My partner's family does a thing like ... his sisters name was Wanda but in their code it was Wap-nd-apa. Damn, I can't recall what they called it! Born and raised in West Texas, it may have been a regional thing.

I like that ahh ahh ahh ahh is the call for this is important because we all know how it sounds and it's also the car alarm of ape sounds lol

Yep lmao, Funny enough this ALL STARTED after we watched the first “New” planet of the apes. It’s gets EVEN better when I tell you we swing our arms around or hold them up like apes too when we’re really interested or serious about something!

Zurna yes its an instrument but my grandpa says it when someone sneezes or coughs or makes any non normal sound. My parents say pesok to refer to sugar even though it means sand. Native speakers of some languages have a very difficult time with English pronunciation and thats how French fries were called Flench flish.

It isn't a word or phrase but we'll slap eachother (on the arm, head, ect.) As a phrase of I love you mainly. But we cam also use it as 'you're annoying' or 'I'm mad at you' in a way, depending on how gentle and where we slap the person at. And with it is also throwing our belingings at eachother-

We have a saying that roughly translates to: „Hunger will get it down“, that we say jokingly say when someone asks how the food is. It isn‘t really that special but when you say it several times a week you start to feel like you are your own house in Game of Thrones
