It all started in the office when Mairead and Charlie were talking about nappy cream - not Sudocrem, but Bepanthen. Listening to both of them trying to pronounce the word Bepanthen turned into a circus of tongue-twisty madness - bep...bepant...bempan...bembath...peh-peh...
Eventually, Hector stepped in and cured the tongue-twisted two with the correct term - Be-Panth-En. It got us wondering though - what words do you trip up over?
I have to practice 'reconnaissance' under my breath 3/4times before attempting it. Kevin
Hi Hector, I used to have terrible trouble saying enamel. We'd go camping and I'd be asking for the nananamenemel mug, mennannamel mug? Mamamenemanal mug?
I always slip up on the words blow-dry!

My buddy says monzarella for mozzarella. Every time. Make it stop!
Hector, has to be "specific" - if you stumble the first time, you’re doomed!
Phenomenal is a tricky one for me!!
Hey Hector is it biopic or bio pic? Or is it controversy or contro versy? Phil in Cobh
Hi Hector. My daughter can’t say ugly – instead, she says Uggeelly! It's so cute
I stumble on the word chassis. I normally go cccccccccchassis and if I don't get that I just say steel rail. I'm a mechanic and I use this word fairly often. Derek in Clare
Hector! Good Morning! I had a friend who once completely forgot the word "Pineapple". He sat staring at one for hours when we were teenagers trying to remember what it was while we fell around the house laughing. I promise we were sober! Jim
Hiya Hector. My 4 year old can't say 'radiator'. But to be honest I much prefer her version 'raydegator'. Loving the show. Ed in Dundrum
