Biscuit = Bis kut
America = Amreeka
People = Peepal
Clear = Kill-yer
Corn = Caarn
School = Sakool (mostly in Punjab)
Birthday = Bud day
Test = Taste
Manchester = Min Chaaster
Time = Tame
Very = Vary
Follow = Fallow (if you're on Twitter and following TheMeeraJee, you might be well aware of it)
Pronunciation = ProNOUNciation
Tell = Tale
Ball = Baal
Football = Fit Baal
Hockey = Haackey (mostly by old people)
Chocolate = Chaacklate
New Year = Noo Yer
Happy = Hay P
Hello = Hail O
Pizza = Peeza
Record = Re-cord or Re-card
Chicken = Chick-un
Cracker = Cray kar
Ladies = Lad-ice
Clinic = Clay-nic
Aunty = Aanti

Wednesday = Wed-nes-day
Stand = Stained
Jealous = Jay-lus

Order = Aarder
Gas = Gase

To be honest, we are proud of ourselves !! At least we don't fake an accent (unless someone is a BURGER), we have an accent of our own and we proudly use it !!
May you all have a Vary Hay P Noo Yer :)
p.s. More words will be added to the list as I hear anyone using them. Bookmark the link of the post to keep updated :p
