Saying words wrong

When my DS1 was about 3 he confused us when he started talking about Newmarket drills.

The penny finally dropped with us - but to this day I have no idea where he had heard the word "pneumatic drill".

DG1 used to talk about tink and lorry. One day he pointed to an articulated lorry.The penny dropped.

Grandsons called a helicopter an epidoctor. The word has stuck!

"Mr Splod cuttin the engine"
??
My sons number 1 and 2 used to say this .
They're 33 and 35 now.
Still no idea what it meant but husband and I have it as part if our our vocabulary now.

Plus when quite tiny son number 2 would regularly tell grandparents family and all and sundry that he lived near Fuckingham Palace.

Our DD always said ‘Windmill scripers’ Instead of windscreen wipers, we still call them by her name for them 40 years later!

I hope Fanny doesn't stick. Bless him he's such a sweet little chap. The older GS laughs every time he says it. What stories we all have to pass on to them.

I am still called DoDoon by DGS sometime, I live downstairs and he could not say go down when he was little.
DD still calls a lorry a lolly,,, and is married to a lolly driver.

When my grandson was a tiny, my daughter put my phone number in as 1. He would press 1, and the little voice - gag I want a vikle dive peas. - Granny I want to go for a little drive please.

My youngest son called celery Oliver - we still do to this day.

My eldest granddaughter's birthday is 5th Aug - she couldn't say that and always said fitoguagus - and so it has remained even though she's 21

My friend’s son wrote in his school news book that his dad worked for Self and Ploid.

Eldest DD always said she was "downrunning" the bath, when she pulled the plug out. It has become standard family lingo.

It took me a while to forgive the ex for telling her, aged 2, that her favourite toy was "defunct".
No prizes for guessing how she pronounced that, to all and sundry. I thought my mother was going to have an apoplectic fit

My DD used to sing her favourite song "Nellie the Elephants backed to front".

My nearly two year old granddaughter called stickers “knickers.” I was rather sad when she learned to say it correctly. My son used to have a favourite Ladybird story book. He called it the Norman Tebbit.

DGS has decided stumps where trees have been cut down are called 'bugaboos' or 'buggas' for short ?
We don't own a pushchair or anything else of that brand so can only assume that some child in the past also used this word for something for it to be a brand ?
DD's 'round on the paws' for round of applause is still in use by us today, obviously ?

My son liked his hat and farf in winter. My nephew referred to aeroplanes as mairmalanes!

My daughter used to call a butterfly a 'flutterby'. Her version was better really.

My GS would get very agitated when on a country walk about the Spiky Metals.... stinging nettles we still call them that.

When DD was small and staying with grandparents her GD took her for a tub lunch as her brother was ill and was being looked after by granny! It has remained a "tub" lunch ever since!

Chicken Cacciatori was a favorite meal when my DC were young, but they both called it " chicka sauras ". They are in their 40s now, but we all still call that meal chicka sauras.

My nephew used to say "Heliop pop pop" for a helicopter and I still say it. He is nearly fifty now!

DS alway said appoo (apple) and purpoo (purple). When I told his son about this he has kept it going!!

Both granddaughters said aminals for animals when small and I was called Raggy until they could say Granny properly

When my DGS first came out with up side up I thought it sounded odd.
Now it’s normal.
