Twist'Ems

Just back from a wonderful weekend up at North Shore peacefully disconnected from all electronica. More on that later once I've gone through the hundreds of photos I took to find one or two that came out okay...heh.

As a tide-over, here's an interesting word-play mull-over. How many words do you use on a regular basis that are actually twistings or corruptions of the real word? For instance, jammies for pajamas, lappy for laptop, etc. A friend sent me a link to another blog post that mentioned this phenomenon, and my speech is full of these.

Some have been pilfered and assimilated from others including my family and friends, and some of them are used by lots of people, but here's a partial list of the ones I use on a regular basis:
