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?)
