We have our own words too.

When we had cats a pill was " p.i. double hockey stick".
One of them knew what a pill was so it spelled it.

The litter boxes were called the "ammo boxes". Ive heard people call their pets business "bombs" so you know.

Sometimes instead of saying good morning we just grunt at each other.
