Language / Things Polish people who speak English language say [180]

I have a few funny words/phrases a Polish female friend of mine has blurted out. She's actually quite adept at English, but she occasionally pulls some good ones, mostly due to rote errors. There are tons more, but these are the ones I can recall at the moment...

1. "I better don't"...instead of "I better not."
2. "Cheese cream"...instead of "cream cheese."
3. "Railhand"...instead of "handrail."
4. "Tripad"...instead of "tripod."
5. "Noozle"...instead of "nozzle." (she still confuses this one)
6. "Dripping"...instead of "raining."
7. "Rejigitated"...instead of "regurgitated."
8. "Wing simulator"...instead of "flight simulator."
9. "Funny elbow"...instead of "funny bone."
10. "In the flashlight"...instead of "in the spotlight."
11. "Ear muffins"...instead of "ear muffs."

And then there are simple "logic" errors, of which there are many (being a guy I might suggest it's a gender thing) ;) but this is the only one I can recall at the moment...

"I remember something, but I forgot what it was!" LOL!!!
