Words that you use that nobody else does

[Dave Herbal]

You know, things that have slipped into your vocabulary and stuck. Possibly cribbed from popular culture?

I say “locate” instead of “find” all the time, which started as a joke I nicked from Robot Chicken Star Wars.

Also, salut instead of cheers (Goodfellas) and presser instead of remote (as uttered by @Cheesy Feet’s Mam)

And I call my daughter “daughter” instead of her name, while she calls me “father”, like we’re from the 1800s.

Yours?

Loads of stupid words my Dad said.

Nail clippers are snip snips

Going to sleep is going to peeps

Hors d'oeuvres are horses doovers

With two year old kids you find yourself just adding ‘y’ onto pretty much every word. Eggys, milkys etc etc

 

[Frijj]

Elsewise. Only used four times on this board, twice of which have been me.

When talking to the kids, we call milk “mork” after that retarded foods YouTube video.

Out with my sisters one time I once asked for an elder fella, instead of an elderflower drink. Years on this is still used by me and my family, cue hilarity at my expense.

We use horses' doofers to mean horse shit.

We also use "dabbler" meaning to have a wee. I need a "dabbler".

Possibly my favourite is a "Halloweener" which is a piece of black card with a picture made from various coloured glitters.

Did you get that daughter thing from Californication?
Destructions instead of instructions
Changer for remote
Flibbertigibbet or nincompoop for silly person.

Tv remote is elsewise known as the doofer in our abode.

No, she just started talking like that one day. She goes “father, I can’t get into my pantaloons”

Zapper in ours.

Every time we have soup I always use my Gannies expression-we're going to have a "few soup". Never heard anyone else use that terminology!

I hail everyone at work with churzel or churtz

It’s weirdly caught on and I often hear others using said salutation

 

[Redandwhitedust]

"Aircraft" rather than plane. Usually raises an eyebrow.

Father in law was a pilot, and ive picked it up. Cant help myself after years of "correction" from him.

People who aren't Yanks who call them airplanes are the worst

Absolutley.
Father in law flew transport planes for the RAF then for Dan Air and others. He'll accept Aeroplane or Aircraft, but call it an airplane or plane and you will get corrected.
"A plane is something a carpenter has in his bag".

Top bloke and huge SAFC fan, but it used to do my head in.

Loads of stuff from Archer:
