Yeah, Calah is wondering what you call them. She doesn't like the word "breasts". Yeah, that's not my favorite word to use for them either. In my house, they're called "boobies". Perhaps my house is made up of 12 year old boys.
We've taught our kids the other correct anatomical words: vagina, penis. I don't know what happened to "breasts" though. Maybe it's just because hearing your 2 year old say "boobies" is just so damn funny.
Cracked.com (adult humor and words!) has two articles on "Words that Need to be Banned from the English Language" (here and here). You know what word I don't like? Phlegm. Ugh. What a yucky word, and the images it brings up. Ugh.
So, what word do you hate?
i hate the Spanish word for butt: nalgas. That has to be THE UGLIEST word to ever roll off the lips of mankind...
ReplyDeleteMy daughters (married) hate the word "moist". I, of course, being the mature mother, use it as often as possible.
ReplyDeleteI love the Spanish word for garbage. Basura. It's my favorite word of all time an just rolls of the tongue so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI dislike immensely the word "hate"
