The meaning of "Bubblysome"


The story behind "Bubblysome" comes from when I was around 4 years old. I was out at McDonald's and my mom got me a sprite. I took a sip, and wondered, "Hey, why's it so...?" trying to think of a good explanation for the carbonation, I searched my 4-year-old vocabulary to see how I could explain what I was tasting on my tounge to my parents. what I dug up from the innermost reaches of my mind was "Bubblysome" "Mommy, why's my sprite all bubblysome?"
My parents still tease me about that

Bubblysome is a good word. Much prettier on the tongue than "carbonated."

Some words from babyhood persist. I still sometimes say "noonies" for noodles and "gummy" for gum.

Some made-up words I still say include: "terrific," "ridiculous" and "moronic." Sometimes I'm so stupid!

"Ridiculous" isn't a word?

Back to me. Actually neither, "noonie" was from a girl I babysat when I was 13. "Gummy" was one of my brothers. There were better ones, but I don't remember them anymore.

There is also another word I made up (and it wasn't to long ago) that my parents probably wouldn't let me say on here, but, it IS my blog, so I could see if that excuse can let me post it.

I could see why my parents won't let me post it though.

I remember when I was dating the girl who would become my bride and one night in the car I said to her " oh, Grandma, you're so supercalifragilisticexpialidosous"
( It meant she was a good kisser)

Anyway... that's my favorite made up word.

So this is another adjective like handsome or wholesome? Very cool--I think it could be used to describe a personality too.

In Italy when you order water they say "con gas?" asking if you want bubblysome water. I like that too!

Ashley and I still like to refer to our 'curling inor' and 'lickstip' ( obviously for 'curling iron' and lipstick) I think this was the way Ashley sait them when she was little.
