Ok I just figured out why I haven't been able to think of any, it's because in the military we just replace any complicated or long words with a substitute, like "that friggin hooyah"

Example, say I send one of my trusty Privates down to motor transport to pick up a new Blue Force Tracker for the cougar, he would most likely head over there and say: "Sergeant sent me down here to pick up that friggin hooyah for the cougar."

The only problem with that is you forget the proper names. They used this one item in Nam that we called "Scalding Piss Death and Destruction" or SPDD. To this day, I can't for the life of me remember it's "Official" name. But I remember the "Unofficial" name....lmao.

The only one I can think of at the moment is not one word, but a name of one object: Rear View Mirror. It always comes out as "riew vear mirror". Come to think of it, I have trouble with "right front fender" too. It's odd that they are both parts of a car. ::)

Ohwell. Hopefully soon my language will be that of Air Traffic with very hopefully more global meanings.

If there are words that I have trouble pronouncing, I must not say them often enough to remember what they are...


Same here. My sisters, both of them (9 and 5) can't say ambulance. It will come out as ambleeance.  ;D ;D
