Ever notice how motherhood inspires a whole new language? Perhaps you recognize a few of these new parenting terms that haven’t quite made it into Webster’s.
ParentsConnect and Twittermoms are getting together for a Momfinitions contest! We all know parenting has its own language…
Here are some of my own Momfinitions:
Buttboobatoot-NOUN [but-BOOB-a-toot]: A developmental stage, around ages 5-8 years, in which a child (usually male) feels it necessary to discuss breasts (boobs), butts (behinds) and toots (flatulance). Also see Buttboobafart: Synonym. “Many children, during the developmental stage of buttboobatoot, can create frustration for parents, but this stage will begin subside after age 8- if you’re lucky.”
Jeckyllhydeability- NOUN [jeckyll-AND-hyde-ability]: Ones capability of turning from total angel to evil moster within the same 5 minute period. “Alexander continued to display jeckyllhydeability when he squeezed his sisters arm until the skin broke, took a second, and then proceeded to happily help make hot dogs for dinner.”
Dramafall – NOUN [drama-FALL]: 1. When a child dramatically colapses to the floor in order to get his or her parent’s attention. 2. The tears of manipulation that excrete from a child’s eyes when there is no real underlying anger or sadness.
Confiscashit – NOUN [confis-KAY-shit]: A mother’s act of taking something away from a child (a toy, a trip, etc) and then wishing more than anything that she hadn’t. “Mary used confiscashit in order to teach her son a lesson in cleaning up after himself (though the lesson was hers to be learned!)
Fictionary – (NOUN) [fik-SHIN-ary]: A resource written by a group of 4 year old children which is compiled of an abundance of eronius information, false word definitions, tall tales, and nonsense. “Eloise insisted that ‘poopsqueek’ was in the fictionary.”
