I like making up words.  I got that from the jokes.  Many of the words they made up for things have become family colloquialisms.  Here is a short list of some of our baby words still in use today along with their plain English definitions:

lorgit               creamy, cultured bacteria dairy food
livvy room     main gathering area of the home 
hee Hiles       ladies dress shoes 
cow milk       cow lick 
ambliance     emergency vehicle
pasketti          Italian dish

This is but a smattering of the words we have enjoyed using over and over in our family.  Perhaps my favourite made from scratch word was invented by Professor Calculus (not his real name).  The Professor, at the age of two, added "whobody" to the family of  -body words; anybody, somebody, nobody, everybody.  Whobody was a convenient word, and, to this day, I think it really deserves a place in the English language.

"Whobody will answer the door?"
"Whobody will get me a drink of water?"
"Whobody knows where mama is?"

Very handy, don't you think?  I have not yet figured out how to have a new word adopted in to the language.  Computer people are doing it all the time, and I don't even think they ask permission. They even use perfectly good and sensible words to mean completely different things. Was there a nomination and vote?  Mouse, floppy disk, blog, widget...there are dozens more.

Whobody is in charge of the language anyway? Where do I cast my vote? 

I only want what's coming to me.  I only want my fair share.
