Did your family invent words?

[MissPrissy]

tidge - less than a smidge LOL

As in - "Put just a tidge of ginger because more than a smidge is overpowering to the taste."

Or - "If you are going to only put a tidge of garlic in that dish you may as well feed it to the dogs for all the flavor it won't have."

My MIL, uses the word cuyahogahydrates. This has way more calories than your normal carbohydrate.


MY DDs Sporkies = sand spurs,
Panty Covers = panty hose
Partly Cars = not a car or a truck, more like a mini van or one of those cars that had their roof ripped off

Cattywank---doesn't sit quite right or across from

Juecus--multi-purpose word, to be used when you can't think of the name of something. "I laid it on the juecus in the kitchen.or I left my juecus in the car"

Wanglie = wobbley + dangley. Just all over the place and not secured!

I grew up smack dab across the Ohio River from Huntington WV, so I'm more hillbilly than midwesterner.

Does your mom also "wrench" the dishes after she "warshes" them?

I went to Columbus when I was a kid and the kids there asked me if I was from Alabama. We certainly didn't sound like we came from the same state!

I should be ashamed -

My momma -

When you can't get enough air to breath - you are lacking in 'oxa - gen'. Not (ox-y-jen)

I won't share her other speech embaresments.

If she saw this she would tell me to go cut a proper switch.

I grandma worshed her clothes with cloe white.

I'm laughing out loud at y'all again.

Absolutely--We "unthawed" our food to soften it and were asked to "scootch over" when someone needed more room next to us

Today, things are "ginormous," a cross between gigantic and enormous.

Smothercate (smother and suffocate) is one we use and conchannel (DS put the controller and channel changer together as a kid and we still say it) and chivering (cold shivering)...I have some friends that use some very creative words that Nifty or Terri would smack for repeating on here, lol!!!! They are very good bad ones!!!!

 

[ChickieWhickie]

My dad calls panties"step ins" and any type of revealing clothes are "see mores".

My family warshes & wrenches things too.

Sometimes, quinkydinks-coincidences happen.

Unthawed and dethawed were interchangable in our house! We also scootch over to make room!​
