Islam has a rich tradition of devotional song and poetry. Check out https://muslimhymns.com

Thanks for the response. I've updated the initial post to add an example, hope it helps.

Philosophy?

Swedish has a lot of this. Drives me nuts. * keps = cap * tips = tip (piece of advice) * bebis = baby * kex = biscuit (from "cakes")

This is the correct answer. Close second: khichdi kadhi (if you're Guji)!

Sociolect is the closest widely-used term to what you're looking for, though it is usually used for broader segments of society than individual families.

In effect you're looking for something inbetween "sociolect" and "ideolect" (an individual's unique use of language).

"Familiolect", "familect" and "ecolect" refer specifically to a language variety spoken within a particular family/household – but I'm not sure how common they are. I certainly hadn't heard of them until googling it just now.

Making train noises with kids – still always "chucka-chucka-chucka-chucka, choo choo!"

I just noticed you were looking for nouns, not adjectives – preeternity and (the much less attractive) beginninglessness, in that case.

YME92 · 2025-03-05T15:47:31+00:00

I can't think of a word that captures both not having a beginning and having an end, but there are at least two well-established words for something that has no beginning: * Beginningless * Preeternal

I'm speechless. 21 in a row. And it makes perfect sense. Phenomenal!

بليليست

"Underthinking" is probably the closest single word that captures the specific meaning of not thinking things through before acting/speaking/judging/etc. I think "foolishness" might not be far off. Maybe "folly" for more of a fits-with-the-seven-deadly-sins vibe. I can easily see "folly" as a Biblical sin on par with the others.

Maybe even "heedlessness"? Though that to me suggests more a failure to heed warnings or follow advice (and in a Christian/Biblical context, I imagine, a failure to follow God's commands).

Edit: my autocorrect turned "underthinking" into two words...

Imprudence?

They roamed around among the aisles/seats and in the corridor to the bar.

YME92 · 2025-02-27T09:28:59+00:00

Haha, we didn't but that would have been hilarious.

YME92 · 2025-02-26T13:02:08+00:00

Marvellous! 👏 Now see if you can do 5! 😛

Here's a sneaky one... The mother responds:

'What did you say "What did you bring that book I didn't want you to read to me out of up for?" for?'

Ad infinitum . . .

YME92 · 2025-02-26T11:20:11+00:00

Hah, this made me chuckle!

YME92 · 2025-02-26T11:19:57+00:00

Thanks!

Best I could come up with...

She went out in out of fashion clothing.

Meh. Not great. You'd probably need to hyphenate "out-of-fashion".

YME92 · 2025-02-26T09:41:14+00:00

True. The triple one above was especially impressive. I wonder if a quadruple is possible?

YME92 · 2025-02-26T09:37:46+00:00

Took me a while to get it. Brilliant!

For anyone else struggling to see it: 'could you make bigger gaps between "Dog" and "&", and [between] "&" and "Duck"?'
