Made up words within my family:
Beebles - any dried catfood, also used to describe boring cereal
Dither - not the dictionary definition, but an all over body shiver of disgust - "Those caterpillar pictures gave me the dithers"
Gollop - to drink in large swallows - "Stop golloping, you'll make yourself sick!"
Gullet (also gulluted, gulleting) - replaces "fillet" (fish)
Lurkey - left over turkey, also Licken and Larky Bread (I used to eat garlic bread for breakfast when I was a pizza waitress)
Mashipots - mashed potatoes
Sleepy-bo - the feeling of utter exhaustion that overcomes small children when they are literally falling asleep where they are
Spiggits - biscuits (cookies)
Obviously these are childhood words, but are still used without embarrassment.
