Momfinitions

Ever notice how parenthood inspires a whole new language? We call these words Momfinitions. Perhaps you recognize a few of these new parenting terms that haven’t quite made it into Webster’s—yet. Read some of our Momfinitions, and after you’ve had a hearty chuckle, feel free to submit your own Momfinitions in the comments below!

So the post above was sent to me by my friend Lori B and it  had me laughing so hard- because no matter what sort of parent you are, every one of us has words we use that we can all relate to. It’s one of those great equalizers of parents, something we all have in common. I would prefer to call these “Parentfinitions” instead of their word “Momfinitions” because now-a-days you would probably hear both Moms and Dads uttering these phrases!

Lori shared a few of her Parentfinitions:

desswantish – I’m not hungry for my actual dinner, just gimme dessert because I NEEED it.

Poofbuggles – it’s the holiday for stuffed animals that is every day and the reason why THEY don’t have to go to school.

Gruffpumbles -it’s an expletive!??! which is used for all the words they should NOT say.

A few of these heard around my house:

the phantom – means one of the kids went potty and didn’t flush. “The phantom struck again”.

Hannahtude –   Watch out,  Hannah is in a crabby mood and giving us attitude.

I am sure you all have some around your house that you utter or even remember your ‘rents uttering on your behalf!

Share them with me!
