Funny things you said as a kid....

[RichT]

Whilst visiting a mate last night his 2yr old said something that got us talking about things we said as kids - quite funny. So I thought it'd make an amusing thread.

I'll start:

Yang Yang - chewing gum (when you chew it so long and it gets tough)
Bilge - fizzy drink (no idea)
Woof woof - dog (unsurprisingly)

Edit - just remembered another one.

Order redinary - ordinary (couldn't pronounce it right)

[Quedos]

my brothers is the best

warf a drobe - wardrobe
catcun - tractor ( no i don't know either)

[kitkat]

gave my son a row for asking for a f***ing knife when he was 3.

he was actually saying fork and knife.

same son was asked whilst being assessed at nursery if he had any pets and what they were called.

he said he had 2 cats called "bloody cats" :o

[wyrdness]

I couldn't say 'post box' properly. It apparently sounded more like 'pis box'

[SuzukiNess]

mement - cement :)
i couldnt say my sisters name, so called her icky (vicky)
my wee niece calls me janessa (cant pronounce vanessa)

[Skip]

Apparently when I was about 2 I started using the word "grit" for everything - I would even start saying it for absolutely no reason at all - apparently it drove my parents mad as I kept this up for about a year - no idea why? :?

This to me as a kid was the f***ing troller! Aka The Fat controller.

Never have I been able to say Sandwich properly. Still can't.
Always comes out as Sangwitch and I even spell it that way.
Obviously if I try I can say Sandwich and spell it that way but Naturally I always say and spell it wrong.

[Brettus]

Apparently (can't remember it myself)
Amsence - Ambulance
meh, guess I was young :)

[Caddy2000]

My sister used to call her best friend 'Nomas' should have been Thomas, and much to my mums annoyance my first words were 'Track Track', as in Tractor.
The best wasn't a mispronouncunation, but when I was about 5 and in the gents in some service station on holiday when I said very loudly:
"Dad, why do some men have big willies and some men have small willies?"

Didn't stay there long.....

[startrek.steve]

My eldest used to say Flaptop for years... (Laptop)

although logically the top bit IS like a flap!

[Stu]

I perplexed my Aunt asking for a "Fite Cone" - White Scone

[Skip]

My sister used to call the motorway service stations "Welcome Beak" because they had a swan as their logo - she would get so upset when we tried to tell her what it really was - ahh them were the days...

[Bibio]

from what i have been told ...

diawog - gollywog
diawana - diana

[missyburd]

My brother used to call buses "welly buses"
Argos was "agasos"
I can't remember any things I said, I think I was a quiet child :)

[Dicky Ticker]

Bit embarrassed with one sons painting of a rural aspect with a big tree in the middle Titled C**t Tree instead of country and it was hanging on the classroom wall.

Slightly off topic but can somebody explain to me how kids are taught to spell today
as my granddaughter completely baffles me with her writing and spellings,seems to be written as spoken------------is this normal practice for 5year olds

[Lozzo]

My son still has us in stitches with his interpretation of Apple Crumble - Crappy Umble. The whole family still call it that 13 years on.

His other favourite came about when he couldn't understand why the TV remote was either called the 'Channel Changer' by his elder sisters, or the 'Controller' by his mum. Dan decided to make up his own word that's also still in regular use - 'Conchannels'.

My nickname of 'Lozzo' was given to me by my little sister who had real trouble saying 'Laurence' when she was a toddler, and the name has stuck with me for over 40 years.

[shonadoll]

My son went to nursery school and was asked his name. Harry, he replied. What is your second name - the boy, he replied.

We used to call him Harry Boy at home.

[Gazza77]

My nickname of 'Lozzo' was given to me by my little sister who had real trouble saying 'Laurence' when she was a toddler, and the name has stuck with me for over 40 years.

My other half is like that; her younger sister used to call her Shon when she was little, as she coulnd't pronounce Siobhan. That's stuck all her life.

"Boom boom" is thunder to her too.....

[The Guru]

Couldnt say "Blackcurrent".. You'll see where that leads

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

same son was asked whilst being assessed at nursery if he had any pets and what they were called.

he said he had 2 cats called "bloody cats" :o

:lol: thats great :mrgreen:

[flibble]

Not me, but a junior at my school saying... "my daddy drinks 10 cans of beer a day, my mummy drinks more"

[wyrdness]

Whenever we played Monopoly, my sister would always ask for "2 pounds for passing Go". Then she'd wonder why she always lost! She'd also say 'Marrowbone Station' as she couldn't pronounce Marylebone.

"I wont ever drink beer mummy, its disgusting!"

[Skip]

"I wont ever drink beer mummy, its disgusting!"
I remember saying something similar about the birds and the bees when I was about 9 years old! :lol:

[Mr Speirs]
