Et. It's the past tense of the word eat. And Wrongsadowderds. That means you put your shirt on with the tag on the outside. Then there's Perkindickular, and I have no idea what the he** that means. These were some of the special words my grandmother came up with. Oh and I almost forgot the word VOMERIT. Like when you throw up.

Oh, sorry, this is not a funny one....warning...
"would you please let\help me die?"
Every person who has worked in a hospital has heard this at some point. It is really hard to proceed with some POINTLESS procedure that the doctor has ordered when they say this to you.
