Things that are now forever named after something your kid said

[Echobelly]

In our household, I make a rice dish sometimes that is named after my son's reaction to it when he was about 3. Knowing he liked rice and sweetcorn, I presented him with this dish that includes both, only for his little face to crumple and him to give an anguished cry of 'MUMMY, WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO IT?!'

So of course, it has ever since been known as 'Mummy why did you do that to it?!' (I've even crossed out the name in the recipe book and written it there). DS is now 11 and actually likes MWDYDTTI these days, although he still leaves the green peppers.

Is there anything that your household now refers to by something memorable one of the kids has said?

In our house we have Cutenumber with salad meals , our grandson's pronunciation when he was 2 yrs old.

Mac and go cheese (macaroni cheese)
The lizard of fuzz (the wizard of oz)

People often "beed mean" to DD.

How was your day DH/DW? Sometimes our colleagues beed mean to us!

Earmugs were my DD's ear muffs. 🥰

Muscle strugglers = dumbells
Butt slot = butt crack
Lompster = lobster
Sprinkles = pins and needles

Ours are, courtesy of our now 36 year old
Mambulace for Ambulance
Glugs for gloves
Gressing drown for dressing gown
Best one ever was bump hack ridge, which was supposed to be hump back bridge!

My own has always been wilmills for windmills, which I first said on my twenties, getting excited during first trip to Holland 😂. Now the whole family use it and we always wear our glugs and gressing drowns!

When Wilf was first learning BSL, I didn't know the sign for garlic (still not sure!) We used to call Chicken Kiev Smelly Chicken and Garlic Bread Smelly Bread... He's 27 now and we still call them that!!!

My son got lost when saying dressing gown as a toddler and used.to say "dressinginginging gown" we still call it that now

And my daughter sometimes has 1 to 1 tuition for horse riding /acting but she calls it "1 v1" lessons. Which to be fair, given how strong willed she is, might also be how her teachers feel about them!

My Mum has a set of stepladders that my nephew used to call 'yadders'. They are forever known as yadders and said nephew is now 22. 🤣

My stepdaughter excitedly pointed at a canon and christened it a ‘pirate shooter’. That is now the correct term as far as I am concerned!

My 'children ' may both be in their 20's but the cat's little door is still referred to as the 'flap flap' 🐈‍⬛

DS(24) DD(21)

Pakoota (computer)
Vee-ed-oh (video)
Cream of Toad Soup ( tomato)
Primera-Tiramisu
Casserole- Coleslaw

And when DS was little he wanted Fomdant Fancies but described them as Fins with fins on them (things with things- he's proper Essex) . Had to walk round till we spied them

I used to read it as “Clanks” too!

A trampoline here is a "bouncy lean".

Callum Rice which was actually semolina coloured a fetching 'battleship grey'. Mum was at her wits end trying to get my little brother to eat anything. My Aunt told her she put blue colouring in her son Callum's semolina so Mum tried it and it ended up grey. More importantly, my brother ate it up!

Marks and Spencers = "Much Expensive".

Aww we have "an" ear wak

Combined Hard Mr for Combine Harvester and "fizzing" legs /hands/feet for pins and needles

Dalek bread.

Bungalow for burglar

Ah , yes , we still have Dalek Bread here

Knockers instead of binoculars. About 30 years ago in Lanzarote a family had arrived up the volcano, or whatever, just before us and the lovely little boy asked for his mum's knockers. I've never forgotten it and we still use the phrase now. (His mum was so embarrassed at the time)

When DD was 3 she looked at the TV and asked who Juergen Klopp was. When we told her she pulled a face and said “Clippity Clop?”. So he is now Clippity Clop clip in our
