Who uses words that their kids made up?

CJhaughey

Just to lighten the atmosphere a little:)
I'll go first, my son @ ~3ish used the word Skibbitch to describe something that was dirty or untidy, and it has fallen into general use in our house.
Anyone else use any made-up words?

my daughter calls her grand dad " assey" "asseee?" , we all call him it now

For sure!

A helicopter is a happycop. :-)

An interesting one is our cat Bubblegum which our first daughter called "Gugum". This then became the new name for the cat. Then no. 2 comes along and Gugum turns into Gumgum.

It's funny, you think they are learning their language... but we're really learning theirs :-)

My son as a baby use to call Ornaments the Mornaments with emphisise on the M : We always remind him of it to

Great thread!

Buddybo for bus / Waggy for Granny (poor Granny - even my dad calls her that now!) and bickybee for biscuit, I even have the lads in work using that one.

Mayonaise is now Ooogle sauce, no idea why. This does cause confusion when we eat out though. 'Do you have Ooogle sauce?'

The answer is always no, strange that.

Ha Ha. This thread is funny.

"whoo-dy woo-dys" for pins and needles you get when your arm or leg goes to sleep. (Ive tried, but cant really spell it as its pronounced )

Granny's partner's name is Francois.

Little one called him Fanfan which has now stuck - even granny uses it!

There is an open space behind our back garden. We have a gate to get out to it. When my brothers were very young the use to call it the back-front. It's still used in our family and my son now knows it as the same.

My daughter says dam if she's giving you something in the cutest soft voice big eyed way they do when they're being sweet. If i'm in trouble she says gob gob gob and wags her finger at me!

Us as kids used squaggle. Its a cuddle where you nearly smother somebody.

Brilliant thread !


All goa .... means something is finished

bumptbump means going down stairs ( as in bump bump ...... on your bottom ).

The latest thing ( not a word as such ) , we went to Belfast ( IKEA ) last week of course this is right next to the airport. So now all aeroplanes she sees are ' going to Belfast ', indeed she was building aeroplanes in Duplo last night that were going ' off to Belfast '

Hee hee... that reminds me... we went to Canada for a wedding a couple of summers ago. Now every plane we see, she asks is it a 'Canada Plane' :-) Also funny... we were attending a barbeque at the bride's familiy's house the day after the wedding. They had a large garden with a swimming pool in the middle. We saw our DD just standing there looking at the pool, gob smaked.

The she said: "Wow! They've got the sea in their garden" Poor Irish girl... she never saw a pool before in somone's garden before!

My mam made up a word that I used to use up until about the age of 14 or so. "smokarettes" instead of cigarettes....lol sounds so stupid now but I used to get annoyed when people didn't know what I was talking about.

I'm 24 years old and my parents still us the things we used to say as babies.

The main ones being that rice krispies are called skippies (my mum even writes skippies on her shopping list!) and Coleslaw is called Cossel.

We call dinner "nums nums", something my 2nd child created. Helicopters are Hairycopters, going for a drive is still "going a day day". My youngest's playschool teacher tells them she's going to "chop the wing wangs off them" if they're naughty - I'd love to know what the wing wangs are!

LolaDub

Going for a drive is beep peep, dinner is num nums unless hshe doesn't like it then its yocky! The dog is called puppy boo. Ah the cuteness!

EcoGirl

My sister who's now 32 used to call a hot water bottle a 'hoter bottle', and I imported that into my own family and we all use it!

My daughter is now 6, so she tries to use "grown up" language at every possible moment... Her thing now is throwing "obviously" into every sentence... Its confusing because she's not sure where to use it and pronounces it "ov-i-bis-ly".

When she was little she used the word "pretember" for pretend. We still use it, but because she knows how to pronounce it properly now, Im reminded that 'thats the baby word Mommy!!!'.
