We now refer to any spray cleaner as "Dirty Scone" because my oldest, when he was a toddler used to run about the house cleaning things shouting dirty scone. Took as a while but we finally figured out he was repeating the Cillit Bang advert only getting it wrong. Bang, and the dirt is gone...to Bang and the dirty scone 😂

still used even though youngest dc is now 14. And none of us can say marmalade like normal people since Paddington 2 - it’s definitely marm-ar-lard!!

One of my sons used to regularly use the "swolled" as in "my foot is swolled"! We still use it among family members. My oldest used to call a milkshake at a restaurant a "shake your bootie". Yep. Still use that too. :)
