Also restaurants that don’t have possessive names get possessive names, and restaurants that do have possessive names lose the apostrophe-S. So it’s Subway’s, but *The* Denny. It’s a joke with @EileenShyler, who adds the apostrophe-S to many places that don’t have it #houseslang
@GailSimone Parmesan cheese is "shakey cheese," even if it's not the powdered stuff that comes in a can/jar.
Asparagus is "spare guts" -or- "spare a goose."
The TV remote is "the buttons."

#houseslang "mining bitcoin": computer is excessively warm and you don't know why
@toorsdenote @phryxl ...and they seemed this hilarious and adopted "stuuuuuuck" as #houseslang for "I am in a situation I do not want to be in"
#houseslang fat pancakes: Normal pancakes, as opposed to Adam's more crepe-like family recipe. The thin ones are called German pancakes, but I don't think they're what anyone else calls German pancakes.
#houseslang The Eye of Sauron: the electric wine opener Adam's mother gave us. Has a round red light on top; not the most reassuring thing to see in a dark room. (I forgot this one because it died a while ago.)
#houseslang pointing at one's own head (or on irc, "/me <-"), means "im owned"
#houseslang printergeist: whatever it is that makes the printer make noise when nobody's trying to print. No printing, just noise.
@GailSimone Less picturesque, another roommate and I worked at the same job where a lot of communication happened over walkies. Because it was terribly indiscreet to say over walkie that someone was in the bathroom, that became "the basement", and it stuck even at home. #HouseSlang
@GailSimone A roommate and I always called danishes "Roses of the Prophet Mohammed", yes every time, as a result of a Daily Show segment informing us of the backlash against a disrespectful Danish caroonist... but we just thought it was too beautiful, and had to use it. #HouseSlang
Like fifteen years ago one of my Kindergarteners strode in one morning, threw down his backpack, pointed to his freshly buzzed head and said “Guess where I got THIS? The haircut store!”
Then, now, and forever: The Haircut Store.

The question of the day is...
...what odd terminology do the people in your house use for everyday things and/or actions?
Is spaghetti ‘basghetti,’ even though you are all adults? Is a fart a ‘toot?’ Is broccoli known as ‘trees?’
What have you renamed?

@GailSimone when my oldest kiddo was a toddler he referred to a porta-potty as an “uh-oh house” and that stuck ever since #HouseSlang
You people would not BELIEVE the #HouseSlang @ReenaMcCarty and I share. It is approaching a different language at this point.

@GailSimone #HouseSlang Dollar General is called “the Deej”
Sghetti of course. Sandwiches are sammies, pancakes are pannycakes, pajamas are jammies.
Apple Pay/CashApp/PayPal etc I call “future money” and most people roll with it.
@GailSimone Patoot is butt in my house, and we call those random pains you get out of the blue cyanide fairies #HouseSlang
@GailSimone The phrase "the plot didn't really hold together" is code for 'I fell asleep during the movie'. Started after my mom said this is earnest, not realizing she had fallen asleep

@GailSimone Bread is "Toast but don't toast it" because when I was very little I wanted bread for breakfast but forgot the word. Mom still teases me 30+yrs later
Building/Construction of projects is Doozering because Fraggle Rock
#HouseSlang
Growing up, flannel/comfortable lounging/sleep pants were referred to as "comfy guy pants." Often shortened to "comfy guys," as in, "Let me throw on my comfy guys before we start the movie."
