste Towel instead of toothbrush.

As I get older I can't remember names for objects either. It is there in my head, but won't come out of my mouth. :lol:
