Adults do this too, in foreign languages. It's particularly funny when you've studied for the sake of reading literature, and therefore forget simple words. Had a friend who, when learning Chinese, forgot the word for "sad" and said "there is an economic downturn in my brain".

As an eastern european, its funny how a lot of these are exactly the way words in our languages were made. Someone who understands things well trying to translate (or portray a general meaning of) things to English would totally say something similar to 1/4th of the stuff here. Writing this after re-memory and another one came up which are way too perfect while also having quite a bit of complexity as to why they're perfect to be a coincidence
I fondly remember a distant cousin of mine who was eight at the time, that attempted to remember the word “Jacuzzi”. Ended up calling it a “people boiling pot” 💀
I'm sorry, but as a linguistics student, this is really interesting to me, particularly in terms of how logical they are. Like, a lot of these are probably correct in a different language, or at least very close to something you would say.
Yeah! There are clear patterns here of a productive system of compounding / modifiers that allows the children to work around the forgotten/unknown word by analogy in a predictable way. Just gotta tap into Child Logic to understand why the things are analogous. And the system clearly sticks around. I find the moment where Matt objects to "finger legs" as toes interesting in this way. His argument is basically that "leg fingers" are toes because they're the fingers attached to the legs, while "finger legs" are arms because they're the legs that have fingers. And that *makes sense* in comparison to most other compounds in English (and Norwegian, which is where my bias towards calling these constructions compounds comes from).
It's also common with processing disorders and people who are strong visual thinkers. Basically, you might create incredible things, but you're likely to be mistaken for an idiot your whole life because most everyone values verbal communication first and fast, and your value increases with how verbal you are.
Like how the French term for "potato" roughly means "dirt apple"? I know that's not an exact translation, but I don't think they were referring to the planet.
3:23 i used to say "i'm full of that" when i had eaten enough of something (probably healthy) and wanted something actually appetizing. we need a word for that
there's actually a term for many of these examples called "idiosyncratic speech", which is where someone uses normal words in abnormal ways (e.g., calling milk "cereal water"). i have autism so i used to struggle alot with idiosyncratic speech when i was younger, but now i do much better with expressing myself in ways that others understand.
Your insistence on keeping the formatting of the original comment intact while translating it into VO work makes your delivery fucking perfect. You're so fucking hilarious Matt, keep yourself in good health ❤ We love you
When my cousin was 3, he didn’t know what zebras were. He thought the zebra in his toy zoo set was called a “jail horse” and would get upset if I corrected him.
My kid used to call any day where it was sunny Sunday. Night was, of course, “not Sunday”. He also had a funny habit of using measurements of time to emphasize things. Instead of, “I love you a lot,” we got “I love you three weeks.” If he was very enthusiastic he might even love you, “a whole year”
You know how there's the phrase "I love you to the moon and back"? I was into astronomy so I used to escalate that to things like the whole solar system, etc.
"the story behind my eyes when i'm asleep" sounds like the title to an extremely deep and sad novel where the main character has an unrealistic amount of trauma
My 11 year old brother had never seen a kangaroo before. One day he found a little kangaroo plush on the floor of my room. He picked it up slowly, and with an expression of awe and confusion, he gasped: "Pocket animal?"
Vaguely reminds me of how my brother, as a child, had an epiphany he needed to share with the world. He shouted gleefully, "If honeybees make honey, bumblebees make BUMBLE!"
My father called communion “snack and a drink”. He also called the sit, stand, kneel bit “Catharobics”. Not a religious man, but he had a sense of humour.
In my language, the verb "to swallow" is more like "to swallow in". When my dad was a very young kid, he had to throw up, but didn't know the word, so told my grandmother he had to "swallow out".
I do this still sometimes, and I've been an adult for 8 years. It's less of a "I don't know the word" and more of "I'm currently blanking on the word and I'm scrambling through my readily available vocabulary to find it but can't, so I shall improvise." It's really is a fantastic source for new -isms.
Yes! This is totally normal and definitely happens to adult native speakers (not just kids or non-natives). I think you unintentionally did just that, since there's a name for a new word, it's called a "neologism", but new-ism definitely works too :). Anyways, I love these kind of things, just shows how creative people can be!
Two funny things that my younger brother used to say: Instead of yesterday he would say "Lasterday", probably because he heard us say things like "last week" and "last month" and thought that the same rule should apply to days. He loved to make up questions for us to answer, but if we got it wrong instead of just saying "Wrong!", "that's not right!" or even "incorrect", he would say "Discorrect" with the most blank unemotional face I've ever seen on a six year old.
My brother in law says "after bed" instead of tomorrow. He's still a kid but probably too old to not know the word tomorrow and he's been taught it multiple times, he just doesn't use is 💀
Both me and my sisters had weird ways to describe items when we were kids. Apparently I didn't know the name for chocolate and called it "dollar cake" . My eldest sister used to call menus "cafe books" and my middle sister used to call winnie the pooh "Window Poo". We get reminded of them every now and then
I never really heard the news people correctly when they were saying the weather. So when they mentioned "x degrees, but y degrees with the wind chill", I was super confused cause I heard it was windshield, not wind chill, and of course you can set your car to whatever temperature you want. Took my sister correcting me to realize, now my family wont shut up about it, even to this day 😂😂
My mom and I were talking about my older brothers and when they would graduate (This was a few years ago). My little sister was there and I was trying to teach her the names of the four years of high school here in the US. Freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. I told her, “After they’re done being seniors, they’ll graduate.” She got so excited to add to the conversation and said with a big smile, “And then they’ll be fishermen!” It took my mom and I about three or so minutes to realize she meant college freshmen-
Greetings, for I have never seen you before in my life :D To be fair, my brain evaporated once and I used "super duper seniors" for college sophomores because when I was younger I thought super senior was just another term for college freshman.
@@yeahbutwhy8788 Why hello for the first time ever, my very favorite stranger c: Okay but super duper senior is so fucking adorable, I can’t- I’m obsessed with English and vocabulary, so it’s rare for me to have these moments, but I was once trying to explain Toki Pona to my dad by saying, “Not every word has a concrete definition,” but I couldn’t think of the word concrete, so I ended up saying that not all the words have cement definitions-
One time, I wrote a painfully cringe story about a Mii I made on my family’s Wii console. I didn’t know the word involved, so the introduction just said “this book equals pain and sadness”
I remember our church serving breakfast for a special occasion (they had put the chairs in the room with tables) and I remember when I was getting sausage, the grill had a squirrel tail at the end of it which would make a squeak sound and twitch anytime the person took meet from the grill it was in. This fascinated me and so I called it “squirrel meat”. I still do to this day because of the momentous occasion!

While in college (that's uni to you Matt) I spent my summers as a janitor at a local church/preschool. One day I believed to have left my broom in the principal's office, but, unable to recall the word for broom, I asked the principal, who was also my former teacher in kinder, if she knew the whereabouts of my "sweepie-sweep". Needless to say, she was extraordinarily disappointed in me.

When my cousin was really little, like, four, she started referring to "going to work" as "going to the penny shop" She is now thirteen. We still, on a regular basis, refer to work as the Penny Shop. Yes, she has a baby sister now who is three- but even when M isn't there, we still refer to work as The Penny Shop. Also, as a trans person I have gone through many names- Jay, Oestre, Oscar- but the name my family refers to me as is, and will be for the foreseeable future, Ee. My baby cousin cannot pronounce my legal name, Isabel, or the nickname, Izzy. My aunt has always called me "Izzy" and obviously, my cousin only got the Eee part at the end- and now, I am E. Just E, I go to pick her up from Nursery once, she runs down the stairs and shouts "E!" I visit her, "E!" We go out in public any where and I wander off slightly to hang out with her sister, "E!" I am E. This is my life now.
Also when I was little, I used to have Weetabix mixed with yogurt, I called this food "Boggarty Bix" And me and my nan still call it that. I'm almost nineteen,
This really gives a little insight on both psychology and mechanisms of how potentially first languages had formed in the past. I think we can study it through kids. When I was 5 or 6 yo I wrote a little story, and that notebook has survived until today. There I found some peculiar words like "green usefullness" or "knockable giant"
can you elaborate on said "green usefullness" and "knockable giant"? do you recall what it meant for you back then because i can't think of anything from the top of my hair bed
@@The800pa it's hard to tell about "knockable giant", because English isn't my native language and I had to adapt that word combination when I wrote the comment; direct translation would be smth like " flickable-on-the-forehead giant" (Context: charactes see a giant robot) considering "green usefulness" it's much easier. from the context it was some kind of fuel used to fly over the lake

