Our made up word is over 65 years old. I was born when this word was already in the family. The word is Caloupie. ( ca-lou-pee). It means to take a nibble from the Shabbos food. ''Who caloupied the chicken/kugel?'' or ''Ma, Yossi is calouping all the cake! It is still being used.

My grandparents were Hungarian.
Whenever there was a mess my grandmother was upset about the "wasár (vushar)" which literally means a market/shopping center.
I've subconsciously started using the term when the house is messy and I've heard my kids use it too.

We have an empty space in our house that ciuld so have been made into a room, but we havent done it yet.
We called it the waiting room when we moved in cos its lit a waste of space.
Even my 3 yr old calls it that.

Same. Now I'm wondering if there are two families using the same term or if this is my sister  .

I've been saying it's "frostnipistan" instead of freezing since last week. But I assume that may gain popularity.

We have so many of these!
The most useful is “sperg” (as in ASPERGER’S SYNDROME, which my husband and oldest son have). A sperg is a long winded monologue on a topic that interests the speaker but not the listener. To sperg is to make such a monologue. This word is not used mockingly. My husband used it early in our relationship and clearly it was a word already in his vocabulary. My kids think it’s a real word though. I use it every single day. “Herschel, I have been listening to you sperg about pythons for 40 minutes and now you absolutely have to stop.”
A bongle is my husband or sons. A bonglette is my daughter.
Rangow is the noise an angry baby makes when it’s crying, or a baby that makes such a noise.
To be angee is to feel pretend, good natured indignation.
To shmurgle is to mess with something.
A shishel is a sink liner. (Is this a real word? My father and his parents use it as if it were, but I’ve never heard it anywhere else.)
A jowabunga is a hangnail.

Shishel is Yiddish for basin. Like the bowl used for negal vasser or the bucket you use to soak clothes in.

Funny you should say that. I'm sometimes called "Ms. Stuff" at work because I often label files and storage boxes "Personnel stuff" "Newsletter stuff" "Training stuff" etc.
