I’m sure you’ve all made up a new word or two – either from mispronouncing, from having children, or just for the fun of it, right? We’ve managed to successfully implement a few fun words into our family vocabulary, and I’d like to share them with you.
- Dinareenah : this is a personal family favorite, because that runny stuff just isn’t pleasant. Why not make it just a little fun?
- Zookini : Better than a one piece, I’ll tell you that. You might need a cover up, though, so’s you don’t spoil.
- Hopsipsul : Where you go to have babies, and get your tonsils out.
- Beeputer or Pitter : The box you’re using to get on the internet.
- Hupme : When you wanna be picked up.
- Absofruitley : Yes.
- Froo Froops or Froopoops: Only the best cereal ever.
- Confoozed : Crazier than kung-fu. You wouldn’t understand.
- Prenzel : A little stick pretzel just for kids.
- Jabar : A big black cat, that doesn’t have any dots.
- Schwirrel : That fluffy little tree rat I so adore.
- Shreekit : A loud whisper that everyone can hear.
- Cowboys : Bad Boys are skeert of ’em.
- Skeert : Very, very afraid.
- Vacannoom : The powerful dirt picker upper.
- Sim-Sims : Better than the Simpson’s.
- Sweats : Those sugary little candies. MmmM.
- Keetchy : Where the figerater is.
- Figerater : It keeps food in the keetchy cold.
- Merrrrrr! : Gimme dat!
- Got a good one? Do share. I’ll add more as they pop up!
Your turn – what crazy words have you replaced in your own vocabulary?

lol :rofl: our computer is a pitter. and we all know that jabar is the correct way to say jaguar.
ps- i drank coffee out of my climby squirrel mug today and it for some reason instead of waking me up i just wanted to come lay around in your yard all day……..weird.
LOL!!
Our children always said, “Froopoops”.
Have a great weekend!!
LBC
Shreekit: A loud whisper that everyone can hear (That was mine as a kid but I discovered as an adult with a kid it is a real thing lol)
cowboys=police officers: Came about after my son mistook the song from “Cops” and sang it “Cowboys, cowboys, whatcha gonna dooooooo!”
Vacannoom: Vacuum cleaner (at 14 he still lets this one slip out heh)
Those are great! We’ve picked up a couple of words from our daughter which (we think) are better than the real words too:
Sim-Sims – Simpsons
Sweats – Sweets
Keetchy – Kitchin
Merrrrrr! – It’s kind of a whiny thing to be said with arms outstretched like you’re asking to be given something.
I can’t wait until she gets home from playgroup now, so I can interrogate her for more
We say “Murkey” instead of turkey but that’s just because Lillian does. We know it starts with a T. :pilot:
Pukuter: computer (courtesy of my younger cousin, that is how he pronounced it as a child)
commershuval: commercial, the ones you see on tv (my son cannot pronounce it still) 😛
