English food writer and television cook Nigella Lawson has grabbed eyeballs on netizens for her "bizarre" pronunciation of microwave. In one of her cooking videos, Nigella says she warmed milk in the "meekro wavay". The clip from her BBC series 'Nigella’s Cook, Eat, Repeat' has gone viral with people wondering from where she got the weird pronunciation from. In the clip she can be seen preparing a dish during which Nigella says, she needs "a bit of milk, full fat, which I’ve warmed in the microwave". The part of the video has gone viral on social media platforms as funny reactions poured in. Elon Musk, Grimes Still Can't Agree on Pronunciation of X AE A-12.
While some couldn't stop laughing others have decided to have called it 'meekro-waave' henceforth. One of the comments on Twitter reads, "Eternally grateful to Nigella Lawson for letting us know we’ve all been mispronouncing microwave for the last 50 (or so) years."

Meanwhile, we think Nigella agrees to mispronounce the word deliberately. When a Twitter user wrote, " I love this, we deliberately mispronounce words in our house all the time. Such fun." She commented saying, "We do, too. Exactly that."

How to Pronounce Microwave:
Some believe it was a slip of the tongue while others think it was an intentional one. Last month, the 60-year-old had offered fans a hilarious, two-step process for making buttered toast that would be "lovely and hot".