Cool! I’m curious. What language do you speak?
I fondly remember a distant cousin of mine who was eight at the time, that attempted to remember the word “Jacuzzi”. Ended up calling it a “people boiling pot” 💀
Someone's seen slashers.
"Dad, can we get a people boiling pot?"
You have to specify you want the fancy kind in order to get a jacuzzi, if you just ask for people boiling pots then just any old pot will do
I'm sorry, but as a linguistics student, this is really interesting to me, particularly in terms of how logical they are. Like, a lot of these are probably correct in a different language, or at least very close to something you would say.
Yeah! There are clear patterns here of a productive system of compounding / modifiers that allows the children to work around the forgotten/unknown word by analogy in a predictable way. Just gotta tap into Child Logic to understand why the things are analogous.
And the system clearly sticks around. I find the moment where Matt objects to "finger legs" as toes interesting in this way. His argument is basically that "leg fingers" are toes because they're the fingers attached to the legs, while "finger legs" are arms because they're the legs that have fingers. And that *makes sense* in comparison to most other compounds in English (and Norwegian, which is where my bias towards calling these constructions compounds comes from).
A direct translation of “chicken burger” is very much correct in Dutch*.
* conditions apply.
It's also common with processing disorders and people who are strong visual thinkers. Basically, you might create incredible things, but you're likely to be mistaken for an idiot your whole life because most everyone values verbal communication first and fast, and your value increases with how verbal you are.
Like how the French term for "potato" roughly means "dirt apple"?
I know that's not an exact translation, but I don't think they were referring to the planet.
also the obvious... short pants is just the full way of saying shorts. maybe more old fashioned, but not wrong or weird.
3:23 i used to say "i'm full of that" when i had eaten enough of something (probably healthy) and wanted something actually appetizing. we need a word for that
Yes we do

there's actually a term for many of these examples called "idiosyncratic speech", which is where someone uses normal words in abnormal ways (e.g., calling milk "cereal water"). i have autism so i used to struggle alot with idiosyncratic speech when i was younger, but now i do much better with expressing myself in ways that others understand.
The cat approaching as you lean in to read. Beautiful
Yeah, these are funny as hell, but also _perfectly logical_ and I'm overall really impressed.
Your insistence on keeping the formatting of the original comment intact while translating it into VO work makes your delivery fucking perfect. You're so fucking hilarious Matt, keep yourself in good health ❤ We love you
I’ve been waiting for a sequel to the “Forgot the words for things” video, and I guess this is close enough. Well done
When my cousin was 3, he didn’t know what zebras were. He thought the zebra in his toy zoo set was called a “jail horse” and would get upset if I corrected him.
Please tell me a tiger was a jail lion 😂
I don't know why. Some children are just like that. Some even argue with you all the time and whenever they are corrected.
That makes sense. It had that striped color old jail uniforms used to have on TV shows and cartoons and it looks like a horse.
My kid used to call any day where it was sunny Sunday. Night was, of course, “not Sunday”. He also had a funny habit of using measurements of time to emphasize things. Instead of, “I love you a lot,” we got “I love you three weeks.” If he was very enthusiastic he might even love you, “a whole year”
I love that 2 months
Aww 🥺
That’s adorable!
You know how there's the phrase "I love you to the moon and back"? I was into astronomy so I used to escalate that to things like the whole solar system, etc.
I love this 100 billion trillion years.
"The story behind my eyes" is so beautiful
"the story behind my eyes when i'm asleep" sounds like the title to an extremely deep and sad novel where the main character has an unrealistic amount of trauma
My 11 year old brother had never seen a kangaroo before. One day he found a little kangaroo plush on the floor of my room. He picked it up slowly, and with an expression of awe and confusion, he gasped:
"Pocket animal?"
My favorite monster catching franchise Pocket Animals
Vaguely reminds me of how my brother, as a child, had an epiphany he needed to share with the world. He shouted gleefully, "If honeybees make honey, bumblebees make BUMBLE!"
I always wondered who made the bumble
Precisely correct! Now I'm certain your brother has a proper foundation for understanding which animal eats grizzly

