Funny words children invent

going over the rainbow for roundabouts, he had heard that we had to drive straight on over the roundabout and recently watched OZ. Belly bottomed for being full up after meal, and brother, when little, used to sing very loudly when Granada tv prompt appeared "its Bananas" to same tune.

One wee grandgirl hopped uncomfortably about due to poison noodles in her foot

Cathy21 my niece did exactly the same and it makes sense as they do flutter by.

My son called pudding 'broooom broooom'......reflective of his love of both toy cars and my puddings!

My youngest son for some reason called celery Oliver and the cemetery was the skelliyard - still used by us 40 years on. All of these are very funny. When my cousin (now 70) was little he told his mum he was going in the back yard for some fresh arrr

DDS2 called a helicopter an ooh la la, and cucumber was doodoo dun dun. Raisins were nunnies, and slippers were woo woos! And yes, 30 years later we still use those words....

Several that are still used in our family, Bounceline for trampoline, which I think is a far better word. Masagines, and we live in a Bungahome not a bungalow.
The daughter of a friend of ours had an imaginary friend called Melanie Rang , we later discovered this came from Lemon Meringue!
Our niece always referred to an orange segment as a 'dopey'. Some you can understand but 'dopey' ?

Sorry, don't know why it does that 3 times!!

When I was young (about 5/6)there was a fashion for boleros and I had a lovely white angora one, I was very proud of it. My father could never grasp the word and always called it my 'bothero'.
My DD always called cucumber 'cumbercube' and my DGD calls DVD's 'diveos'.

It's so darling, what they come out with!

DD used to call a helicopter a higher cotton, and tell me to fitch the washing shamine (to rhyme with machine) on, or the wimscreamers (windscreen wipers). We still fitch things on or off to this day.

DGS called motorbikes popops, baked beans were punnies, ketchup was shapper, and his latest one was calling Wolverine Ovarine.

Wish they could stay at the mangled language stage forever!

We keep finches. When asked if he would like to name two of them my grandson bestowed the names of "washing line" and "pineapple" on the unfortunate birds!

My friends little girl came to Sunday lunch and loved her 'auction' (Yorkshire) puddings.
My daughter came home after her school's Christmas dinner when she was about 5 or so, complaining about not liking the 'grussels snouts'. My brother in law then phoned up a local radio station to take part in a contest about the funniest of children's sayings and won the prize money by pretending it was his son who had coined the term!

The foreign languages teacher at the school I worked in was Mrs Lawlor, but 'madame' when she taught French. One of the children got terribly confused and called her 'Mrs Damn Lawlor' !

Just been to Spain for a week with the grandchildren, where the four year old made a little friend. She was from Holland and DGD told us she spoke duck.

My Grand daughter said Honey nest, for bee hive the other day.
I think it's lovely.
