St. Paddy's Day Fun Monday. Also known as how weird do you talk?

(My entry is below this rig-a-ma-roll.)

Hidey ho folks! I'm hosting Fun Monday for St. Paddy's day. I have to admit I blatantly stole this idea from Sandy (the first challenge). Your challenge(s), should you choose to accept (choose one or both):

1.) I don't know about you, but my family is great at creating strange words that only we know the meaning. Some were created when the kids were first learning to talk, others came about when our tongues were twisted and the word came out funny. Either way, the words stuck and we still use them in our daily conversations. What created words does your family use?! Please share the story behind the word if you remember. If you don't have a made up word then tell us about the unspoken way you communicate with someone. Do you and your significant other have a look that means "This party is boring, lets split" or do you have a look that your kids know means their butt is in serious trouble? Please share!! And a picture of the look would be very entertaining!

OR/AND

2.) In honor of St. Paddy's Day, please share your worst green beer story!

Thanks for playing!!! Smootches!

1. Well, in my household we have a whole slew of interesting words/phrases that we use that are mostly derived from Aaron mispronouncing things as he was learning to talk. The words have stuck. Even my office mates use them. It's turned into Aaron-ease. Other words came randomly.

a.) Hoof-whapped: To be swiped out for my favorite 4 letter word that starts with "f". It works well too. "You are so hoof-whapped." "That is so hoof-whapping impossible." (And no, this is not an Aaron word.)

b.) Gigusting: Disgusting, but saying gigusting is way more fun. An Aaron word.

c.) Dic-tar: Guitar. Again, much more entertaining to say dic-tar. In fact my whole office only says dic-tar now.

2. Now, I am going to be honest here and say that I have NEVER had green beer. I know, it's terrible. BUT I do have a terrible tequila story. I was 20, it was New Year's Eve. I was dating an older dude and thought I was being cool when I asked for him to pick me up some tequila for the party we were going to. I proceeded to drink the whole fifth. Never in my life have I been so sick. I don't remember much, but at one point when I sat on the kitchen floor a bunch of guys thought I had passed out and tried to pick me up and move me to a better place than the floor. I proceeded to scream "NO LEVITATION, NO LEVITATION!" Even drunker than a skunk I was still being brilliant.

Wow, that was kind of embarrassing. I hope your drunk St. Paddy's day stories are worse than mine.

[Junebug]

Could you add me to your list for this Fun Monday. My post is up. Thank you. I didn't tell of my puking first time drunk either. It wasn't green beer. It was strawberry Boone's Farm wine. God, it was sickening. They kept encouraging me to drink it and I obliged. I was lucky my husband to be was there to take care of me and take me home. I don't think it turned him on. Funny, to this day we never have spoken of the incident! :D I didn't start dating him until a year or so later.

[Gattina]

I didn't even know about a green beer, lol ! We don't celebrate St. Patricks in Belgium it's only celebrated in Ireland. Stories like your Tequila story happened to me too, lol ! Only with red wine !

[Dallas]

Am I too late to sign up? I've posted my entry for the crazy family words. Thanks!

[Ann]

Thanks for hosting. I've a similar sort of tequila story. Uck.

[Hootin' Anni]

I love gigusting!! [the spell check is going wild on my computer so far...this week's a hoot!!!]

[Sayre]

GIgsusting and Dictar are wonderful words. Must add to my own lexicon!

[SwampAngel65]

Hoof whapped, huh? Interesting! But "Hoof Whapped YOU!!!" doesn't sound quite the same ;)

Thanks for hosting. We all appreciate it muchly!

Now have some green brew and enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!!

[jill]

I AM SO LATE! can you add me please?

[Robin (the pensieve one)]

Funny comment by SwampAngel :).

And your words? They are all FUN to say (I tried 'em, out loud). I thought I'd have more to add for my post, but when it got down to it, while I make up words all the time, my family does so only once in a while.

Kid words are the BEST!

(thanks for hosting!!)
