I usually don't like to say '1x1 lego bricks' so i call them 'brixels'. It is much easier. I also give permission for others to use this

I forgot the word for denim shorts, and called them 'jeansy shorts'.... for 3 years of my life.

Also, I called ageism 'age racist' while my friend was teasing me about being the youngest in the friend grp.

The thing for the thing with the (draws an oblong rectangle with my hands) thing.

Me: f**k off... sorry... I'm trying.. you know... the thing for the thing. Circle.

Husband: the thing for the rectangle circle.... oooooh"

Grabbed me the hdmi cable which was what I wanted. He's gotten very adept at understanding the uniquely informative descriptions my PTSD addled brain comes up with.

There was this one PE game we used to play (it was like capture the flag with laundry baskets) but no one could remember the name so we all just called it “the weird game with the crates”

"Dinglehopper." Apparently it comes from The Little Mermaid. I often use it as pejorative for people who cut me off on traffic, for example.

“Gerschtimpt” is a joking curse word, it’s funny because it’s not actually bad, but whenever Grandpa says it my cousins and I would pretend to be all outraged and horrified.

Similarly, “Schtimpter” is the little bit of food left over that’s not quite a serving, ex. “Who wants the rice schtimpter?”

Mine is not goofy. I usually just say that f*ckin thing. For some reason I love profanity. Actually any "unacceptable" word works in a pinch.

Except for people who are not confirmed annoyances. Then its usually nothing but Dude all the way.
