My boyfriend successfully changed the subject from an increasingly awkward and frustrating conversation about when, where and whether either of us had seen our housemate.
"/ju:dɪdwɔ:t/?" he asked.
"/aɪsɔ:rɪmlɑ:stnaɪt/," I repeated.
"/ju:dɪdənthævtu:kʌthɪmʌp/" my boyfriend replied, pointedly enunciating every sound.
