  • Do you use any made-up words?

    I use the word "scrummy-L" as in your hair is full of scrummy-L's (tangles) and we need to brush it.

    I had this handed down from my grandmother who used to say this all of the time. I thought it was a real word until I was ~36 years old and someone asked me what I had said and then actually researched the word because she'd never heard of it.

    My grandmother had Swedish parents and my mom and I assume that it is some form of a Swedish word that got broken down and 'Americanized'.

    In any case, I continue to use that word with my kids and all of my kids use the word "scrummy-L" and think it's a real word too.

    How about you? (or am I the only weird one?)

    Many, many, many of them. Many of them include swear words. I'm having trouble coming up with any right now that don't include swearing, but I make shit up daily.

      "Gee-gee" (pronounced like G G) - really soft and comfy.

      "Funsies" - although I've heard it from other people, too!

                    So many. Especially since we've had kids. Our family has a whole language. Let's see ...

                    Sticky bar = granola bar
                    Binky = pacifier
                    Sticky Cheerios = honey nut cheerios
                    Good night socks = fuzzy socks with treads that are too thick for shoes but not slippers
                    Your spout = euphemism for the toddler's penis

                      Bread handle = pizza crust
                      Owie tree = the prickly bush mommy cut down
                      Owie juice = the red wine that burns a little bit that the kids should not be tasting anyway.

                        Toot = fart
                        Fruitatarian = kid who only eats fruit
                        Stinky-odoritus = K1 says K2 has this.
