The discussion revolves around nostalgic childhood memories of creating unique names for everyday objects and experiences. Participants share amusing and imaginative terms they used, such as "water-on-both-sides" for a swampy area and "tuna fish" for a game involving mashing twigs. Other examples include calling corned beef hash "cat food" and various mispronunciations like "anhogs" for eggs and "snausages" for sausages. The conversation highlights the creativity of children in naming things, often leading to humorous misunderstandings later in life, such as the realization that "funny noodles" is not the actual name for ramen. The thread captures a sense of whimsy and the lasting impact of these childhood terms, while also inviting others to reflect on their own experiences with playful language.
