    My little sister used to make up her own words for everyday things when she learned to talk.
    She called the remote control - the dotendote (dote en dote) she also referred to her mother as bitch.

    'Gimme the dotendote and my pesketti'
    'It's remote and spaghetti'
    'Bitch'

    So cute:pac:

    Apparently, when my cousin Brucie was little, he went through a phase of making up a word that started with B for everything.

    I think I was at least 9 when I found out that it was a remote control and not a Barmuder, because that's all we ever called it.

    Really? What a coincidence, ours is called the 'gubinge', it gets us some strange looks whenever there's aborigines at our house.

    I'd love to have seen the looks on your american friends faces.

    EDIT: Wait a minute, you were kidding, right?

    It's just called the remote in my house, but a friend calls it "the squeezy", and it annoys the crap out of me.

    The Changer


    I live in the UK now and people just look at me funny when I say it. Although saying the word press as in "Kitchen Press" gets much the same response.

    I call presses 'presses' too:o. I understand, not many people do 'cos it's like, a silly name really for a press:D. Ps I call them 'the buttons', like 'Where are the feckin' buttons, no not the dvd buttons, not the video buttons-the telly buttons, no! They're the kitchen telly ones ffs!!!
