Do you have a familect in your family? We speak a different language when we’re at home than when we are out in the world. Maybe you have a nickname from a parent that followed you into adulthood. Maybe you have an old joke or a shared reference to a song. These are referred to as familects, those invented words, pet names, and in-jokes only your family knows.
Maybe a handshake that two siblings share or maybe mispronounced words that have reminded misspoken for years in the family. Does your family have any familects?
