    My two year old has christened the tumble dryer the “bendover” and the computer the “poocutter”.

    We try not to wet ourselves laughing when he says them.

    Dare we ask what he witnessed for that to come about?

    On a related subject, I remember once hearing about a three year old on his first boat trip who spotted a seal. With a stunned expression, he pointed and shouted “DOG-BOAT!”.

    Dog-boat… class! 😀

    Serious question though: is there a word that means someone who used to be your step parent but isn’t any longer?

    Was talking about my former step-dad to a friend a couple of days ago and realised I didn’t actually know a name for what his relationship to me is now. Legally there’s no link at all – but in reality he’s still part of the family. You’d think there’d be a word as these days I doubt it’s unusual!

    As far as I know there is no word for the rogue cob of mud that you find under the auricle several days after a bike ride.

    FTFY. 😀
