Out of the mouths of babes...

Now, this could be momma bias showing through here - but sometimes I think that the words kids say are much better than the real words. I know that Punky has trouble saying certain words, and so these wild wickedly fun to say words come out instead - and I, like a bad parent, mimic my child because it's way more fun 
Some of the extra fun words in our home are (see if you can figure out what they are):
municorn
shugel
nake
bambaid
sleeping duty

My favorite from a little boy I used to watch was:

LOL I forgot the newest one:
gubble gum.

lol ... our family has called hamburgers "hangaburgs" for like 25 years now. My nephew first said it when he was 3 ... he's married with kids now.
unicorn
snuggle
snake
band aid
sleep in nudie? ... no-
Close!
Hangaburgs? Now that's funny! -
Oh my gosh-maybe we're related--my little brother is the only person I ever knew of that called hamburgers "hangaburgers". Weird. -
Oh, I apparently did hangaburgers myself.
Also, I understand-- Bamburgers-- which was a store in the 70s (Macys) and caused a huge problem because I thought once we were going to go to Burger King and instead we were going furniture shopping at the mall.
I was NOT happy.

municorn is a unicorn with a mullet.
shugel is sugar bought and sold by angels on the black market. Also slang for "rock candy", which is high dollar sugar.
nake is a night-light disguised as a rake. He's incognito. Shhhh.
bambaid is roller blades worn by bambi. They do nothing to protect against hunters though, and can not be returned for this reason. The only option is to escape on roller blades if you live in the city, useless if worn in the forest.
sleeping duty is an overweight fat dude in the military falling asleep on the toilet. He likes to read archie and jughead comics.-
LMAO
Those are the best definitions ever -
The worst part is that the roller blades are only sold in pairs..And bambi has four legs. So the makers of "Bambaids" are marketing geniuses, hooray.

Thanks riverstyxxx. My teeth were beginning to decay.-
You know you want to say gubble gum.
-

municorn- Unicorn
shugel- Sugar
nake- Cake
bambaid- Bandaid
sleeping duty- Sleeping Beauty
I could be wrong.. lol-
ohhhh...I bet you're right.
Sleeping beauty makes way more sense then what I though, -
You are the closest yet!
You can kinda tell who the mommies and/or people with little ones around are -
Gah! which one did I miss?
-
Shugel and nake
-
Ooh burn.. ok then nake is snake? I can't figure out shugel, it's shugelin me over here! lmao Heck I don't even know how it's pronounced, Shoe gul or shu gel.. lol.
-
Yup, it's snake, and shovel.
-
I would never have guessed shovel! haha. That's cute though, the little Punky is punk!
-
I think these are all right except that shugel should be "shovel" and nake should be "snake" -
I'm with ChicaX on all of them (I have a two year old at home)

one of the best episodes of Rugrats is where the mommies are going to the M&M machine ... and the moms couldn't figure out why the kids kept hitting buttons and holding their hands out. the whole episode was based on the kids' versions of all sorts of words.-
It's true, they have their own language at times.
Sometimes Punky says things like
"Please can I may have a treat?"
I can't stand it!

Being the mom of four I have had quite a few cool words. I wish I could remember them all.
The current new words in my house are:
fingens =fingers
nemonade=lemonade-
nemonade...that IS a fun one.
Watch now, I'm going to end up saying it, and punky will repeat it

Hopsickle is our favorite. And MRCFT Word (Microsoft Word). I'm not even sure how he really says this!
This made me laugh because I do posts on my blog about this kind of thing. My son is autistic, and about once a month I do a post called "C-isms." It's messed up words he says, or just funny things he says. They're the most popular posts I do, really.
Anyway, syrup-y as it is, I enjoyed reading all of that! I guess I'm schmoopy after all! ;-)-
Nuthin wrong with being schmoopy
-
LOL Ian is currently on the road to diagnosis for what we are sure is Asperger's and his little isms are the funniest stuff ever!
-
No dont say schmoopy!!!!!
-
schmoopy.

Last night Ian was calling the locusts "moles" - no clue why. Yesterday we had grilled cheese and Ian had a fit telling me he didn't want "Girl Cheese". Oye.
Lara still says everything with no "r" so it all sounds too cute. She doesn't say drink or water, she hits up whoever is at the sink for what sounds like "not now". Nooooooo idea why. She says it at the back door, too, but we figured that was because daddy smokes outside and he's always telling her, "Not now" when she wants to follow him.
Ian and Erin sound the same coming from Lara - Eeen.
Erin once called a smiley face she had drawn on the bathroom windowsill a "balded bear with no ears" LOL-
Oh I smoke out on the back porch too - and Punky always says
mommy, are your having a mokey treat? OK, OK, I'll sit away...

I totally lost the subject of this thread, but I wanted to mention what it reminded me of, and that's what critters say, not how they say it. In fact my note-worthy line from my 5 yr old is "Mommy what are testicles?" I honestly could not tell him because I was laughing so hard. Of course now that they think it's funny too, they won't stop saying it.
They learned it from the Simpsons/Family guy.. I don't know that they should watch those shows anymore.. lol -
Oh wow, I completely read the title wrong. I thought it said lets make mouth babies. That could have gotten me into some trouble, haha. -
you perveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
hey, I thought you were going to bed?!

I go a slightly different route. Randy's pronounciation is usually spot-on, and it is I that makes up ridiculous words.
If he does something fantastic - it's "Rantastic"
If he's involved in something that goes wrong - it's a "rantastrophe" -
-
unicorn
shovel
snake
band aide
Sleeping beauty
guitar in my son's lingo is dichar. My husband thought we were teaching bad words. -
Oh, guitar here is batar (Said the same way, though)
I think it's hysterical what kids say

bakinsoup-bathing suit
bullnozer-bulldozer
My daughter has a friend named Wesley. She used to call him Weswey. I would make her repeat it several times because I loved hearing it.
My son didn't have many funny words b/c even though he starting talking early, it's like he started talking like a grownup almost immediately. It was amazing.-
My daughter also very rarely mispronounced anything--she was talking in complex sentences at 15 months. She couldn't get "yellow", though--she said "welyow" for at least a year, and I loved it...was very careful never to correct her, even subtly.
-
My oldest was saying "excavator" by the time he was 2. My youngest is two and all he can say is yes,no,hug and mine. But, he is almost potty trained and he can climb a chain-link fence like a teenager.
Weird -
One thing my son had a hard time with for a little while was y's. He made them L's. Lellow, I love lou, etc.
-
Dlowe, my daughter wasn't as verbally precocious as my son but is more skilled at physical tasks than my son. She is almost 2 years older than he, but she taught him how to button his shirt.
-
correction, she is amost 2 years younger...
-
-
My two year old actually created his own language.
hummmmm = truck
humm = car
nanananana = motorcycle
rrrrrrr = dinosaur
sssss = snake
