Family words

[bunnysmum]

My now 6 yr old has been good for some of these, including "doodles" (her term for Chicken and Noodles...we all use it now). I'm afraid the whole family also refers to "greenie beanies". For some reason, when she was two, it seemed she'd eat the food if it sounded cute. She still loves them, though.

When my brother was little, he used to refer to his crayons as "cranrans", much to the delight of my sister and me. How we hounded him about this, poor kid. But in his honor, we all call them cranrans now.

Oh, and one that my Dad coined...you know how in scary movies (oldie ones, esp) "they" always went out in the scary dark night with a torch (what, like there are no flashlights around? I guess the torch is just more dramatic.)...well, we were watching a movie one night long ago, and Dad said, "Uh-oh, they're in for it now. He's got his booger-huntin' torch."

One more from my daughter...one night it had snowed, and as we were getting into the car to take her to school, she saw tire tracks in the snow behind our van in the clean, white snow, and said, "Look Mom! Car-driving footprints!"

We use padiddle here! I wasn't sure anyone else did.
ETA: Removing when I found out the Urban Dictionary def.

Also we were the only kids to grow up in cow country and never learn the different breed names. My DGF's neighbor had a pet black and white cow named Tootsie. Hence, all cows are Tootsie cows!! I actually grew up thinking this was what they were called. Everytime I say it to my DD my DH rolls his eyes, shakes his head and just mutters "Why do you have to mess her up?" Because I'm the mom, that's why!!

A couple from us!

Mingua--Swear word common back home-replaces a couple of swear words

Sumunahumma-Another swear word

Soupy Poop-diarrhea

Thingy-Whatever it is that we are looking right at but can't remember what it's called

Igimme***-Ice cream man truck-DD14 was about 1 1/2 took us awhile to figure out what he was saying

Mook-milk from DD8 took the longest to break her of saying it

Blanket-what all my kids(and first nephew) called my dad-he didn't get grampy-DD14 started it when he was a baby cause my dad always played hide and go seek

DD4 at about 2 threw up-when I seen something was up in the bathroom I asked her what was going on---She said---I did soupy poop in my mouth!

DD7's words growing up

Beaka - blankie (still to this day she calls it that, shhh, don't tell her I told you that )

Gunk - uncle
hangaburg - hamburger
donimos - dominos (still does)
geah (pronounced gee-ah) - her sister
applecot - Epcot (that was just last June, couldn't tell her otherwise)

Those are just a few of her choice words over the years, she had lots, poor kid, it was always a challenge to figure out what she was saying.

Also use the word queef for passing gas. My little sis was babysitting and the little girl kept saying she was queefing. We weren't sure what it was until one time we got a good whiff. Its been queef ever since.

Um, I think that's a technical term for something different and probably shouldn't be mentioned here.

This is a little gross, but its a mom thing . . .

When your kids have something on their face that you can't just wipe off, sometimes you put a little spit on a kleenex and wipe it off. When DS was about 2 he figured out where the "wet" came from and he would yell "No mom, NOT LICK!!!!" He still uses "lick" for saliva.

Mudder -- Grandma. DS couldn't say "grandmother"--it just came out Mudder.

Doopty -- Snoopy (as in Charlie Brown's dog). DS couldn't say "Snoopy" for anything so now Charlie's poor Beagle will forever be known as Doopty in our house.

Dog Dog -- Hot Dog. My best friend's son couldn't get the "hot" out, so they were dog dogs. He doesn't say that anymore, but it was so cute. I still use it to take her back down memory lane.

We still call our refrigerator an Ice Box. I know that's a VERY old term--haven't used ice to cool stuff in the fridge during my lifetime, but my grandmother always said ice box so it stuck.

SNARFING - has multiple meanings. It can mean "toys", as "Pick your snarfings up off the floor". OR an attitude or emotion, such as "Why are you snarfing me?" OR "Let's snarf around" - self explanitory.

...Kind of like smurf, huh?

 

[CALIFLADY]

...but I just had to add my word here.

Actually, it's my twin siblings word. When they were little, passing gas was referred to as a bamp. I guess that's what it sounded like to them! "Mom! He bamped!"

My apologies if I offended anyone but ya got me. I have no idea what you mean.

ETA: Okay, I just googled this and got the Urban Dictionary definition!! OMG!! I had no idea! Again, my apologies to everyone.
I think I'll edit the original post. Don't want to get banned.
