So when you're married to someone whose first language isn't English, you get a wealth of giggles from the sheer crap that comes out of their mouth when they desperately grasp at straws for an unknown vocabulary word, or accidentally graft 2 completely random words top-to-tail for a brand new concept all together. I would have thought all these slips of the tounge would've been filtered out of H's brain after 5 years of living with me (as my grammar is so pristine and eloquent... NOT!!!), but he still continues to make me piss myself on occaision. He launched this new one recently which might just be my favorite so far:
Trinkle: (v.) a small stream of running liquid; to dribble; ex: "BABY! You just left the kitchen tap open and walked away, letting it trinkle away for over an hour!!!"
other interesting ones that I'm lobbying for inclusion into Oxford:
Frumble: (v.) to awkwardly handle something that gradually disintegrates into small morsels, such as dry bread; (n.) small morsels; ex. 1: "BABY!!! I just wiped off the counter and now you cut the bread without a cutting board and let it frumble all over the place!!!" ex.2: "BABY!!!!!!! What did I tell you about these bread frumbles all over the place!!!!"
Waddle: (v.) to haphazardly handle something so that its general shape is compromised; ex: "AGH!!! Baby I spent 10 minutes folding those stacks of clothes, and then you just grab your stack and just waddle it up into the shelves!!"
It's funny how fits of frustration bastardizes our vocabulary. I just tend to cuss. He makes up words. Go figure! :-)
