Daddy: "blah blah blah sat and nav."
Mummy: "Satnav."
Daddy: "Yes, sat and nav."
Mummy: "It's satnav. Satellite navigation."
Daddy: "I think you'll find it's satellite AND navigation."
Mummy: "That doesn't even make any sense."
Daddy: "Well maybe they changed it but when they were first invented they were called sat AND nav."
Mummy: "Whatever."
Daddy: "Tannings bad for your teeth."
Mummy: "Do you mean tannin?"

Daddy: "When you buy something from the continent you have to watch out for import duty."
Mummy: "I know. But this was from South Africa."
Daddy: "Yes. The continent."
Mummy: "No, South Africa."
Daddy: "Yes. The continent."
Mummy: "You do know the continent refers only to the continent you are on? i.e. Europe."
Daddy: "No it doesn't. It means everywhere other than Europe."
Mummy: "Don't be ridiculous. That doesn't even make sense."
Daddy: "Of course it does. Doesn't it?" (looks round at various other people, all who immediately run out of the room)
Daddy: "Squozen. It's the past tense of squeezed."
Tom: "No, squeezed is the past tense of squeeze."
Daddy: "Squozen is the state of the item that has been squeezed. Squozen orange juice."
Mummy: "Why does it not say squozen orange juice on bottles then?"
Daddy: "Because they are fresh. When they are not fresh they are squozen."
Mummy: "You are insane."
"We don't say midget anymore. We say primeval dwarf."

Daddy: "A bellweather. It means an indicator."
Mummy: "I've been on this planet 45 years and I've never heard that word."
Colleague: "Sorry I don't want to take sides but I've never heard it either."
Daddy: "Google it."
Colleague: "The leading sheep of a flock with a bell on it's neck. A castrated sheep."
Daddy; "No."
Mummy: "So if the sheep starts walking round in circles we should panic? Is that what you're saying?"
Daddy: "Shut up."
Colleague: "Are you calling me a castrated sheep?"
Mummy: "That's not very nice."
Daddy: "Idiots."
Mummy: "Shut up you bellweather."
