Have you adopted words created by your DC when they were learning to talk?

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

I now say 'scaf-building' instead of scaffolding, courtesy of DS1, because it just made sense.

Do you have any words like these?

And does it get you some weird looks?

My FIL is bumpy courtesey of the first 2 grandchildren...my 3 are carrying on the tradition.

Lawnmower has become mawnlower...
and due to some rotters theiving copper from the railway line behind our house...helicopter is bellycopter (due to it flying over our house 6 times a day for the last week)

the remote control will forever be known as the 'buh' even though DS cannot even remember calling it that and now knows perfectly well what it's called

DS1 called DS2 Wiss Woo - instead of Lewis. We all call him it now and even shorten it to Wiss. Even DD1s 15 year old friends!

DD aged 4 calls Toys R Us 'Toys We Are' and we have adopted as a household 'compoodat' for computer, 'moike' for milk and 'granny-bread' for brown bread.

Burger Cow = Burger King
Humpty Humpty = Humpty Dumpty
Anton Dec = Ant & Dec
Laloon = Balloon
Valina = vanilla
Sumbarella = Umberella

Sam and More Sam - ex-Dh and DB both called Sam, this was my nephews way of sorting that out!
Nee Naws - thanks DS, it's a bit embarassing when you call them that and you have no DC present!
A Pincher (splinter)

Teas just reminded me

Old McDonalds - McDonalds

nozzle = nose
pasketti = spaghetti
doodles = noodles

Going to go away and have a think as there are loads more

Banogganing is fun and we like to eat Dammy Jodgers.
Whenever we see hay in a field (a lot in the countryside) we have to shout Hey Hay!
:)

ELC is Erning Werning Centre
Stawberries are trawbries
hiking boots are viking boots
fizzy belt is fuzzy felt
repellers are propellors

We 'enember' things in our family as that is what DBIL apparently used to say

Ice lollies are breebrees. It took ages to work out why dd thought this but we realised that we used to hold the different colours up as we offered them and ask 'strawberry? raspberry? blueberry?' etc. And she started calling them breebrees due to our poor enunciation presumably.

We also say 'I can do it by my own self' and weetabix = weetabiscuits and trampoline = jumpoline

my favourite: doddesses = sausages
worms = spaghetti
dorbehwies = strawberries
dumdum = dummy
There were loads but I can't remember them!

From DH:
honey is bee spit and oranges/tangerines are narchies

DH was getting us all some ice cream when DS was about 2. DS ran up the stairs to tell me - I have never seen him so excited. His exact words were "Daddy got cee-ceem. It coooooooold" with illustrative shudder.
We have talked about cee-ceem ever since.

Since DH is away a lot we look forward to Saturdaddy, Sundaddy and Holidaddies. (Saturday, Sunday, Holidays).

oh yes and oaty raspberry bars are called "bee bars" - like the previous poster, presumably a much shortened version of "Berry"

lol at Saturdaddy, that's lovely, says it all :o

Here....5 years later we still huggle (as opposed to hug or cuddle)

And going to Tesco was until recently known as "trolley shopping" (as opposed to wandering around other types of shops)

Just remembered one from a friend's daughter about 16 years ago. She kept asking for her frattendum and for ages nobody knew what she meant. Eventually it became clear it was her dummy - everyone called it 'that rotten dummy' and she'd come up with her version.

And another to add to my lot - milk is called mook, juice is doos, Thomas (the Tank Engine) is called Toffas and ducks do NOT go quack quack, they go 'duck duck duck'. Apparently.

Our dishwasher is now known as "the disher" courtesy of dd.

feeps for feet
radie-delter for radiator
ca ca for car (DS had a habit of duplicating the first syllable of every word for a while so we all did it too - can't have helped him ;-))
giraffes are long necks :)
muslins = Mr Muz/muzzie

I love vail narnish.

The one that springs to mind is "booblies", which is what DD2 always called blueberries.

Another family phrase is "nothing of your mind", which was a kind of combo of "nothing to do with you" and "mind your own business", first used by DS1 many years ago.
