DD calls it a 'dubbeet'.

I had the word 'soother', 'binky' or 'paccy' for it.

It's a dummy, ffs.

My friend always called her little girl's dummy a dody - where does that come from? I've never heard one called titty before, I think that's vile.

I think dody is a Northern name for a dummy. My mum calls it that anyway, and she's Manchester born and bred, like me.

American slang "binky" and "paccy" (snap, expatinscotland). . .drives me to distraction.

DD1 used to call it her nanny when she was just learning to talk - caused a bit of confusion when we were talking about her paternal grandmother . We called it a dummy.

My SIL calls it a diddy. I don't know why it can't just be called a dummy.

DD uses 'dody', or 'dode'. I'm a Manc and my Mum used it for my dummy when I was little.

I heard them called dummytits, once, I had no idea what the person was talking about, at first, lol! I guess 'tit' is a contraction of 'teat'?
