One of my sons asked me this morning if Santa Claus hibernates. I replied, "No." Was actually thinking, "Santa would LOVE to hibernate! Santa wishes to be hibernating right now."
Kids say the darndest things, don't they? Thanks to my oldest son, whenever we see a semi-truck that's not hauling a trailer, we all shout, "There's a naked truck!" We don't go to McD's and order hamburgers--- we order "hangaburgers." We don't eat granola bars in my house. Nope. They're "gorilla bars."
Yes. My family is revamping the English language, one word at a time.
Snortker: Snort + Snicker
Snarkastic: Snarky + Sarcastic
'Tudiness: Attitude + Any Word You Can Stick the '-ness' Suffix Upon. Ex: rotteness, sweetness, restlessness... Or, it can mean "an excess of attitude". Example of "'Tuditness."
So, do any of you have any descriptive words to share?
C'mon. I need a good giggle today.

Sma-mellows. Ds couldn't say marshmallows, so now they're sma-mellows.
Frou-frou = flavored coffee creamer.
Can't think of any others right now. Partly because they're so ingrained in the family vocabulary that I don't even consider them odd anymore.
Umm. . . I'm totally drawing a blank on any words to add. But maybe it's like sela said, I use them so much they don't seem odd.

we have fleecylucys which are fleece jackets.
My middle daughter has a language disorder so most of our words come from her, like cloakhanger instead of coathanger
