\"gibberish\"<\/a>True to form (and genetics), our lads coin a lot of new words and phrases while going about their daily business. Here’s a little sample of what they’re talking about these days:<\/p>\n

Side Managers:<\/strong>\u00a0noun. Each guy chooses a side of the shopping cart to hang off of, while (of course) reaching out and touching EVERYTHING in our path as we wind through the aisles.<\/p>\n

Frescals<\/strong>: noun. Somewhat indeterminate. Applied to lots of items at the grocery store, and pronounced with super-zesty rolled R’s, while being the most interesting side managers in the world. \u00a0“Frrrrescals! You’re a frrrrescal! That’s a frrrescal!”<\/p>\n

Scalliptions<\/strong>: noun. Also indeterminate. Applied to many items, people, behaviors, and actions. “These scalliptions are making me thirsty! Watch out, I’ve got a scalliption reserved for you!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Itsy-bitsy-bitey-bo<\/strong>: phrase. Finny’s re-styling of some of the lyrics from Lorde’s “Royals” song. I believe the real lyrics are “it don’t run in our blood.”<\/p>\n

Hom noms<\/strong>: noun. Crackers or cookies. Onomatopoetic – this is the sound a kid makes while eating delicious snack food.<\/p>\n

Banana butts<\/strong>: noun. Describes the very tip at the bottom of the banana which sometimes has a grayish\/black spot inside. These remain uneaten by Nacks under the age of 6.<\/p>\n

Onesies, Flatties, Granules<\/strong>: nouns. Descriptive names of various small Legos. Onesies are the cubic Legos with one raised bump. Flatties are the ones with no bumps that are used to finish off a surface smoothly. Granules are the zillions of small, round Onesies that populate my carpet.<\/p>\n

Safetying-off<\/strong>: verb. Erecting a barrier to prevent someone from getting too close to a dangerous area. The boys like to use yarn, traffic cones, and cardboard blocks to “safety off” suspected danger zones in the backyard, basement, or living room.<\/p>\n

Standpoles<\/strong>: noun. the vertical piers that support bridges. \u00a0Mom-o, my bridge is going to collapse because I can’t find a tall enough standpole!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
