Hi friends,
At school today, I was "smoochin' on" someone I shouldn't have, someone I will call "F." Mommy knows his Mom and Dad, and does not approve of me kissing vegetarians.
Because of her disapproval, I've decided to go public about some weird words used in our household. All but one is Mommy's fault; she spends too much time reading nineteenth-century literature and thus has no 21st century vocabulary.
Word / Translation
Demolisher/ Bulldozer
Dump Truck/ Garbage Truck (takes stuff to dump)
typer/ typewriter
weigher/ scales
cutter/ scissors
gullet (Daddy's word)/ belly (sounds cooler than stomach, like a full gut)
musician/ composer (19th c word for it)
country/ continent, nation, state, land (19th c word)
"Hi" (Lola's word)/ parrot (if accompanied by correct twisting hand gesture
Are you freaked out yet, fair reader?--Love, LK
