Just a few suggestions that come to mind:
Mashed Potatoes
Tahini
Eggs
Mayo is eggs, no?
I'm not who you think I am.

Mayo contains eggs, but eggs aren't mayo.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

No. Go for some speech therapy. (Should have been done at a young age).

If they are adults it is often too late. Also, therapy can't fix every single case.

Agreed. Not every single case, but I would think that a vast majority could have been treated when they were younger. I am not saying anything is wrong with the individual (though I've seen adults work hard on changing their accents), but I grew up at a time and environment where speech therapy was no where as common as it is today, but parents spent time and effort to get their kids to pronounce things correctly.

Ummm...its up to the parents of the kid to get him therapy. A kid will never ask for a speech therapist. Your pet peeve should be the parensts of these people.

Ok. I guess that is what I meant. Though who should I take the pet peeve of misspelling "parents" to? ;)

As an aside...
They say about an older couple from Monsey who lost 3 daughters during their lifetime that they went to R CHaim Kanievsky for a brocha and he gave one that they should never sit shiva again. One day the wife had a heart attack. In the ambulance on the way to the hospital he went into cardiac arrest. Neither of them regained consciousness and they were both niftar within a day. They never sat shiva again even for the spouse.

Why does it have to be negative. Maybe it's a brocha for moshiach to come when bila hamaves lanetzach? That's how I took it.
