What are Your Favorite Momfinitions?

Every mom has their own set of momfinitions. What are momfinitions you ask? It is new language that is set by parents instead of using Webster’s dictionary to dervive common words. This post is inspired by ParentsConnect and Twittermoms as a fun way to get our minds thinking of how we speak our own language. Here are 5 that I use almost everyday:

PeePi [pee-pie] noun: A nickname given to children. It is also used while playing peekaboo as the word spoken after hiding a face.

It’s funny that my daughter even knows what I mean with this word. Our conversations usually go, “Good morning, PeePi as she replies, Good morning, Mama.”

Stinkydinky [stinkee-dinkee] adjective: How to describe the smell of a dirty diaper.

This hardly needs any explaining, but as I am wiping my children’s booties, I usually say, “You are so stinkydinky! bleck!”

Swear to Pete [swear-to-peete] noun: Words used when you do not want to use profanity.

Who is Pete and why do we swear to him? I find myself using this all of the time as my child does something that I just can’t believe. It usually goes something like this, “I Swear to Pete, child. How did you do that?”

Rumpy Dump [rum-pee-dump] noun: What is used to describe little baby booties.

“Girl, you better get your rumpy dump down here right now!”

Purdy Dirl [prrr-dee-durl] noun: Speaking in baby language, this is the equivalent of saying ‘Pretty Girl.’ Not sure why we can’t talk normally to our children and instead use the baby tone to a 2 year old even.

I always tell my daughter she is the prettiest girl, but for some reason I never am quite able to say the actual words. Instead it sounds like this, “You are such a Purdy Dirl. You are going to break hearts one day.” (Think this is the southern influence in me?)
