For wanting to know about your idiolects?

[ThunderInMyHeart]

Just been enjoying trawling through Classics and someone used 'trumped' instead of 'farted'. It made me smile and reminded me of my dad (not a serial ripper of the ass (idiolect within an idiolect!), but because he uses that word too).

Instead of Waitrose, I say 'WeightRise'.

Please share!

We say ferzackly instead of exactly.

Why I have no idea. It isn't a word the DCs have muddled up.

I sometimes struggle to find words and come out with the most ridiculous things such as tapokita tapokita machine for photo copier. The word I want just leaves my head and I substitute it with drivel. Sadly the drivel makes sense to me until someone goes 'What?!' and then I have to explain.... Except I usually still can't find the word and have to explain with out it. There is a school somewhere I reckon where the photocopier is still called the tapokita tapokita machine...!

we call the local hardware shop the nah ne nah shop ,because that's what my ds always called it.

Chini and chino for Starbucks.

When DD was small she would say "Bidat?" if she wanted to know what something was. This stuck with us and occasionally I have forgotten myself and pointed to something at work saying "Bidat?" which always gets blank looks.

a barrier that goes up and down is always called a 'socks off' . ds named it thus aged 2 and it stuck.
Sweatitation - coined by me about 35 years ago and still applied to any soggy pit scenario 'It brought me out in sweatitation'.
We spooner a lot too. Turd cart. Shite and briny day.

Cardigan = cardidood
Bicycle = bikeasaur (ds couldn't say bike-a-cil)

Babigidables - please can I try some of what you are eating/drinking.
that gets odd looks in restaurants.

DS is convinced there is a Finniaddy blue hue, because of my Dad. He's a card.

I'm a little bit in love with cibo scumbo

me and 11 year old daughter say "snug" instead of cuddle, ahhh give us a snug!!

Stupid glue instead of super glue, due to an unfortunate fingers sticking together incident

We say boojun to make Budgens sound a little more classy! DH also describes things as being "fancy Dan" which I have never heard before - it means fancy, no idea why Dan! We also call Gucci gucky and purposely mix up al dente and al fresco. Oh the fun we have!

Whupp = fluff (from when I was a baby). It's stuck ever since

Groobs for grapes
Wickywalk for walk
Launch for lunch
Electrickery for electricity (this originally came from a book)

Lep for jump, as in "the cat is lepping about".

A work collegue at a frmer work place used to salute magpies with "Hello Mr magpie, how's the squaffids?" She's misheard "wife & kids" as "squaffids" as a child and it had stuck. I nearly pissed myself laughing the first time she came out with it.

We call squirrels "squiggles". Going to sleep "going peepees".when my niece asks you to brush her hair she asks u to do her "woowit" so we all now say it.

Babba. It means poo/crap/shit/dump. It always makes me laugh when I see local takeaways with the name Baba above the door.

BTM. Euphemism for bottom - used by a deceased great aunt who tried desperately hard to sound posh (didn't work)

"Electrickery for electricity (this originally came from a book) "

Catweazel! Actually I think the TV series came before the book.
From the same source we have "telling bone" for telephone

The buckets land - a piece of land reclaimed from the sea - when explained to my sister she wanted to know where the buckets used to move the water had been put. So anyone says they are from Ringsend to my family" Ah, the buckets land!"

There's a man sick in Bray - said to anyone that has said a complete non sequitur.

I use snug (cross between snog and hug and snuggle) with DD too!

Also a kiss and a love in my family - you kiss your relative on the cheek & then press cheeks together as you hug.

We have quite a few for food: 'cow juice' for milk, 'spag bog' (because the kids found toilet humour funnier than 'bol' I think), 'fish and chip-wips' or 'chippy-wippies', 'roasties' (roast potatoes), 'squizza' (a family favourite pastry/veg slice, which is sort of a cross between a quiche and a pizza), a 'chucky egg' for a boiled egg, and 'fat pasta' for stuffed pasta/tortellini. And when someone asks "What's for tea?", the answer is "Roast squirrels and donkeys" when the cook hasn't a clue what they're making yet.

Paracetamol are 'parrots' (From the "Why are there no asprin in the jungle?" joke) and a sore throat tablet is a 'sucky sweet'.

A few films/TV programmes have kept names the kids gave them when they were very young: 'Fish Elephant' is Luc Besson's 'Fifth Element', and you can guess who 'Postman Prat' is!

Bedtime is 'beddlebyes', and "See you later" is 'taters' or 'taters, gators'.

Feet are Stinkers in our house.

My mum once told me that she'd seen a nice jumper in Helen Mirren - took me a minute to realise she meant Karen Millen Not exactly an idiolect but made me laugh!

Supermarket brand coke (that we buy) is coca-schmola.

scrambled eggs - strangled eggs