My father called communion “snack and a drink”. He also called the sit, stand, kneel bit “Catharobics”. Not a religious man, but he had a sense of humour.
In my language, the verb "to swallow" is more like "to swallow in". When my dad was a very young kid, he had to throw up, but didn't know the word, so told my grandmother he had to "swallow out".
I do this still sometimes, and I've been an adult for 8 years. It's less of a "I don't know the word" and more of "I'm currently blanking on the word and I'm scrambling through my readily available vocabulary to find it but can't, so I shall improvise." It's really is a fantastic source for new -isms.
Yes! This is totally normal and definitely happens to adult native speakers (not just kids or non-natives). I think you unintentionally did just that, since there's a name for a new word, it's called a "neologism", but new-ism definitely works too :). Anyways, I love these kind of things, just shows how creative people can be!
Two funny things that my younger brother used to say:
Instead of yesterday he would say "Lasterday", probably because he heard us say things like "last week" and "last month" and thought that the same rule should apply to days.
He loved to make up questions for us to answer, but if we got it wrong instead of just saying "Wrong!", "that's not right!" or even "incorrect", he would say "Discorrect" with the most blank unemotional face I've ever seen on a six year old.
“Discorrect 🗿”
My brother used to say “last day” and I thought it was the cutest thing ever
My brother in law says "after bed" instead of tomorrow. He's still a kid but probably too old to not know the word tomorrow and he's been taught it multiple times, he just doesn't use is 💀
That's hypercorrect
I remember waking up in an ambulance, and I was so out of it that I called the ambulance a “hospital truck”.
2:15 “and then everyone clapped.”
My son was a funny one, at the age of 2, he wanted popcorn. Only he asked for copporn. It's been 26 years & we all still laugh about it!

Both me and my sisters had weird ways to describe items when we were kids. Apparently I didn't know the name for chocolate and called it "dollar cake" . My eldest sister used to call menus "cafe books" and my middle sister used to call winnie the pooh "Window Poo". We get reminded of them every now and then
Cafe books is actually a really good description of a menu.
As a child, I used to call bubble wrap: "Poppy Paper" even though it's made of PLASTIC!
"Wanna watch Window Poo with me?"
When I was little I called Kung Fu Panda, "Comfy Panda"
My mum thought it was adorable and has never let me forget
"Trick Police" sounds like it could be the name of a Michael Jackson song.
I never really heard the news people correctly when they were saying the weather. So when they mentioned "x degrees, but y degrees with the wind chill", I was super confused cause I heard it was windshield, not wind chill, and of course you can set your car to whatever temperature you want. Took my sister correcting me to realize, now my family wont shut up about it, even to this day 😂😂
5:38 "Waterboarding at guantanmo bay" sounds awsome if you dont know what either of these things are
My mom and I were talking about my older brothers and when they would graduate (This was a few years ago). My little sister was there and I was trying to teach her the names of the four years of high school here in the US. Freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. I told her, “After they’re done being seniors, they’ll graduate.” She got so excited to add to the conversation and said with a big smile, “And then they’ll be fishermen!” It took my mom and I about three or so minutes to realize she meant college freshmen-
Who's saying they CAN'T be fishermen?
Greetings, for I have never seen you before in my life :D
To be fair, my brain evaporated once and I used "super duper seniors" for college sophomores because when I was younger I thought super senior was just another term for college freshman.

I’m obsessed with English and vocabulary, so it’s rare for me to have these moments, but I was once trying to explain Toki Pona to my dad by saying, “Not every word has a concrete definition,” but I couldn’t think of the word concrete, so I ended up saying that not all the words have cement definitions-

referring to the surfing one, one time when I was a child I got traumatized after searching up "water board" when I was looking for a dock.
My nephew used to say "yestertime" to describe any previous day. I still use the term 30 odd years later.
As an adult I once forgot the word "nephew" and referred to my brother's son as my "boy niece".
I forgot the word for amnesia and I called it the ‘big forget’. My friend thought it was wonderfully ironic.
One time, I wrote a painfully cringe story about a Mii I made on my family’s Wii console. I didn’t know the word involved, so the introduction just said
“this book equals pain and sadness”
I remember our church serving breakfast for a special occasion (they had put the chairs in the room with tables) and I remember when I was getting sausage, the grill had a squirrel tail at the end of it which would make a squeak sound and twitch anytime the person took meet from the grill it was in. This fascinated me and so I called it “squirrel meat”.
I still do to this day because of the momentous occasion!
i went to the psychologist today, and she made me define a bunch of words. this is pretty much how it went.
for anyone confused, it was part of the cognition test ffs
You'd think that a psychologist would be able to afford a dictionary or at least know how to use Google.
@@CiaraOSullivan1990 ...it was part of the evaluation
@@tobyandahalfwhy? I’m sorry if it’s personal was it testing a learning disability? I can’t imagine my psychologist asking me to define what a stop sign is. “I came here for Xanax”

