Or is this the best word ever?!

What's your best "wrong name" story?

DS couldn't say his 'k' sounds when he was younger so it was Simon Towel and dot-dot was chocolate 😊

fozzlyplum my eldest calls it Clanks too!

Posieetal we also call them "Roger Rogers"! I love the way they say it and annoy DS to death by repeatedly saying it

We always have "brewblees" after DS switched his letters round.

I used to say to my nana "no lid nana" meaning I didn't want my hat on 😊

These are so sweet!

Our DD's bedside table is at the foot of her cot (it's a long, thin room). The other day DS came to tell me that the knob had fallen off his sisters backside table. Totally logical - it's at the back of her bed.

When we were little my sister used to say someone was "posh of themselves" if they were being a bit snooty or showing off. We still use it now because it totally works.

A very pregnant and suffering pure hormonal stupidity...

Couldn't remember the word for wrists as I was trying to explain to my midwife that they were hurting.

I went with "arm ankle" much to her amusement

Somebody I knew used to say "it snew" instead of "it snowed" - I guess they were following the same pattern as blew/blow. It's stuck with me ever since.

I know it's silly but this is so outing.

My DD calls restaurants the eating house. We all call it that now!

a 'high dodder' is a helicopter according to DS

We have pomecarrots (pomegranate) and ondinges (oranges) in our house.

Oh and DD called blueberries ‘boobies’ for a while. Not great when your toddler is shouting ‘want boobies mummy’ at the top of her voice in Sainsbury’s 🤦‍♀️

I'm not having a not-wash = I'm having a wash (ds aged 2)

Radi-heater shelf was window sill.

Lemonbubbles lemonade &
Teens now call bras tit sacks. Quite like those, less so in polite company!

Boiled head = Bald head

In a similar situation, I cane up with “cold cupboard” for fridge.

We also have”Cloe” for a single garment ie: singular or clothes

3yo DD was copying Peppa Pig today and came out with some absolute gems.

My favourite was 'dangerous tree on public pieway' - public highway

"Nugget shop"- McDonald's

We have lem aid for lemonade
Under brella - umbrella
And poky noky. Pinocchio

I’m just enjoying a ‘piece of quiet’ which means they have to leave me alone while I drink my tea.

Many, many years of asking for peace and quiet!!

When DD was 2 she loved me to sing or read from her big book of nursery rhymes. But she struggled to say “nursery”, and would regularly totter into the room, carrying the massive tome, and shouting “Nervous rhymes!” with enthusiasm! They’ve been known as that ever since.
Helicopters were called “hoppiters”, deodorant was “radio on it” and lentil soup was “mental soup”.
Rice Krispies were “Keefies”, and there were often demands for “More some Keefies”, a grammatical construction that I loved and used jokingly with the kids for years.

For DS, having pins and needles is having "beanfoot". Apparently it feels like the bean bags they play catch with in school.

Socks are known as 'toe houses' since DD1 could talk and when the volume increases, things become 'too loud-y'!

Street-stripper and sweepy-sweeper were the same thing in our house. Known more commonly as street sweeper.

My DD called radiators Radi Heaters.
She thought radiator was such a rubbish word.

We have visits to the eye dentist, and the water dispenser from the fridge is called a fridge kettle

@GreenWingers my ds calls them nins and peedles 😁
