Don't know if they're real words Andy but my Grandad used to say 'I'll snickersneeze you' or 'I'll marmalize you'. This was usually accompanied by being grabbed in that area near your neck where Dr Spock gets you, resulting in us shreiking and trying to wriggle away! lol I must say I do it to my own kids now and find it most enjoyable! lolol Jeanette x
