Funny names for random things in your house

[GreatName]

Do you have any funny names for random things in your house that have just stuck?

Today I shouted from upstairs asking DH to put the washing out. I said to him that "the spin-a-poo-poo is upstairs" as if this is the most normal sentence in the world! It's only when I thought about it that I laughed. If anyone outside of this house heard me they'd think I'd lost my marbles. Our children (now 14, 16 and 19) called the laundry basket the spin-a-poo-poo when they were little and it shall now forever be known as that 😂

Are we just a little weird alone?!

A messy- is a napkin for us. Why did they call it a spin a poo poo- I am sure there was logic?

Our remote control is “the zapper”.

Police raid for fridge

It’s the doofer in my house, the beeper in Mil and the buttons in my mothers

Part of our sofa reclines and we call it the dentist chair .

The potato ricer (ugh, how middle class) is called The Life Changer because well, it does.

Tumbly McWumbly …. Speaks for itself!

Feathers are wafoos.

The laundry basket is called the aday, because when I moved into my first flat, I was knackered, staggered in carrying a laundry basket full of heavy stuff and said to my partner ‘oh let’s get this in and call it a day’. So we did, and still do.

Nee-narh.

Never emergency vehicle. Where is the nee-narh (for pulling over), which nee-narh is it (fire engines are rated higher, then police bikes, no idea why). I just have a mental block and can't say anything different if I hear that siren.

Rice cakes are called "puffies" as that is what 19 year old DS called them as a toddler.

Zapper for the remote control and this thing that heats up and you put it on a mosquito bite to stop it itching.

In my childhood home the tv remote was always called the box and i thought everyone called it that. I was in uni before I heard the word doofer and hadn't clue what it was.
Kitchen roll is called rag.
Sleeping bags are called toady sacks.
Thingummy is a common word for anything in our house.

Muslin squares are called Moo-ees because that’s how DS (now 18) used to say it as a toddler 🤣

The remote control is the didj at ours

My dad called his Alexa the woman in the corner

Doofer in this house 😂

Our remote is called the Fred. We called it frank (after zapper). But DS couldn't remember that and called it Fred. We still do, we get some funny looks if we have guests and are watching TV.
The utility room was the tickly room for many many years.

Anything with a remote is an “emote control”-it’s what DS called his cars. If only…..

Our robotic hoover is called Hector.

The tv remote control is known as the plinky. Nobody knows why.

Our remote controls are all called the diddlers

Flicky dicky in our house

We call kitchen roll Burly - after a Simpsons episode.

Toilet rolls are ablution scrolls.

I snappily call the remote ‘the changer-overer’.
Gloves are ‘globs’ and shoes are ‘oosh’ from when toddler DS2 had glue ear and was virtually deaf.
