Just a Few Jackisms

As a preliminary matter, today was a much better day than yesterday. Jim is indeed still alive. He claims that he was planning to use the TWO olives in a sandwich. Right.

Anyway, it was beautiful outside today and the kids had a lot of fun playing outdoors. We had popcorn for a snack, and I noticed Jack continues to refer to it as "Cockcorn." I thought it might be time for a list of the latest Jackisms.

A Peeter: Computer.

A zeeyum: Museum.

Book Man: Butcher (man).

Gwapes: Grapes.

Cop-too: Helicopter. See also Heh-cockter.

Cockcorn: Popcorn. A favorite snack.

Dig-ooh: Digger, one of Jack's favorite construction vehicles.

Heh-cockter: Helicopter. See also Cop-too.

Hi, Doo doo: Jack's way of saying "hey, dude." It morphed from his initial "hi, dude!"

Jan Fwandich: Jam sandwich, Jack's lunch preference.

Manana: Banana.

More-tayto: Tornado. Said as Jack spins wildly in a circle, chanting "More-tayto, More-tayto, More-tayto!" Not to be confused with Tayto or MyTayto (see below).

MyTayto: Matteo, a little boy in Jack's preschool class.

Panpake: Pancake, Jack's favorite breakfast. Often paired with the word "house" thusly "Panpake House" to indicate he would like to go to IHOP.

PIE-at Booties: Pirate Booty, a favorite snack food.

RAD-doo: Used interchangeably to mean radio or radiator.

Stick Toes: French Toast Sticks, another preferred breakfast. A bastardized form of "French Stick Toast," which is what Lily calls them.

Tayto: Mr. Potato Head.
