People laugh when I ask for shots on my ice cream. My mentioning of having "ice cream with rainbow shots" on FB even sparked a debate among my friends.
My acting coach cringes whenever I drop my "t" mid-word. For example, "kitten" sometimes comes out as "kih-ehn", "Britain" comes out as "Brih-ehn". I'm conscious of it in auditions or when performing, but in daily speech, not so much.
I also have a habit of pronouncing "Boston" as BAW-stin.

Hubby used to say this. After 15 years with me, he's cured. My in-laws, however, are always "fixin" to do one thing or another.
My hubby also pronounces "insurance" as "IN-sur-ance, whereas I say "in-SUR-ance". He actually does this with a lot of words.
