My beautiful 4 year old daughter, for some reason, has always called me by my christian name.....
However, as she goes into school, I have been trying to change this behaviour so that she calls me "dad"....

Conversation goes something like this, myself in living room and daughter in kitchen:

Daughter: "<my christian name> can you come and help me?"

*wander's through to the kitchen

Me: "You gotta start calling me dad"

Daughter "Okay <my christian name>"

Rinsed.....

    Rinsed, who says rinsed anymore that's like so 1993 'star'

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    <my christian name>

    Hmm, I detect you're embarrassed by it. It's JaTavious, isn't it? :D

    My son calls both my wife (his mum) and myself by our christian names. I reckon it's a sign of intelligence!

    Seriously though, do you say 'rinsed' in real life? Are you originally from Clerkenwell or Shoreditch? Or doese it really take London slang 17yrs to reach your village?

    I remember it taking about a year for Tottenham slang to reach my cousins in Leyton, so 17 years to reach Bristol could be about right.

    I do not proclaim to know the origin of rinsed...but I first heard it as a kid in the '80's from a glaswegian uncle. It meant basically to beat someone in a fight by a very large margin.

    As in...heh wee jimmy the weapon sure rinsed that guy naw?

    Does it really take 10 years for glesga slang to make it down to london? I'd have thought with all the weej jakies in LT, that it would have been there much more quickly...

    So I took my 16 year old nephew on a weekend ski trip and taught him to ski(he'd never been before). A couple of weekend trips later he's leaving poor old Uncle D way back up the hill(and I sort of like going fast). Rinsed, burned, showed up, punked, owned, or whatever, I'm suffering emotionaly right now. :wink::wink:

    I called my mum by her name until I went to school and everyone else called their mum mum so I started calling mine mum.

    Won't be long, and then they learn swearing :(

    I tried to keep up, I really did. I'm thinking it's because I'm no longer 16 or immortal. :oops: :oops:

    My other half is Swedish, and the kids are bilingual (though living in the UK). When my youngest was about 3, she started shouting the Swedish for "Bl***y idiot" whenever I took her anywhere in the car...

    It really does take 17 years......My sister-wife (a Hereford cow) told me to use it to look all Lundun and hip...

    Back on topic: carrot and stick for the whole "first name vs Dad" thing, Tiberius

    Back off topic: apparently it's a Facebook thing. People are starting to use localised slang all over the country now. So you so-called sophisticates in London (that's you, DDD) are now using "Lush" which us knuckle-dragging Wurzels from Bristol treat as a bit of a joke. How very chic and modern of you :twisted:

    It's just a hill. Get over it.
