My Mum would sat "Burnt to buggery."
But in her (slight) London/ Essex accent it could have been "burned".

English language - written - is a minefield.
Spoken only slightly less so; there's no record for other people to check.

The children I used to teach would say things in phonics that they had already grown out of IRL. When learning -ed as a suffix for example, "I hurted my knee."
