Gang-ga. Not 100% clear what this means, but I know it's used either directly before or during the sort of game that'll ends in tears.

Most favoured insult of the moment (among the adults of the family): shitehawk.

Just heard 'grobbling about' used by Wilko Johnson on BBC Radio 6 Music. I thought it was just a word we'd made up! First tweeted it 486 days ago.

3yo, of the cat: “She’s just strigging. That’s a word that means lying down and licking her paws.”

Lauren Gawne familywords hotty: something of poor quality, especially in reference to gifts. Eg "did you get any hotties for Christmas".

Thunderbang: the noise one hears during a thunderstorm while sheltering from the thunderrain.

@AnnieCec I like the sound of imprised. What does it mean?

Other half greatly amused by the use of ‘ginormous’ on Newsnight.

Very keen on ‘imprised’ for being at once impressed and surprised, courtesy of @AnnieCec. (And her 3yo who coined it.)

@AnnieCec after so much use of ‘medal’ as a verb during the Olympics, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ‘exampling’ widely taken up too.

@AnnieCec Seems an awful lot of these words stem from the kids don't they? Same with ours too.

Juicebo: n., strawberry.

@AnnieCec I've heard it used like 'can I have a boz of that?'

familywords 'spangled' for drunk from mother's partner. Anyone heard that before?

@Chippedteapot hurt his bownuts? Sounds painful! Were these two calamities connected?

I reckon lobstrominous must be a negative adjective. Just sounds more cromulant when used that way.

Arghen-oogen: for those times when mere ‘Argh!’ just won’t do, no matter how many As you throw in there. (Still not 100% on the spelling.)

Cupboard-snack (n). Treat eaten behind an open cupboard door (ideally full height) in order to conceal its existence from young children.
