I called my kids "piesangskilletjies" when they were small, but that was  
just being silly. After a couple of years it started sounding a bit weird,  
so I stopped calling them that.

My middle son uses "ni how" "o-hi-o" "sionara" and "kinichiwa", Chinese  
and Japanese - he's into Shinobi history.

Many times we play with words and make up things on the fly, but nothing  
really sticks. :)
