Baby words that survive in your families
« on: May 03, 2019, 14:10 »
The following words are still occasionally used by my wife and me. They have survived the forty-odd years since our children first coined them.
Ya-ya = Lorry
Combinister = Combine harvester
Beebana = Banana
Beemarto = tomato
Norange = Orange
Wocky = warm woollen top or electric blanket
Coromonation Street= Coronation Street

What about your families?

Sad beans - Sardines
Messamade - Lemonade
And a couple that are Welsh -
Ty bydyr ( dirty house) - ty gwydyr (Greenhouse)
Wy mewn pot ( egg in a pot) - Boiled egg

We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden.

Rootit - that was me trying to say Rupert Bear and it's the only one I can remember.
Since being together my OH and I have made up our own, such as:-

Dentures - from aperitif (a pair of teeth).
Quickie - a quiche (no Growster, no).
Scrapy pots - boiled potatoes with their skin scraped off.
 

I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Fizz - sieve  (I've even asked for a fizz in a kitchen shope  :blush: )
tundish - funnel  (I think that might be my brewer dad ...)

All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about (Charles Kingsley)
