Will it scar him for life if I let him find out for himself that he it is, in fact, 'bread sticks' he loves, not "big d*cks'?!

My DSs are 7&5 and still call trousers "long shorts" because we live in the Caribbean and they never wear trousers.

They also still refer to Miami (fly there fairly regularly in transit) as Yourami as they hear me talking about Miami. We went round in circles when I was trying to explain that it's not actually My ami, but the city is called Miami. Blank expressions all around and a continued use of Yourami...

We have lots of Neville Bonglottom from Harry Potter too.

My DD is now 18 but when she was a lot younger she once asked me where the Playboy was Shock. It was actually the Gameboy she was after.

Spiders were affectionately known as diddly-diders.

My dd1 is 11.5 and some of her words have become standard 4strings vocabulary (I’ve read that this is actually fine because it instils family tradition/belonging):

  • Brekbits (breakfast)
  • Keppup (ketchup)
  • Crispspsps (couldn’t says crisps!)
  • Lapes (grapes)
