OK, I recently posted a reply on another thread in which I used the word "glick". Not sure when it came about, but everybody in my family knows what it means... So I thought it would be fun to hear some others. I'll start...
Speeper = Windshield washer nozzle. "the windshield is covered in glick, better hit the speeper".

Gazinta. It's any of those leftover plastic tubs with lids, like for margarine or Cool Whip. When it's empty you wash it, keep it, and it's what leftover food "goes inta." Gazinta.

Dad was in the British Army for many years, stationed all over the world. He picked up quite a few phrases, some Hindi, Urddu and Chinese, and some oh so Anglo Saxon.
'Kiswasti'- an undefinable thing. as in "I have a pain in my kiswasti"
'Dekko' A look, as in "have a dekko at this weird thing"
"Hither ow" - Come here
'Gildi' - hurry up

I don't believe in astrology. I am a Gemini and
we're very skeptical.

We call it all Margaware, but I kinda like Gazinta...
Everyone in my family knows chu-chut (rhymes with "the foot.")
"The" chu-chut is the remote control. "A" chu-chut or "that" chu-chut is just a generic term we use when we cannot remember the right name for something.
Funny how complicated that sounds - we don't even think about it. So, "Where's the chu-chut?" sends everyone scrambling to find the remote. But "Where's that chu-chut we use to vacuum the corners?" is a request for the crevice tool. See? Easy!
Actually "Gazinta" is a Philadelphia term used in mathematics, as in How many times does 25 Gazinta 100? My dad always stressed that I learn my Gazintas.
Would I lie about a thing like this?
Juke! We'd yell that to a team mate when the ball was destined to collide with his head. "Juke!" Used this term synonymously with "DUCK!" And, it IS an actual word.
