Re: Favourite words
Nope - "smiles" is the longest word because there is a mile between the two s's ( as my dad used to say ).

Re: Favourite words
Once described my grandson as a hobbledehoy. He smiled clearly not understanding what I meant.
A few weeks later he pulled me to one side and said "thanks granddad!!"

Re: Favourite words



We also have 'family' words:
Like Barlic -for garlic. From my son at 3 reaching up, nicking a bit of chopped garlic from the work top whilst I was cooking and eating it.
"What is that mummy?"
"Garlic". I replied
"Don't like Barlic!"
Dice-ee-dor - dinosaur
Bully Bunter - helicopter (no I've no idea either)
Floddy - flower
The latest in our list is from my daughter in law who got quite cross with my son the other day when they were watching a programme about armadillos.
"Have you see this armadildo?" She asked him
He obviously fell about laughing and more so when she added that he was being childish because armadildos were around first

panjandrum - a person who has or claims to have a great deal of authority or influence.
Re: Favourite words
Spoony - whenever anyone asks for cutlery other than a spoon if they ask for a spoon it is the knifey. We are strange like that.
Adding bob/s to end of any word.
Calling each other pup or puppybobs.
Gruncle = grumpy uncle
Grumps= grumpy grandad
Basketti = spaghetti
Jimaling = Gillingham
Both from Jack as a kid
Margit, ramsgit and any other gits in kent, we added the end but that's how train conductor prounounced Margate and Ramsgate.

Re: Favourite words
Thanks Andy - I will store that one to impress at a later date
. I need all the help I can get working with a load of GPs!
.
Love your family words Sharon!
We put 'OO" at the end of everyone's name.
So I was Mummy-moo (now shortened to Moo by my daughter
)
Alan was Nally-Noo (which eventually was bastardised even further and I refer to him as Noo or Noo-noo)
Hanny-Hoo - my daughter - AKA Hanny-Fanny-Doo-Dah
Tommy-Too didn't sound right so for some reason I can't remember ended up as Timmy
. He sometimes calls himself Timmy and his wife calls him Timmy as well.
Harry-Hoo the dog
Rosie-Roo the previous dog
The dog responds to dog-wazz to encourage him to go out for his ablutions. The previous dog used to come running into the kitchen for her dinner when I shouted 'send in the gimp'
. A quote for those who aren't familiar with it from Pulp Fiction.

More please! I love all these worms (another family word for 'words').

Turmott - turnip
Destructions - instructions
Wittle Wams - baby sheep
Vutiefull - Beautiful
Kibboo -biscuit (no clue)
Bobos- sleep
In fact I wonder when we have a conversation that anybody outside the family understands us at all

Re: Favourite words
Baffies - love that word far too much 
Pedantic
Blether
Drookit
Boogachoo (my pet name for Kayleigh)
Cushydoo (my pet name for Harris)
I couldn't possibly tell you my pet name for Owen at the moment ... He's in the bad books

Keep him on his toes sweetie!!


I just thought of 'whimsical' which I love as well.
What is drookit?


Deadiboo - something that is dead.
Doddages - sausages
And please don't judge me on this - Alan and my son invented this one: barse - the part of your body between your bottom and your scrotum. Don't ask-just DON'T ask




I hasten to add it really doesn't come up in conversation very often

Re: Favourite words
Drookit means soaking wet 
He's back in the good books ... he bought me a flake
