Baby words passing into everyday family parlance?

We love my DGD’s word for sanitiser. It’s Hanitiser in our house. She tells us all about putting on her hanitiser on the way in and out of Nursery.

We have baby dongs for clementines/tangerines etc
Wentawent for elephant - that's my daughter's, she's 35 now and gets quite cross when we mention it !

Eating Beenanas and Logurt (couldn't do Y sound), wearing Lellow Sues!

Hodilays for holidays
Madilda cake for Madeira cake
These were words my children used when they were small and still use them.

Sweepet carper.
The thread about the Eubank reminded me my girl used to call it that.

My brother loved his 'ballyclava'.

I’ve just been reminded that DD2 would go around with her arms outstretched saying “ I am a garlic”.

ixion. I got severely told off by my mum , because there was just enough concentrate in the bottle of juice to make up for my little brother.
I drank it ?

As a toddler, I couldn't pronounce pillow - it was a pilly.
Grapes were groops ?!
Horses were bobo's.

Another family which uses Glubs for gloves.

And bemy buppies for bread and butter. That seems to have come down from my maternal grandmother.

Favourites still in use include:
Auction puddings (Yorkshire puddings)
Grussel's snouts (sprouts)
Windscreamers (windscreen wipers)

When GD was a toddler if she looked up and saw a plane she would say " look, it's not a helicopter ", we thought it was funny she could say helicpter but not plane.

My dad used to tell us to eat our buppy up, Cornergran.
I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.

I loved that orange juice, Auntieflo. My brother called it 'clinic orange', a name which has stuck!

Getting DS2 into the car was quite a performance and I'd say.'Let's get you strapped in'. So the car became the 'taptin' and my Dad's car was 'Gumpa's taptin'. This hasn't quite died out in my family.

DS told me he was well into his thirties before it dawned on him that 'Can't be a**ed' wasn't 'Can't be asked.'

Buppy Cornergran! Haven't heard that for years, but yes, it used to be called that when I was small.

I've just remembered that my little brother and I used to say
onsdoos for Orange juice.
The one in a glass bottle given for young children in the 1940's

Years ago my son Daniel was always called Dingle by our next door neighbour's little boy.
I still call him Dingle sometimes.

Hippo (pillow)
Diamond room (dining room)

We have embraced diamond room. May have to have that on the house details when we sell ??

We had codybyger for cauliflower.

Hopycopter for helicopter

Cars were vroom-vrooms for years.

Orange was ojins.

When something was too hot it warmed down

I used to call bread and butter buppy as a child, haven’t heard it for years until it appeared on this thread.

Many a smile here reading through, thoroughly enjoyable ixion. Thank you.

num-nums

When the dog sits looking at DH hoping he will give her a bit of his biscuit/cake/chocolate etc He tells her it is human num-nums not doggy num-nums.

Wonderful idea for a post. The one that springs to mind is Moosss a liam = museum, my dinosaur obsessed son couldn’t say museum ?

My now 9 year old grandson still calls me grandmama.
He used to say hoo ta ta for helicopter.
Daddy long spider for daddy long legs.
Ojam for orange.
Grassmopper for grasshopper.
Smement for cement.
Us adults still use them!

I am loving this thread! Thank you all for contributing - it's great fun!
