Even though I still have a pile of clean clothes to put away and I haven’t everything on my to-do list done…I still feel productive and happy. I spent the evening by myself, and away from my computer (except for the few minutes I am taking to write this).
I’ll explain the “whoosh” thing now. Every family has their own made-up words and funny stories…well, for us it means to clean in a frenetic and somewhat haphazard way. Used in a sentence:
“I whooshed the house so that when people came over it was pretty clean. I only had 15 minutes to do it!”
Does your family have made-up words or phrases that only make sense to you? Share!
oh, a ton.
patifflers are potatoes
and cranstons are craisens
ickets were tickets for as long as i can remember
and the list goes on.
Umm…we have a dictionary in my family. Though I’m pretty sure that defining them here would still make no sense.
Much of our dictionary concerns itself with the manner in which my mother pronounces specific words.
BRAK-fust (breakfast)
OYS-cher (oyster)
CHOOSE-dee (Tuesday)
ARN (iron)
Cohen (coin)
Other dictionary entries are mostly euphemisms. Probably not-so-appropriate for this venue.
The list goes on. Love ya, Mom!
Oh, and I forgot one of my favorites: my name goes from one syllable to three:
JOE-WER-JUH.
