I can relate to that. I can now tell when people have no idea what I am talking about from the blank look on their face, but they hardly ever ask for clarification. It took me a while to learn though, and I had several lunches that weren't what I ordered.

(Incidentally it's Teesside - relating to the River Tees, but as being as we are talking about phonetic spelling and that it does tend to get pronounced Teaside it seems appropriate)
