My DS picked up and started playing with something we had left on the table (a unit from our shower - it stopped working so we had taken it out to get a replacement).
Its already broken so it doesn't matter but to note he was doing something he shouldn't, I reverted to my childhood noise / warning of "Av-ees", said in a low drawn out voice, my DH then said "Ahh-mer" in the same style.
AIBU to ask what you said as a kid (to another kid) to note someone was being a bit naughty? Is it a regional thing or does it change through the years?
Does this sound even happen today? My DS looked completely blank, as DH & I were giggling and saying our word over and over.

This thread has reminded me what my son does. My older DS and I speak Irish but my younger DS (SEN) doesn’t. This doesn’t stop him telling off the pets in Irish despite not knowing what the words mean 
he just knows it’s what you say when someone is being bold!

Cos you kissed a kangaroo. - in a sing song voice. No idea where it came from or why we said it. No kangaroos in Sussex. I'm not actually sure if anyone else said it, maybe me and my brother made it up.
