all of these hilarious kidisms have made for a warm, wonderful, rib-tickling offshoot from an otherwise rather cranky and occasionally contentious language thread. i'm certain there must be books of kidisms out there--compilations of kid-speak similar to the ones posted here. such books should be a veritable goldmine. i, personally, can't get enough of them--they are so funny, so gleeful and spiritually uplifting!
...anyone have publishing aspirations?
but there's lots more room in that kiddie pool, i'll bet....

The word "absolutely". I have been noticing that when people use the word they will repeat it. The other day on the local radio station the announcer said it 4 times in 10 minutes repeating it each time.
absolutely, joann!also: exactly and precisely--same thing....
Another word that's being overused is "surreal".
