We did this query back in April, did we not? I'm sure this was brought
up before -- maybe I've been on a.t.s too long. :)

Anyway, here goes:

Maggie = Magaggie
Metabolism = Metababolism
Pepi = Pepsi
Places of business = Places of businesses
Trampoline = "Tramapoline! Trampopoline!"

Yes, and by moi. I guess they just make me laugh, and I knew I'd
forgotten some of the responses.

Actually,"Flanderses" would be the correct plural of "Flanders." However,
Homer says something closer to "Flandereseses."

How about in "Home Sweet Home-Dum-Diddily-Doodly" [or whatever it's called]
when Homer and Marge are moping around the house, and they miss Bart and Lisa
and Maggie. Homer blows into Lisa's sax: "Sax-a-ma-phooooone!
Sax-a-ma-phooooooone!

Or the one with Maggie's birthday, when Homer puts the letters on the cake and
asks Marge something like "How *do* you spell 'MAGGAGGIE?'"

I'm not sure exactly *which* words Homer mispronounces in this
scene, but when Marge has a gambling addiction and forgets
Lisa's school paegeant [sp?], Homer runs into the casino where
Marge is playing the slot machine and says something like:
Homer: QAZWSX! EDCRFV! TGB!
[If you remember this scene, it's *impossible* to accurately
spell out what Homer is saying in this part]
Marge: What? I can't understand you!
Homer: YHNU! UJMIK! IKOLP!
Marge: Homer!! SLOW DOWN, and THINK about what you're saying!
Homer: You - broke - a - promise - to - your - daughter!

"Is the Statue of Liberty just a statue? Is the Leaning Tower of

The tower-statue bit is my favourite part of that.

How about when Homer reads the want-ad for a free trampoline.

"Tram-op-o-line! Tram-op-o-line!" Then Marge asks Homer to slow down. He

Have you ever seen that episode? Homer says "Tramampoline!
Trampampoline!" and runs out of the house. Note: He doesn't say the same
thing twice, nor does Marge ask him to slow down. Quit posting bad and
wrong information. Get your facts straight.

I forget which ep it was, but Lisa mentioned something about being "learned," to which Homer
said, "That's 'learned,' 'leanred,' Lisa." He said it as only one syllable, rather than two, of
course. Brilliant humor with perfect timing/juxtaposition.

TO fix the line above, when, on the radio, the removal of the statues head
is announced, Bart says
itis only a statue, to which home replies:
"only a statue, Only A Statue? Is the Statue Of Liberty just a statue? Is

One of Homer's best lines is, "Tramampoline, Trampopoline" to which Bart
responds, " He said what, now?" Later in that episode, the seniors in the
back chanting "We like Roy" is pretty funny, too.

Hey, no need to find it insulting! Just be glad Homer was able to get it
close enough that we all recognized which country he was butchering and
also that he was able to (sort of) read a map!

At this point, I offer a formal, heartfelt apology to everyone on a.t.s.
for introducing this thread some two and a half months ago. For some
reason, people just can't post often enough that Homer mispronounces
words as Tramopoline, Magaggie, Flanderses, Pepsi, Macamadamia,and
Michealalangelo. I predict we'll get them all again at least FIVE times
before any new ones are mentioned. New ones, you say? Yeah, they
do still exist. For example, "Kurns," which is how Homer corrects Bart
with when he's trying to become Burns' heir.

Of course, Homer never actually does mispronounce "Pepsi"...

That's alright. We forgive you.

And "Kurns" isn't a mispronunciation. It's a misspelling.

I was too lazy to explain this, but since I guess you're a newcomer
who is just beginning to watch the Simpsons, "Pepsi" is the way Homer
mispronouced "Pepi," an orphan for whom he offered his visionary guidance
as a Bigger Brother. Hope that helps.

Actually, it's both; unless Burns is properly pronounced "Kurns."

(And don't explain how you can't mispronounce a word that exists! The
point as you well know is that the words he pronounces are not the words
which he means to be saying ;-p)

No, it's not. Homer WROTE 'Kurns' on the card. When he chided Bart thusly,
"Kurns!", it was because Bart had mis-read the card as 'Burns'. I understand
that this is probably too subtle a distinction for your poor wanna-be
scriptwriter brain, but TRY!
