    I just asked my mam and she says mine was 'dad'.

    Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed, 'dad' is very ordinary. I'm sure there are millions of other people who have the same one. I think I'd like something odd or unexpected like... lamp or penguin or something.

    Alas, it was boring.

    Anyone got any good ones?

    I honestly have no idea. I asked my mum when I was about 12 and she said she didn't remember.

    I can just picture it:

    Me: *says first word*
    Mum: Oh, shut up.

    Yep. I'm loved.

    Blahblurb. I was such a smart child I was creating my own words. My brother and his wife have another baby on the way so I'm gonna spend a lot of time with it and keep repeatedly saying my name in front of the baby so that my name will be it's first word. Just for the laugh. Although, having something like toilet as their first word would be much funnier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Don't know what my first word was but apparantly one of the first words i knew and used quite frequently was 'fuk'. Not that i meant to say that, as the word i was looking for but failing to say was 'fork'. Cue much embarresment for the mother at restaurants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter


    It was jaysus,my uncle lived with us when I was a baby and every time he came in from work he would pick me up and say "Jaysus would you look at her"
    Every morning as well.

    It wasn't only my first word,I thought it was my name too.
    True Story.

    /obviously I couldn't pronounce it properly but they knew what I was attemping to say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Apparently mine was 'No'. Even then I was a disagreeing b@$t@rd. :pac:

    I once knew a kid whose first word was 'Barcelona'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭MadgeBadge


    My first words (yes, I didn't stop at one) were 'red one in the middle'.

    My parents were taking a picture of my two siblings and I, I was was wearing a red jumper with my name printed across the front. My Mam suggested that they should put the red one in the middle, and I thought it was a mighty fine idea, so much so I seconded it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    My mother can't remember, she says the only thing she remembers about me speaking when I was a tot was that I could say all my uncle's names by 11 months, and I was fascinated with the phone.

    I take it as proof that I was born to be a talker.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    My first word was also 'no'

    As irony would have it, it is also the first thing most women say to me when I try and talk to them.

    My first word was 'more', and my first big word was 'lemonade'.

    I always was a greedy one!

    I asked my Mam one day what my first word was. She replied "Ah, how should I know?" That made me feel really loved. :(

    Are you sure she didn't think you were asking who your da was? :)

    :D:D:D
    Mine was 'dog'. Anyway how about these for first words. A boy genius called Andragone DeMello born in 1977 said 'hello' at just 7wks old..fcukin' hell! How about Thomas Babington Macauley the 19th century poet-historian at 1yr old looked out of his nursery window and asked his frightened parents 'is the smoke from that chimney coming from Hell?' What a creepy little fecker!

    Yeah I read it in a book about mysteries. He was a child prodigy who calculated the volume of his bathwater at the age of 3. Mad that.

    I didn't stop at one either, my first words were "Baa Baa Black Sheep".

    And apparently when I woke up in the morning I used to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep, Any Any Wool" to get my parents attention.
