In one of the episodes of her BBC show Cook, Eat, Repeat, Nigella had pronounced “microwave” as “me-crow-wav-vay” while demonstrating a recipe. Netizens, obviously, lost calm, and took to Twitter to express amazement.
Here’s how netizens responded to Nigella’s comment:
It was so clear that you were saying it in a jokey way, doesn’t every family have words that they mispronounce deliberately for some reason?!

There won’t be an end to it…please pronounce “meringue” next…you know, the way we used to do as a joke when we were kids, also “picturesque”

I say kah-baj in a french accent instead of cabbage – it made the kids laugh and eat it when they were small :)
