The way kids speakChildren say the funniest things often with great deliberation. Finding out what they mean is a charming hobby most often pursued by parents, relatives and teachers. | Guidelines to gobbledeegook Callers to Jonathan Cowap's programme on BBC Radio York have been talking about the words and phrases their children dream up..... Here's a selection...From the simple spoonerism and malapropism - to the highly inventive "Fowchay". Personal favourite: Father Christmas and his radiators Fornclakes | Cornflakes | Dugada | Guitar | Mazageens | Magazines | Fowchay | Water | Trollypector | Helicopter | Hobaloo | Horrible | Num-nums | Slippers | Binkulars | Binoculars | Fuppers | Wellington boots | Electric City | Electricity | Swimney Cheap | Chimney Sweep | Caterpiltar | Catapult | Mow Lawner | Lawn Mower | Skewskicer | Screwdriver | Stickyfoot | Certificate | Jammy duffnuts | Jammy doughnuts | Cacavan | Caravan | Nockasulls | Binoculars | Fliptop commuter | Laptop computer |
..and then, of course, there's the perfectly lucid: Bastions on their boswans = brassieres on their bosoms
