This post gave me a chuckle. My MIL (whose first language is not english) used to say to the children = "Take your coat on" For some reason I loved that phrase.

My cousin and her college friends started saying "jesus hell" and it has totally taken over in our family vernacular.

I used to say "my foots dizzy" when I meant that it was asleep/had pins and needles.

And I just learned that I said "the tooth dude" and not the tooth fairy when I was little because I knew it was my dad. Hah, hilarious.

Nice post! I just wrote an entry similar to this. http://www.ruthieounaegbu.com/aaot/wordage/ Made up words are cool. I use them all the time and just go on like people should know them.

Somewhere along the line, my brother and I came up with the phrase, "The rain is making ballerinas!" Which means, it's raining so hard that the droplets are bouncing back up in a splash. If you look next time it's raining, you can see that the splash coming back up looks kind of like a ballerina in a tutu.

Annalie used to say, "Toku!" for thank you when she was a baby, and we still say that sometimes.

I don't know if this is weird or not, but I grew up saying "put up the laundry," as in, "Oh, I need to put up the laundry." My sister's ex-husband said we were all INSANE for saying that. He HATED it and tried really hard to train us all out of it.
