The best example I ever heard of intentionally saying it wrong was by an instructor who was correcting someone else when he said, "You put the accent on the wrong sylLABble."

My grandfather used to say “He put the em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LAB-ble.”

They sound like the EP-i-tome of good pronunciation!
