Barp

Posted in Babies at 9:00 am by Jon

We’ve stumbled on a new word: barp. This morning my tongue slipped and instead of “burp” out came “barp.” But Ann instantly realized how perfect it is for babies’ spitting up: half burp, half barf.

As it turns out, BARP is also a common acronym for “blood and role-playing” games. And at least one other person has seen the gastrointestinal possibilities of the word, submitting barp to the Unwords Dictionary. But we think it’s going to get a lot of mileage in our household.

    Too cute. It’s always been called “urp” at our house.
