I was just reading these to ds. He asked me if I realized when I was singing the profane Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals song earlier that I was singing aminals. Lol Ds came home from high school one day wanting to know what was wrong with us. His biology teacher corrected him when he said aminals, and Ds tried to tell him he was mistaken. The entire class erupted in giggles and Ds spent a good solid week thinking we were Assholes for letting it go on so long. I love the word aminals. Have you ever read the kid’s book “The Aminal”? It is one of my very favorite kid books. I will most definitely check out The Aminal. Thanks.

The part for a toilet is called a ball cock. That isn't a made up name. That part is actually called a ballcock.

Thought of another one...DS couldn't say dynamite and always switched the middle vowels, so it became dymanite. ("Aminals" reminded me of that one!)

Growing up my family called tennis shoes "tennie pumps". My parents had a friend who called them that and I guess it just stuck. I don't use the phrase anymore though.
When DD was young, she had problems with her speech. For many years pigtails were "pink tails" and lemonade was "lemonlaid"

Tuna noodle casserole is Toodles ‘n’ Noodles. (I couldn’t say tuna noodle when I was little..lol)
A bra is a booby trap.
Cookies are “nothings” (what’d you bring home?! “Nothing”) Or bakies ..... cuz they’re not cooked. They’re baked.

What a fun thread! We bought a hot glue gun for crafty projects and Mr Craftykitten has decided to call it "hot snot". That's gross, and very funny! In Australia, there is a very popular slice that's made from a solid vanilla custard, sandwiched between pastry, with icing on top. They are commonly called a "Snot Block" instead of their real name, which is Vanilla Slice. If you don't believe me, just check out the Wikipedia entry: Snot Block.
