Talking of marmalade ... when I was little and knew the word for having a good idea was 'a brain wave' I imagined that inside our skulls was like said citrus preserve and the waves were the bits of peel that did a little wriggle and waved to each other.

My middle daughter misheard 'pigeons' as 'pims'. They were (and are still) known as 'Pims' in the family.When I was very young I named my nan's snake shaped draft excluder 'soppy ippy'. They were from then on known as soppy ippies in our house. Not having remembered naming it that I genuinely thought that was the proper name for them until I was in secondary school.
