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?

dd called her bottle 'two' as (i reckon) we used to say 'do you want a bottle too?'
sgetti - spaghetti
the outside world - utility room (when we first had one it was in falling down lean to)

Bvb = DVD
Grangrad = Grandad (both his Grandad's love this name, and now sign his cards from Grangrad)
Flaps = Cape (as in a superhero's cape)

KFC has somehow become "burger chips and nuggets"
And every taxi driver is now called Mr Taxi.

Lecetricity (electricity) and amamals (animals).

He sometimes asks to watch Animal Mechanicals on so he asks for 'amamal macamachals'

Dd1 said wo wo for window sill

radiyurts for radiator, dd1 said this for years and dd2 copied her, they both say it properly now, shame I thought it was cute.

constructions= instructions
doodles = noodles
Pam pam is grandpa,dd2 said that and still calls him that dd1 refuses
But my favourite is Bum which is what dd2 called a cucumber when she was tiny. It was really embarassing walking through the supermarket fruit section with dd2 in the trolley shouting bum! really loudly. But even now when making a sandwich I ask her if she wants bum on it

What a lovely thread.

We eat clocklate in this house and sometimes Bish (biscuits)

Someone earlier said about writing these mispronunciations down, and I urge you to do it! We had loads but they are mostly forgotten now!

Instructions are called "destructions" here.
One item of clothing is a "clo".
"Pearl" was married to Blake in Dynasty.

We still have bisgetti bolognaise :) used to have cumcumbers instead of cucumbers but they've grown out of that. There were loads more and now the youngest is 3 and speaking properly they're all being forgotten - I wish I'd written them down! Don't think we'll change the bisgetti though, it'd just stuck :)

LOVE saturdaddy!!

DVD = deebeedeebee
Spaghetti = getti
Best friends = bess fends

Oh, he also pronounces crunchy as crauntchy.

My lovely DB (now 36) used to say trangle angles and nimples (tri angles and nipples!) :)

DS says hostipal too as well as lenomade and lots of others like that that I can't think of just now.

The main ones we have are huggles - cross between hugs and cuddles and we say "oh my sake" when we are suprised or pleased about something - a cross between oh my goodness and goodness sake!

I am 40 and my family still calls elephants "yosos" (I made this up when I was learning to talk, no idea why!). DS is 2.7 and calls windmills "billylala", as do we now.

I wear a new-ni-form to work (uniform)
we pass the ne-mote (remote) for the tv
DD get hyper-et-ic (hyperactive) on sugar
Any fizzy drink is beer (she hates bubbles)
I drink em-in-ade (lemonade)
Clap-ol for Calpol and Neffin for Nurofen

we also have huggles ( they sound so much nicer!)

she knows all the real names/pronunciations now,but we prefer them

I used to work in a lamb (lab)

Rice cakes are forever "gay cakes" in the onabike clan.

Dongles (McDonalds)
blinster (blister)
lello (yellow)
cuggle (hug/cuddle)

Kibs are crisps and Whada-dooty is a general greeting upon entering a room...DD would say it in leiu of "what are you doing?"

Yellow mmm's (macdonalds) was a secret code when dd was 2 and in hospital, it sort of stuck!

SatNav has become NatSav. DS1 is obsessed with it and has called it NatSav so many times that it's hardwired into my vocabulary. I have to really focus on the word to call it SatNav, much to the amusement of my family!

Oh and every hairdresser is called haircut, as in 'Look Mummy, it's haircut in her car'.

'pins and noodles' instead of pins and needles

'nayter-nayter' instead of raidiator

'essen -essen' instead of television.

Bo-bo = a cup
Beebies = my breasts
Woaf/woph (DH and I disagree on spelling) = a phone, usually mobile
Wapf = plastic grippy claw hair grip thing

All now stuck in my vocab

booboo - hurt
choocho - pacifier
cud - hug

Trawbeddies = strawberries
