I usually don't like to say '1x1 lego bricks' so i call them 'brixels'. It is much easier. I also give permission for others to use this

The thing for the thing with the (draws an oblong rectangle with my hands) thing. My husband: hun, use your words... Me: f**k off... sorry... I'm trying.. you know... the thing for the thing. Circle. Husband: the thing for the rectangle circle.... oooooh" Grabbed me the hdmi cable which was what I wanted. He's gotten very adept at understanding the uniquely informative descriptions my PTSD addled brain comes up with.

I do the same and I truly want to believe as intelligent as I am that one day I will stop forgetting words like flashlight/wrench/bottle and will no longer have to subject my husband to a embarrassing round of nonsensical charades. But at least he always knows exactly what the "*insert random hand gestures* thingy" is and where I left it lol

"Dinglehopper." Apparently it comes from The Little Mermaid. I often use it as pejorative for people who cut me off on traffic, for example.

“Gerschtimpt” is a joking curse word, it’s funny because it’s not actually bad, but whenever Grandpa says it my cousins and I would pretend to be all outraged and horrified. Similarly, “Schtimpter” is the little bit of food left over that’s not quite a serving, ex. “Who wants the rice schtimpter?”

Mine is not goofy. I usually just say that f*ckin thing. For some reason I love profanity. Actually any "unacceptable" word works in a pinch. Except for people who are not confirmed annoyances. Then its usually nothing but Dude all the way.
