    Have yet to hear ratchet. Is it like "ratchet up"? Like a wrench? Or nurse ratchet? Like coo coos nest? Do kids read anymore? How about getting high and reading? Is that like, uncool? Sorry- tangent...

    Back when hip-hop was cool I found that you could simply add the word 'yo' to the beginning and end of any sentence and kinda sound legit.

    Yo, I finished those TPS reports and they're on your desk for review yo. Word.

    Thing 1 turned three a few months back. She constantly says "amn't."

    "Hey Thing, are you going to eat all your carrots?"

    "I amn't."

    It's a useful enough contraction so I use it at work now.

    Kid in my neighborhood growing up coined the word "gription." It's like "traction" only more descriptive.

    Basically means trashy. "Basic" is another one I like.

    I've got one that uses willn't as his way of saying will not or won't.

    I have twins and they sort of made up their own language growing up. They're teenagers now and I still catch them using "higher" as a verb from time to time - "Can you higher the window? It's too windy back here!"

    Worked with an old timer who called his ex "old ratchet ass". I always got a laugh out of it, till I got married.

    Gems from my 5 year old nephew. He uses the word "hard" all the time.

    Two nights ago:

    "I'm going to eat this pizza so hard."

    "Where's the train set? I'm going to play with it so hard tonight."

    Yo tip,
    a horrific mispronunciation of "wretched"
    as in "Nasty, she's so ratchet" from the same demographic as "axed a question"

    Our kids have found more dignified replacements for "ain't."

    Boyzo. Well, actually I made that up to describe my two youngest children. When they are in close proximity they become half clown, half boy. Of course from there they become all clown.

    I still have @ least 2 "Gription" T-shirts. This was an attempt @ paddle wax many years ago. Not by me.

    My 5 y.o. is fond of "yestermorning". As in, "Today I'm having cereal for breakfast but yestermorning I had pancakes."

    When my kid was 3 he used to sit with me and watch me frame the second story. One day I found him sitting in the back yard with a chunk of 2x4, some 16d nails, and a hammer, pounding the nails and saying "Oh, shit, Oh, shit." as he hammered. Ever since that day "Oh, shit" has been one of my favorite expressions, but I can't figure out where he learned it.

    Child: Matt-me
    Parent: Are you sure? Isn't it Matthew?
    Child: Yes it is! Matt-me.
