DISMANTLE WHARF

I say “peepo”

Hell yeah!

peepo is new to me!

Reading this conversation has convinced me that every word in every human language was first popularized by people relentlessly but gently making fun of their family members' mistakes

I also say the full phrase.

Oh yeah, beans are "boners"

whoa!

Not to brag, but my parents still call gloves "glubs on" because that's what I said as a baby.

David is PP Bear, short for Peepy, because she peeps (sees and chirps) and urinates.

If there is residual adhesive gunk on a surface where a sticker used to be and it’s all blackened and smeared around it’s called “shremel”. (Emphasis on second syllable.)

Thank you. I really need that word!!

Yes. This was a missing word.

I actually use “shremel” a lot. It means basically any gunky smear. “Let me wipe that little shremel off your cheek.”

Less family more localized brain slang:

Chicken -> Kitchen
Party -> Bathroom (potty)
Philliam -> Phil

I have to go to the "party"! I love this! As a wee small kiddo I used to have "accidents" because I didn't want to stop playing and go be alone on this tall cold big bowl-seat. I feel like if my parents had just called it the party, it would have spared everyone a lot of grief.

I remember when Jae broke her collar bone for some reason we called her collar bone her "hot dog"

Film slang:

The shark in JAWS has a name and it's "Josh."

The full, given name of the titular character in CITIZEN KANE is "Citizen Kane."

The famous last dying word of Citizen Kane is "rosebush."

The title music for MILDRED PIERCE is a song with lyrics that goes, "Mil-dred Pierce / Her name was Mildred Pi-erce! / Milll-dred Pierce / Her name was Mildred Pierce!"

Yoda says, "There is no try, only could."

Re Yoda: I was thisclose to starting a fave baby yoda memes thread, but I managed to get myself under control just in time.

We also call all experimental films "French pornos"

LOVE these film ones.

[mention]m o l l y[/mention] please, no memes

I like when the baby yoda holds that mug though.

Video game slang: when you’ve been playing Dr Mario and you’re on the final game of the final round, that’s called the “biscuits round” because whoever wins gets “all the biscuits”

I SAID, just in time!!

Also whenever a person says, "What's your/their problem?" that triggers the recitation of an approximately three-minute sequence in the movie TOP GUN with various character voices. The sequence begins with Val Kilmer (a.k.a. Ice Man) saying, "You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air you're UN-SAFE." And it ends with Michael Ironside (a.k.a. Jester) saying, "I don't know. I just don't know."

JOSH

The what’s your problem you’re everyone’s problem has never gotten old for me yet

Oh also if you are watching a movie and you need to go to the bathroom you say “can you pause it” and the other person says “what do you want me to posit.” 17 years of this shit

A wallet is a "waléta"

People who pour milk into their coffee before they pour the coffee are "milk-first boys"

Netflix is "Ned's Flicks"

When you need to plug your phone into the car stereo or power, you require "plug love"

Nintendo is “pembo” or “Nim Pembo”

If someone says something looks fancy, you have to say "I can tell." (Because of the Cars song "Just What I Needed")

I try to remove the "s" sound from every company name that is plural or possessive, and add to those that arent: Netflick, Walgreen, Chipotle's, Homes Depot, etc. Gotta keep it interesting!

We totally do that too

We do too! Or just general mispronouncing. “Nortflix”

OMG I just remembered my favorite family slang courtesy of @RCH! When you're late meeting up with someone because you were busy having sex with someone else you say, in your most genteel voice, "I apologize for my tardiness. I was way laid."

WILLOW!!!

Hahahahaha!!

BEST

WAY.

I know I come off sexy but the truth is, I'm a virgin and I just make stuff up to sound cool.

Goojelly/Goojellies (pronounced GOO-djuh-lee): Any kind of gunk, adhesion, residue, or crusty bits. Can be good or bad (i.e., "Go wash your hands, they're covered in goojellies" or "Oooh scrape the pan I want more of those tasty goojellies")

Pickybore: House-spirit responsible for weird noises, doors blowing open, missing things, etc. (Originally a demon I invented when I was 5 that lives under the stove and eats Santa, but he mellowed out to a benign trickster-type)

"Smoke 'em up Betty/Bob": Any person who is currently smoking a cigarette

"Turn on, Dead Man": Multipurpose, can mean "Yes, I'm down let's do it," or "Give me the thing you are holding that I want," or even "You should go ahead and do the thing you're talking about wanting to do"

Nutflisk

Instead of “not really” say “nut really” (subtle one)

A bag that you carry acorns or filberts in is called your “nutsack”.

Youtube is called YouLens, based on a Law & Order CI 'zode where they called it that, thinly veiled.

"Teeth sweaters" are what you get when your teeth feel all sweatery. "I need to brush my teeth; they've got sweaters." Comes directly from the mouth of [mention]Lucky Luc[/mention]'s mom.

Spinach is an especially tooth-sweatering food

I totally thought teeth sweaters was a word everyone used and Clara thought I was so weird when I explained it to her... but it makes sense... they're sweatery

I also assumed that tooth sweater was a ubiquitous term... it just feels right

"Don't do it, Mitch": Said to someone (whether or not they can hear) who is about to make a bad decision, or one that would negatively impact the speaker, i.e. when someone is about to pull out ahead of you in traffic you mutter to yourself, "Don't do it, Mitch." I have no idea who Mitch is or why my dad associated him with inconvenience and poor decision-making.

I thought of another film one, which is that every time we say, "Oh God," we say it like Cindy Williams says it in the movie THE CONVERSATION. This is very subtle, but it also often leads to reciting the eponymous "conversation" in full.

He isn’t hurting anyone
Neither are we

Also:

When Franklin poops it is called “clinking.” “Did he clink this morning yet?”

My sister and I have been saying "way to breathe, no breath" to each other when either of us makes a mistake or fails at something simple, ever since Bart Simpson sold his soul in 1995.
