Anyone got any thoughts?

(No, I don't really imagine it's the result of serious research anywhere)

It's understandable, but sounds like someone is speaking with badly fitted false teeth. Possibly whilst accidentally spitting small gobbets of well-chewed granary bread onto the clothing of the hapless listener.

Uh, for suitable values of 'sounds' anyway...and don't ask me why *granary* bread. It just *does*!
