Celery and Lettuce Idiolects










Following is an example from a dear friend's family's idiolect


Family Idiolect

Person looking at a boat: "Celery?"
Person next to the person looking at the boat: "Lettuce."



Translation
Person looking at a boat: "Shall we go for a boat ride?"
Person next to the person looking at the boat "Let's."


This is what I call having fun with language.
