Thread Name: Endearing mistakes due to incomprehension
Subject: RE: Endearing mistakes due to incomprehension
Years ago I heard a floor singer singing what he'd heard but obviously not seen written down:

oooooh my dear, don't come any nearer me

instead of:
CĂșnla dear, don't come any nearer me


He made it sound like Widow Twankey in pantomime rather than a cheeky seduction attempt.
