Do you mean Mr Dinner Jacket

Yup, that sort of thing.....a laugh a minute here.

One of the characters from The Young Ones, was, according to my son, called Jobby Maydoss.
It was something to do with the song as it opened, cant even remember how it came about now, but still makes me smile.

Aubergines are Abberguinness as my daughter asked what an abberguinness was when shopping it took us ages to work it out, we had to get her to show us what she had seen.

I remember my youngest sister asking my mothers partner what a "Dunrex" was, after she had seen him putting money into a machine in the loo's at a campsite.

My little sister used to call snails "snazzles".

I think my favourite ever word is cumquat.

I can never remember the word for ....(hang on, it'll come to me) - stable. (Not hard, is it - but then I'm ancient!) I got round it once by referring to it as a horse-garage!

we have a family word I have always known but have no idea where it comes from - xxxxx. It means a zip up anorak/windbreaker type jacket. I find myself saying it in public ("Charlie, dont forget your xxxx") and I realise people think I am a loony as they take a half step away. I possibly am, but not because of that !
Another one is "catpenguin". Thats my husbands word.

----------------------
I just googled that word for the first time ever after submitting this post, it also has another, very 'adult' meaning. Sorry to anyone who only knows that version, I wasnt being deliberately rude. I will have to stop Charlie saying it now, it might also explain the funny looks... had to xxxx it out, too embarrassed to leave it.

Oh damn! missed it!
On a wine-making forum I used to post on, there was a thread about what you'd call your winery or brewery if you went commercial. Since my winemaking mainly takes place in the cupboard under the stairs, which has always been called the 'Glory-hole', I said 'The Glory-Hole Winery'. Someone else pointed out that it also has a very rude meaning!
P.S. - please pm me with the norty word you xxxxed out- I promise not to reveal it on a thread!

Kids used to call peanut butter peanut poo, yuk!

We used to call it plopnut bupper, which was my younger son's first attempt at saying it.

Perhaps we could play Vine Hangman

First - how many letters?

my little one says bonfires for fireworks and also asks what for supper (meaning pudding) she is nearly 10 now and still cant fathom it.

In our house, the word is 'bolkies'! It comes from my eldest son, who as a young toddler heard me ripping off at something in the garden, and shouting 'Oh, B******s'. A short while later, a minor thing went wrong indoors, and he looked at me and said 'Bolkies, innit Dad?'

We call spiders byesters after my son (now 16) tried to say the word when he was little. We all say it now.
Also he said weetaflone instead of telephone so thats stuck too.

My pet hate is newkiller or nucular weapons..grrrr and radio newreaders who say vunnrable instead of vulnerable.

Alison Adams I have no idea what your word is...I'm intriged now.

[zazen999]

I'm thinking Cagoule....

My youngest son makes up words constantly.
If he doesn't know the name of something he'll say "Oh, what's this? I'll call it a popknocker, and these bits are the kokeindoos, and over here is the bussy duggit."
Sometimes I sneak up on him when he's playing, just so that I can listen to these funny little monologues.
I really should write some of them down because it will be hilarious when he is older.
