3. Hen fruit -- copied from a Donald Duck cartoon.

Never thought about the fact that anthropomorphic ducks were eating eggs, fried chicken, roast turkey. And Gyro Gearloose was supposed to be a chicken !



My dad's family passed down the term "rooster bullets".

My daughter has had a regenerating flock for eggs for over 10 years, and they are opportunistic little dinosaurs. But they are cute lol

7. Not a nickname...

But a funny thing.

When she was five, my granddaughter decided to start “Beef Jerky Club”. Only people who love beef jerky can join. They now have about fifteen members. When a member gets a new jerky, they call for a meeting. Sadly, I am not a member, because I don’t love beef jerky.

I do get to go to some meetings though (hub’s is a founding member), and they had one Sunday. My husband had gone to Buc-ees in Texas, and come back with 5 new jerkys. So, they cut the jerky into little pieces, taste-test, and then share their reviews for each.

I am over in the corner, laughing.

She called it "oppage." Mom still does it--she likes nothing more than embarrassing her kids with stuff they did as babies.

yady yocks (Lady Locks) I also taught my younger brother how say that and other words. We had yiddy of the bowdy growing in the shady parts of the yard (Lily of the Valley) I bet I was so cute! lol

My brother called spare ribs bones.

29. We called raisin bread, which I loved,

"bug bread".

My grandfather, just to startle the waitress with a little adult humor would point to the hors d'oeuvres on the menu and say he wanted the "whore's ovaries". That usually got him kicked under the table by my grandmother.
