I can't pronounce 'humanities'.

It comes out as 'Humanuttees'.

Embarrassing to the Nth, especially around friends who have accents of their own, they fall about laughing at my 'ocker accent'.

I'm pretty sure that's how humanities is pronounced in a reasonable Australian accent. I've not heard much different anywhere.

You could call them donjons, as I am sometimes fond of doing. Although a French person would question your knowledge of the meaning of that word.
