Sometimes, I'll make up words that seem to sound better to me than the actual words for things. Often they are rhythmical in nature.
When I was a child I gave things in the home, their own names, that sounded better than the actual words, which at times I found hard to say.
So, for example burners on a stove became 'rounders,' pet rabbits became 'bounders.' Even siblings names were changed to become easier to say. People might think of them as nicknames.
Have you or did you create words that seem more appropriate to you? Or do you call things by other names?
