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)

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 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

Oh, I could go on, but others will have more funnies to add.

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

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

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

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 !

A relative announced that her father had been taken off to the "palatial" care suite at hospital, she meant palliative care and she caused a smile in very difficult circumstances.

My daughter used to refer to ashleyes (eyelashes) and cutletry (cutlery).

Two misheads come to my mind from nearly 40 years ago, I used to do a village collection for Fishermen and my (then) little son would come with me, he knew most people in the village, and rushed up to one elderly gentleman, "Uncle.... we are here for the fishmens erection (collection), I still remember the shock on the chaps face. The other was vlishit, for biscuit, he was furious the first time that I could not understand what it was he wanted and threw a right tantrum.

My children referred to biscuits as dibdits, yogurt as logurt, the icecream van as the yayoo.
I used to refer to a neighbour from across the road as Anne opposite to differentiate from Anne up the road. My son thought for years that her name was Anne Ossopit.

DD1 couldn't always remember the name of the neighbours' new baby, and one day called him Simple instead of Simon! She also referred to the baby's father, Robert, as Rabbit. Needless to say those were the names we used in private for ever more.
