KateBall Report post Posted March 4, 2008 When playing a game the other day with my ds he said "stop keep telling me tic tacs" - meaning tactics. His latests "swear /curse word is "tutus" as in ballet tutu. Haven't a clue why and I just hope he's made it up and it isn't some sort of very rude expression he's heard and I haven't!

krystaltps Report post Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Oh, I like this thread - this is C's speciality. He has been playing with words since he was 3 years old. All of his words are fantastic, and have become regular parts of family vocabulary. Spotten - applied to the twinkles, meaning spoiled rotten Bumpop - flatulence Pokeynut - an insult, as in "You are a Pokeynut" Underbelly - one's bottom Construnctions - the bit in the box of chocolates that tells you what flavour they all are He also uses old-fashioned words such as pataloons (meaning his underpants). There are loads more, I just can't remember them all at the moment. Edited March 11, 2008 by krystaltps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
