Parentese – The things that parents say that normal people (with no kids) would never understand. Also known as Mominitions. Examples:
Blackyblue – The invisible bruise that a child gets whenever someone mentions a black and blue mark.
Grandma, see the blackyblue on my leg?
Booty check – Feeling a diaper to see whether or not it’s full of poop.
I smell something rank, so I’m going to do a booty check.
Octocling – The feeling that your child has eight (or more!) arms, all gripping you at the same time to prevent you from putting her down. Similar to orangatang grip.
Enough with the octopus cling, you don’t have to sit on the horse.
Piggy rings - The rubber bands that hold a toddler’s piggy tails together.
Where are the piggy rings? I need to get Grace’s hair out of her eyes.
Poop gas - Pass gas, fart.
Momma: Grace, does your diaper need changed? You’re stinky.
Grace: No, Momma. I pooped gas.
Seaping – Sleeping that occurs in the car seat, just as the car pulls into the destination.
I postponed my entrance to Walmart so Grace could finish her seaping.

It’s funny how they create their own language.
Know that I mean nothing ugly by this, but I have to disagree with you slightly on your statement…”The things that parents say that normal people (with no kids) would never understand”
1. normal people (with no kids) are just as “normal” as those with kids.
2. even those who do not have children can understand some of the lingo; society now days bombards us with language that is less than correct. So those with and without children are immersed in it to some degree.

Butt Sniffing
Smelling baby’s butt to see if there is poop. Sometimes done in conjunction with a booty check.

What a fun post!
Here is my entry:
flippy-floppy: the shoes that Grace wears to the beach and for swimming. They are like flip flops, but they also have a heal strap. “Flippy-floppy, Mommy. I want to wear flippy-floppies!”
bur: Grace’s word for her pacifier (which, YES, she is still using at times. shame…shame…)
pee pee-potty: This is what Grace says when she needs to pee or poop in her potty chair.

Our words are PA Dutch. Which I guess means that “normal” people (LOL) can’t understand them. When I moved south, people looked at me like I was crazy.
dootzer–pacifier
stroobly–”your hair needs to be brushed, it’s all stroobly”

“FLOORIOS”- cheerios that toddlers drop all over the floor and then proceed to pick up and eat (while mom pretends not to notice).
My daughter has consumed her share of “floorios” at different playdates!
