Children's misheard, misremembered or made up words.

In the 60s I was in hospital in a ward with mostly old ladies, I was in my 20s. One lady died in the night and another patient said " They give her artificial perspiration but it dae do no good" I'm not surprised !

DGD calls make up "snake up" and DS used to call ambulances "dinar", I think that referred to the noise, dee-nar, dee-nar :-)

My late FIL once informed us that he'd left the car in 'the culty-morey star park'.... they've been known as that ever since (30+ years..!) in our family - even by his DGC, who were babies at the time

We always refer to Asti Spumante as Nasty Spumante.

My son always had a headache in his tummy.
And my nephew told me,after running down a long flight of steps,that his legs were dizzy!

Samallama instead of Salmonella and Vanninog for Vanilla from my daughter and she still can not say Salmonella, My husband has trouble with Necessarily he says necercellary,,

My toddler's mispronunciation of his sister's name has been a password of mine for the last 30 plus years. Meanwhile, all those years on, I have to put up with a DH who refuses to learn any foreign words properly, so will sit in a restaurant and tell me he wants tisamiru for dessert. Of course he knows it's wrong, and won't say it to the waiter, so just points at the menu item

U be dareful (you be careful) We still say this today

As a child i called lipstick "wiss wiss".
My daughter called deoderant "Dundee".
I overhead a woman in Tesco call aromatic duck, "automatic duck"!
The empty toilet roll was called a "do do" because of the sound you could make when blowing into it.
Oh, I could go on, but others will have more funnies to add.

My Mum when the boys were into Star Wars:
Archie Dee Too (R2D2)
Daft Hapeth (Darth Vader)

Elder son: Snow White and the Seven Woofs!

When little my daughter always chose a bedtime song for me to sing to her after her story. One night she requested “The Blue Man” song. I struggled to recall such a song. Annoyed with me, she said “you know Mum, blue man grow forever”. Of course, then I realised it was a line from Edelweiss - bloom and grow forever

My mum, when being terribly 'posh' asked for a large 'smorked poke' sausage.
DS called umbrellas 'underbrellas' because you stand under them!
Until I was about eight or nine I thought the slide at the simming pool, the chute, was the 'chutty'!
My nana had a friend who went to live in 'Fran Scanscrisco'!
In our house now slippers are 'piddies', the tv remote is the 'diggler', and the footstools are the 'dumpties'!

One of my sons had bother with words starting with C so cupboards were bugoards, it did sound as if he was swearing

Par Carks, Trailway Lacks , so many children have difficulty with hospital, hopital

I have a friend who always says wardrop, instead of wardrobe, she really doesn't know she is saying it so I have never had the heart to correct her!

Budweiser is known as Bugweiser after DS called it this when about 3. Also ocks and oes for socks and shoes, ephelant and tephelone.

Garlic sausage was' Dalek sausage' when DS2 was little. When we strapped him into the car, we used t say, 'let's get you strapped in' and he referred to the car as the 'tapptin'; my father's car was 'Grandpa's tapptin'. Can't remember which of them referred to a banana as a 'bomana'. When we were young, the shreds in marmalade were known as 'marmles' and I still think of them as such.

When DD was small we had:
Addy-baddy (spider)
Diffox (difficult)
Fitch = switch (fitch the light on)
Washing shamine (washing machine)
Wimscreamers (windscreen wipers)
Kaputch = Ketchup, and yet
Brekchup = Breakfast

DGS calls Ketchup Shapper, motorbikes are Pop-Pops, and baked beans are punnies.

We still refer to the destructions that come with a kit and tell you how to make it, the glubs that keep your hands warm, and having some buppy (bread and butter)

We used to call into the church hall for a "teasted toe cake" and put on "tankle powder" in the bathroom.

When i was little i used to say spannieheel (spaniel) and vegebles (vegetables) and our daughter couldn't manage motor bike (mokkieba) or garden (garnoo). she once referred to a Fiat Panda as a flat panda and that one still sticks!

I still refer to vouchers as vultures! (More fun!)

DGD -- yoxshow, Yorkshire pudding and gravy

Cosafine,my Mum and Dad used to call bread and butter, buppy. I have never heard of it from someone else. Thanks, brought back lovely memories.

My father called treacle tart 'tarcle treat', deliberately, so it's not a mistake, but I do like it (and tarcle treat too!).

When my daughter got (accidentally) pregnant at 20 she asked me if she should start taking frolic acid. I told her she'd done her frolicking but she could start taking folic acid.

Took the kids skiing at the artificial ski slope in Swadlincote - youngest was about 5 and she asked 'was Jesus born here mummy' - took me a few seconds to realise why the question lol

My young daughter used to call her eyebrows her 'brow eyes' so that is what we call them now. A bit embarrassing when I go to have them shaped and dyed!

Another family favourite is one of Terry Wogan's (how I miss him). He always called dismal weather 'dimsal' ' , which seems much more apt.
