    We did this in school, the teacher had an extremely difficult time ensuring we pronounced the word as "ass" instead of how we thought it should be pronounced, "arrrse".

    Being a school border come dinner time, all you could hear around our class table were many variations of rolling ones r

    I'm going with Dickens in Oliver Twist.

    Edit, funny how something like this stays with you for your life and is instantly returned from the dark recess of the brain, it was nearly 50 years ago.
