we always play the "punchbuggy game" (see a VW Beetle, hit someone) and she used to get confused with the Chrystler PT Cruiser i guess thinking it was a bug.... so those became "peacocks"... not sure why.
My daughter and I played that game for a while, but we called it "slug bug" and "cruiser bruiser." We didn't sock one another that hard, though.

Hahah sometimes we refer to poop as "Brody." Like the movie "Are We There Yet," we also refer to jewelry and studded anything as "Blingage." also, when we say that something is delicious, we say it's "Delichu." like in the hamtaro game. Oh and when we say that someone went both number 1 and 2, we call that "going both barrels." LOL

Strawberries. It means "I've reached my limit. Stop bugging me before l blow."

As all children occassionally do, my kids would push the limits and I'd go crazy and flip out. One day, I said that I didn't like getting upset, didn't like being pushed to the point of yelling, and we needed a way for them to realize that when I say "enough" I mean "enough." My daughter decided the word should be "strawberries." Worked perfectly. Anytime I said "strawberries" they would stop annoying me. Then one day, I was trying to talk to my son about something and he said "strawberries" to me. Apparently, he had reached his limit with the lecture and felt he was about to get upset. So, strawberries goes both ways in our household. I said strawberries just last week. It has been years since I said it. And I discovered that we still respect strawberries in my household even after all these years.

We have a few of these, mostly inspired by funny things we've seen/heard, or just said spontaneously and they stuck.

Chop the fruit!= Hurry up (inspired by an Annoying Orange video)

Furnichair=furniture, from when they were younger

Yo stoopid=(said with exaggerated southern accent whenever something something stupid is done.)

Case closed! - when something is final.

Funniest one - when we had a scorpion in the house recently my dd said, 'I'm tired of these mother$#()@ing scorpions in this mother$^*#ing house!' (Snakes on a Plane movie). I had to turn away so she wouldn't
see me laughing. Oh and then I scolded her about the language. Now we'll say a clean version of this whenever an annoying bug/insect comes along.

One time it was hillarious.

I was standing in the middle of a grocery store isle and saying in a measuredly calm but shaky voice, "You're not respecting my strawberries."

People passing by must have thought I was crazy.

Our son had speech problems and couldn name cereals other than shapes. So we all call cereal, "Cereal of Squares", (Toast Crunch), "Cereal of Holes", (cheerios), "Cereal of Rocks" (frutie pepples) etc.

Although my son can now say all of the appropriate titles, we still call all our cereals like that and any news ones, we quickly come up with a new moniker - they all start with "Cereal of"
