Did any of you have special words for particular things when you were kids?
Sometimes it's due to the word being rather difficult for childish lips to get round - my no 1 son used to call Mercedez Benz cars 'Ladies Benz'
Or it might be a made up word which has connections to the thing being named - I used to call lemonade 'Sissy Beer', because of the 'ssss' sound the bottle would make when it was opened.
But others are more mysterious - I used to call nuns 'Hut Nannas'
Any other interesting examples?
