I don't have a single one, but my girlfriend has many. I'm not sure why that is.

Is there some fundamental difference in family dynamics that gives rise to such words? The closest I come is a few choice phrases of my fathers that I picked up over the years but wouldn't repeat in a public place. My girlfriend, on the other hand, has terms for all sorts of things. Eating food can be called snaffling. Wal-Mart is Squalor-Mart. Et cetera. Her family has more of a British background than mine. Would that have something to do with it? I don't know. Maybe some people just like to make up words, and when they have kids, their kids pick them up. Hell, if I became a parent I'd probably make up all kinds of words too.

Do you have any "family" words that you use in every day life?

Lots of quotes actually. From movies and songs, and things people have said in the past.
