How about "Jaysayism" as a new word?

Exactly Sue, an important part of the "Jaysayism" is the complete lack of intention when pronouncing them -a sort of sponteneity bordering on the naif!

A good example which springs to mind being Dudget instead of Budget - surely a dudget deserves to exist in the collective national vocabulary -it has that certain "Je ne sais qua?!" (pardon mon Francais!)

I fear the OED may have to set up a whole new collection just for Jaysayisms -I envisage teams of researchers trawling Accyweb for them -could take decades to compile!

I see someone is thinking up sneaky ways of using up those last impossible letters!

OED will just give it to Collins to turn into a foreign language phrase book.

Perhaps we are all falling into Jaysayisms - Peut-etre "Je ne sais quoi"

Tabernac! Jaysayisms are migrating to other languages

On a semi-serious note: There is actually an OED of Canadian English. Turns out that "cougar" (as in "old broad looking for boy toys") and "stud muffin", are actually Canadian coinages.

Don't think anybody would be referring to you as a stud muffin Eric
