Some dumb bitch I dated briefly pronounced baja as bahguah. Not sure how to write that, but a hard J or G sound. That was one of many things that grated on my nerves. Oh, one more... She pronounced voluptuous as volumptuous :^S

I listen to BBC news frequently on NPR, and for some reason hearing 'Asia' pronounced 'Asiar', or 'China' pronounced 'Chiner', etc, always gives me the giggles.

I'm going to take a guess that someone tried to order a bowl of vietnamese beef noodle soup.

A long time ago i had a boss that said "yahoo port hole" (yahoo portal).

And recently on a phone call -- "what's the earl?" (URL)

A friend once said to me 'let's get and dodge'. LOL WUT LMAO

The Deutsche Mark has been replaced by the Euro, but a local newsreader once pronounced it as douche mark. She went on with the story but the other newsman just looked down and tried not to laugh.
