Do you give things silly names?

This will give you an idea of how silly I was when I was younger (come to think of it, I still am! lol). My dad would make this concoction for dinner that he called "Tamale Jazz". It was one of those dishes where you had to look and make sure the kitchen sink didn't get put in the mixture too. Every time I would try to say it, it came out "molly tajazz". It just kinda stuck, and we call it that to this very day.

Lol the only one we ever had was, my Daughter used to call a Deep Fatfryer an Deppflatflyer and she did up to the Age of 5, she is now 19 and I still laugh with her over it,lol.

When I was achild my mum told me I used to call a pencil a deedaw. I used to call my dad's mum, my grandmother, graggy! She was highly amused at the time, mum said she told me not to call her that, but graggy, or grandmother said leave him he's ok! Whenever our dog we had wanted to go outside I used to say Bimbo wants to go gilly-gilly, where I got that name from I do not know! Talk about silly!

Hi Weemam, yes it is funny isn't it that we call all different names what we want to call them I have some in my family to as my father when I was young used to call mashed potatoes apple pound doubty and so from then on I would say what's for dinner dad and this is what he would say. So there must of been a wee bit of daft in my home as well.

Definitely. It's good to give things silly names since it bonds people together socially when this is done, like an inside joke. Also, it becomes an easy way to remember what is being said or what is talked about.

My son used to call soup; poop. To this day I tease him about that. spaghetti is scetti. Mashed potatoes are smashed tators. Blanket is Blankie. Pillow is peeyo. My sons name is mikey Drew. I have a friend I call Joshie poo. Yeah guess we do have pets names for things and people.

My kids used to call their nans wig a "hair hat" My dad always called the toilet "The elephant house". I don't know why because I never found one in there. Also, if anyone broke wind he would say "Who's popped off", this still makes me chuckle. On a ruder note though, if my partner decides to walk around in the altogether, I will politely ask him to put away "his Kubla Khans". I don't know where this saying came from. lol

The only thing that comes to mind is samich,sgetti and flutterby, translated sandwich, spaghetti and butterfly

Haha yes I used to call things funny names when I was younger. I used to call spiders spys lol. WE have stupid names for other stuff too like we call the tv remote the presser and the stairs the dancers lol. Might be an english thing.

lol thats cute. My son for some reason calls cheese slices 'gooey gizors' ???????? I have no idea where he got it from but thats what we call it too now lol. We have many more also so dont worry your not alone ;) lol