Cousin used to call snails "nables". We also all collectively decided the plant-watering extension tool thing for the garden hose was called "Fred Ed" and none of us have any idea how that happened
My cousin once called her socks her 'feet mittens'.
When I was young referred to Meatloaf as a 'Meat Cake' and everyone in my family has called it that ever since.
She wasn't wrong. Socks are, in fact, feet mittens for your feet.
6:18 YesterMorrow is also the name of a multiplatform 2D pixelart adventure game. I would recommend it.
While in college (that's uni to you Matt) I spent my summers as a janitor at a local church/preschool. One day I believed to have left my broom in the principal's office, but, unable to recall the word for broom, I asked the principal, who was also my former teacher in kinder, if she knew the whereabouts of my "sweepie-sweep". Needless to say, she was extraordinarily disappointed in me.
I had to book a JetBoat ride for my husband at Queenstown NewZealand but I had a full-on horrible headache, I asked the cashier for a ticket on a _"woosh-woosh"_ (moved my hand sideways) ship 😅 got him the best seat at the front 😂😂
I once forgot what a mop was and said "water broom"
I once forgot the word for mop and called it floor octopus.
Or the one time I forgot the word of hose and called it a noodle.
Matt can always make you laugh no matter what mood or situation 👍

I used to call aeroplanes "upperplanes". When asked why I would say "because they're up". Makes more sense than "aeroplane" in my opinion.

When my cousin was really little, like, four, she started referring to "going to work" as "going to the penny shop"
She is now thirteen.
We still, on a regular basis, refer to work as the Penny Shop.
Yes, she has a baby sister now who is three- but even when M isn't there, we still refer to work as The Penny Shop.
Also, as a trans person I have gone through many names- Jay, Oestre, Oscar- but the name my family refers to me as is, and will be for the foreseeable future, Ee.
My baby cousin cannot pronounce my legal name, Isabel, or the nickname, Izzy.
My aunt has always called me "Izzy" and obviously, my cousin only got the Eee part at the end- and now, I am E.
Just E,
I go to pick her up from Nursery once, she runs down the stairs and shouts "E!"
I visit her, "E!"
We go out in public any where and I wander off slightly to hang out with her sister, "E!"
I am E.
This is my life now.
Also when I was little, I used to have Weetabix mixed with yogurt,
I called this food "Boggarty Bix"
And me and my nan still call it that.
I'm almost nineteen,
These are all so wholesome
Ee
“E” sounds like some Men In Black type shit 💀

This really gives a little insight on both psychology and mechanisms of how potentially first languages had formed in the past. I think we can study it through kids. When I was 5 or 6 yo I wrote a little story, and that notebook has survived until today. There I found some peculiar words like "green usefullness" or "knockable giant"
can you elaborate on said "green usefullness" and "knockable giant"? do you recall what it meant for you back then because i can't think of anything from the top of my hair bed
@@The800pa it's hard to tell about "knockable giant", because English isn't my native language and I had to adapt that word combination when I wrote the comment; direct translation would be smth like " flickable-on-the-forehead giant" (Context: charactes see a giant robot) considering "green usefulness" it's much easier. from the context it was some kind of fuel used to fly over the lake
Was it one of the kid's boxing bags ballon things?
When I was little I called pedestrians “peda-strains.” My older sister still mocks me about it whenever we see a pedestrian crossing sign.
My dad's girlfriend forgot the word forgot the word carwash, so she called it "The laundrymat for cars." We never let that down.
My nephew, after hearing my uncle calling someone a “cretin” in the car, once shouted “YOU CROUTON!” at his toys and I’ve still not stopped laughing 😂
That's incredible
At 6:30 he isn’t wrong, that was actually confirmed I’m sure.

Yes mario mario
1:33 that a common phrase we say in Greece when it's hot. not wrong really. 6:45 "In September 2015, at the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary festival, Miyamoto stated that Mario's full name was Mario Mario. As a result, this indirectly confirms Luigi's full name to be Luigi Mario."
One of the better parts of language is being able to pull out this kind of stuff, if the shoe fits as it were.
Getting home, turning on YT to hear Matt yell “SKULL EMOJIIII” always makes me feel slightly better.
As a kid I forgot the word for eyes and instead called them 'Motion Detectors'.
Omg I remember the Nostalgia Critic having a crisis over the Mario Mario thing, because that came up in the first movie in the 80's!
