Sproglet and Sprogs. Not sure if those terms are used elsewhere. Any Brits remember "Sprog-bashing Day"? Was it just a Northern thing?

I always refer to my offspring as the Sprogs. It words great in the stores/playgrounds -I yell sprogs and they know I mean them, no-one else thinks it means them, no need to waste time saying each name
