spicy juice

Toddler term for soda. Especially helpful for explaining to toddlers what soda is when the only drinks they've ever had are milk, water, and juice. Once used, it tends to stick.

Mom: Do you want some spicy juice, Zelda?
Zelda: Uh-huh. Not toooo spicy.

twidgie

Very small. Unusually small. Like when your dad cuts a regular piece of bacon into four small pieces, and tries to convince you that you're getting more because you've got four "twidgie bacons" on your plate instead of only one piece, and because you're too young to know the difference, you think he must be right.

Zelda: This piece of bacon is twidgie.
Wilma: Yep. But I like twidgie bacons.

torts adorbs

When a tween tries to sound more mature than they are by imitating lame and dated teen slang, but pronounce "totes adorbs" all wrong. Like that 10-year-old at the petting zoo last week who said to her equally pretentious friend, "Oh, look... the piglets! They're so torts adorbs." It kills brain cells just to hear it.

MacKennagh: "Your Swfitie bracelets are torts adorbs!"
KayLeigh: "Nuh-uh, it's your french tips with heart-shaped glitter that's torts adorbs!"

sticky fruit

Toddler name for fruit leather. And really, who can blame them? "Fruit leather" doesn't sound appetizing at all. Nobody wants to eat leather, even if it's fruit-flavored

Dad: Want some sticky fruit in your play-lunch today, Wilma?
Wilma: Uh-huh.
Dad: I'll give you two, so you can share one with Archie.

squeadle

A type of dog (especially of the "doodle" variety) whose utter adorbs-ness makes one squeal spontaneously upon sight. First coined ca. 2015 in London's Kensington Gardens--home to one of the most concentrated populations of squeadles in OECD countries. Note: although all dogs might be technically "good boys" or "good girls," not all dogs are squeadles. Certain breeds that are typically small, nippy, and obnoxious are automatically disqualified from this designation due to the overt lack of adorableness. "Squeadle" can be enhanced with intensifiers such as "Pro" and, in exceptional cases, "Pro Plus" (the highest level of canine cuteness). In recent usage, an actual squeal is often replaced or combined with a simple utterance of the word "squeadle," delivered with a deadpan matter-of-factness that underscores the undeniable verity of the statement.

Wilma: "Squeadle."
Zelda: "Where?"
Wilma: "Over there, in the park."
Zelda: "The Chihuahua?"
Wilma: "No! Chihuahuas aren't squeadles!"
Zelda: "The Pomeranian?"
Wilma: "Nope"
Zelda: "Ohhh... the Wheatedoodle. Total squeadle!"
Wilma: "Squeadle Pro Plus!"
Together: "Eeeeeee..."
