Vocabulary faux pas...

[Jenifer]

My husband and I were laughing earlier about Joy's made-up ways of saying certain words, and I was wondering if any of you have a list of favorites.

She has outgrown most of these, but we (the grown ups) still say them on occasion.

The ones we love most are...

Blip blop -- meatball

Flop flee -- flip flop

Lawler -- water

Cromise -- promise

Ebba -- Jana (our other daughter)

Woo woo -- police car, ambulance, fire truck

Anyone else want to add to our "DS Dictionary?"

Ya Ya 's -french fries. NO idea where that came from! Your post makes me giggle.

[hidyperson]

Happy Birdysweets = Happy Anniversary.

Nikmas = Christmas & Kleenex.

Interview = Fairview & Interview

[Emilysmom]

Here are just a few that Emily STILL struggles with!!

Her favorite pizza is "SEESAUGE". Don't even THINK of encouraging her to say "SAUSAGE".

Her younger brother has always been called "SHOW UN", rather than "JORDAN".

A boy at her school.....Jacob Phillips is called "KECHUP PHIPPS".

Our dog "Ginger" has always been called "SHEE SHUR"

And her favorite place in the world, Chuck E. Cheeses is called "KACHEESES".


That's all for now.

Sometimes these are repeated. Then it's Gregorian chanting.

I was consistently "Bob" but am more frequently "MoooooooMMMMM" now. I kinda miss the short sweet Bob's.

My MIL was here over Thanksgiving, he called her "Guck". At first I thought it was a combo of look and watch, but after awhile we realized that Gram was Guck.

oh, I forgot the two that have stuck and my extended family now say them.

towel = towelwelwelwelwel he says this in a low gravely voice
Where are you= r uuuuuuuuu? he says this in a high sweet calling voice.

Unfortunately, about all of his words right now would be "faux pas." He seems to leave off either the beginning or ending of most words. He's even doing this with words that he used to speak pretty clearly. I'm really hoping that after he gets his tubes put in next week, that will help!

Loved some of these other ones, though! I really like lobbidobber, has a nice little flow to it! ;D

[Deannalee]

k....we only have one since Justin doesn't really talk yet.....and will be 4 in January!!!!!!

boo.....any toy he sees

My favorite was when Clarice was little, she would say Wah-Wah and try to sign "water". Most people thought she was just pretending to be an "indian".

[kellyds]

Joshua's are probably more "baby talk" than "DS talk".

The funniest one, I think, is when he wants to be picked up. He says "Puh!" That's the word "up", backwards!

[cindylou]

Oh my this is all so funny...Kaylee has quite a few also.

Just had to say that one of Kaylee's most often and clearest phrases lately is :

"I LOVE TROY BOLTEN..."(
that's for all you High School Musical groupies!)

Till Chris was 4 years old he called Kodi "Dee"

Till he was 5 for me instead of Mommy he called me "Bee"

One he has always had trouble with and tries so hard is Cheeseburger. He would
say K O M O M A T E R Hmmm thats not even a word LOLOL but he would say that for Cheeseburger. So I worked with him on that and he still gets mixed up and will say sometimes C h e e s e k o mo b u r g e r Hmmm LOL

For excuse me he will just say ME

For God Bless he will just say Bless

He likes to keep it simple and get to the point I think LOLOL

Speech has always been Christopher's biggest issue and it floors me each and every time he comes out with words as clear as you or I. I will never for the life of me understand that part

But even with his mix up of words he never ceases to amaze me even now at 14 how he improves ;D

k, when Sarah was little :

Her brother Simon - Dai
Chicken drumstick - gilly?
Yogurt - Om???
Open for me - Dachy me???

And at 14 she still has problems
Her Nanny and her aunt who is called Eileen are both Nallee, can't figure that one at all? I can get her to repeat Eileen for me but she still calls her Nallee
And last year one of the classroom assistants was called Dominique and Sarah called her Dubadee!
My friends daughter is Ellen and Sarah used to call her Ellen but a couple of years ago the bus escort was Helen and Ellen has been Helen ever since (her teacher this year is called Helen so Ellen just doesn't stand a chance!). I have sounded it out for her, emphasising the "Eh" sound - I say "Eh-eh-ellen" and Sarah says "Eh-eh-helen"! Weird
