The thing that annoys me is the T being used instead of ED for past tense. Such as Kilt instead of Killed.

Fried eggs with runny yolks so you dip your toast into the egg yolk. Dippy eggs.

I'm hungry.

I'd like some over easy right now! Too lazy to go make it at the moment. Darn shame I can't afford a chef!

Thank you CortlandGirl79! That's too funny, Ferrarisnowday!!

Sure, dippy eggs. I also didn't know that slippy wasn't a real word until I was in my 20s.
My sister saw a picture of us together not long ago when we were very much younger and very much thinner and said, "we both look like we need a hoagie."
Crick is one of my favorite words--it takes me right back to my grandmother's farm (in Home, PA).

"pap"
One of my coworkers calls her grandfather her "grampap". She also says "buggy" and "I can ride you over there."
