Baby words passing into everyday family parlance?

flutterby - buttefly
helidoctor - helicopter

Kitty, another village in Leicestershire- Swadlincote- where I used to take daughters to the dry ski slope. Arriving there, 5 year old says 'Mummy mummy, this is where Jesus was born' - 'why?' I asked- because the Vicar said Jesus was born in Swaddlingcote!

My younger brother couldn’t pronounce J so I was Goolie for years ??

Dibbits - My girl was really frustrated when I didn't understand. They're thin slices of toast or bread, so you can "dibbit" in your egg.

Eebroops - eyebrows.
Ladyators - radiators.
The megalty room - where you go at school if you aren't well.

Wig wipers - window wipers.
Jrandma - Grandma
Tands and Mace - Hands and Face

This is a great thread ixion

Butterflies - my own term when small for windscreen wipers.

Collyboil - cod liver oil

Labboo- my 2 year old sister's attempt at lemon curd.

To this day, if you offer my (40-something) daughter a norange, she'll probably thank you with a nug!

Nut buns: doughnuts
Mamaa: grandma
Gad-dad: Grandad
My son used to confuse initial sounds eg a puc of tea rather than cup. He also did it with the ‘s’ and ‘f’ sounds. Imagine my embarrassment when out shopping and he decided to play at being BA Baracas from the A Team, who often called people ‘you sucker’

DD2 had the usual soldiers for shoulders and Bnannna for Banana

Seeing grandtanteJE65 RAF slang reminded me of a couple
of funny things she said we still laugh and used in the family until DH left the RAF.

One, when we were in married quarters, was her running into the kitchen and shouting "Daddy the DREW bus is here".

For the following few months before we moved the Crew Bus was always called the Drew Bus.

And she once told her nursery school teacher that Daddy was on TOOT. The imagination could do very strange things with that :-)

Thankfully the lovely teacher understood that Daddy was on Route.

Route being the RAF Transport Fleet term for working away. Our friends often used to go on TOOT :-) as they said it was more fun than going on Route.

Happy memories

For DD1 I only remember her saying Chimley for Chimney

We still call lemonade - Bobanade and orange - Oyom
Both my DS

These are all from DS.

Grumbled egg - scrambled egg
Beggies - strawberries
Flingaloes - flamingos (we often used to drive past a salt lake in Cyprus which was home to huge flocks of them).
Carrot suit - an orange windsock on an airfield

My brother, now 71,, called beetroot rootbeet. To this day it's still called that. We once read in a comic, Cliff Richard referred to as Biff Pritchard. Sorry Cliff but between brother and me that's what we call you!

Around Easter we always refer to Hoss Cross Bund, having heard my niece singing the nursery rhyme.
Our son used to refer to himself as Twitofer and his sister as Loralind. Even though they’re in their late forties we still sometimes call them that.

Scetti = spaghtetti. We still regularly eat Scetti Bolognaise

Same here!

Way back in the early 70's my niece stood in front of the television and said 'Dadeks no good, go home Dadeks' and the Daleks were renamed Dadeks in our family forever.

One of my daughters always preferred her breakfast egg 'burgled' (boiled), and that word is also used down the generations.

My eldest daughter's name is Sue - when her first nephew was starting to talk nearly 20 years ago, he liked the sound of that and called her Auntie Sue-Sue. She is now that name to all her nieces and nephews.

Cargigan - cardigan
Aura - sons friend Laura
Lasagnee - I still pronounce it that way at home
Ranran - grandad
Helichopper
Snocks n shoes

Hodilays for holidays - I still use this !

In our house, penguins are "Ning nings"
Perthume (perfume)
My grandmother always used to say that Father Christmas used to come down the chimbley

Slipped dick instead of slipped disc. My toddler said this about our dog and, childishly, we still use it.

Little off post but my mother always said “mint imperial “ when saying immaterial. It fell into family use and my DD on going to university announced to her new housemates that it was mint imperial which room she had! ( she eventually got a 1st class honours degree and went on to a PHD).

I loved this thread so many words that my children also used but the one that embarrassed me was

The fuckentrwoller - The Fat Controller

My OH is always playing “the devil’s avocado” and “casting nasturtiums “.

Thuman bean - Human being

Aeroplane doctor - helicopter.

Oo la la - helicopter
Do do dun dun - cucumber
Woof woos - slippers (no, me neither!)
All from DS2 (now 36...) and we still use them

Good morgin - and we still say it!
Pusgetti - spaghetti
Didi - dummy
Lellow - yellow, and it was only when our DGD went to school and other children told her it was yellow, would she believe it (we'd tried many times to explain!)
When we told our 2 year old that he wasn't allowed to do something, he would reply indignantly 'am are!' (instead of I am - he was a very challenging child!). Which makes sense, because that's what we would say to someone: 'you are!'
