I especially love when that language gets used so much that it becomes second nature, and you accidently use the language in conversation with people outside your family. Then, the people you're conversing with get confused.
That's basically what happened when I first met the Bradfords... but I like to think I have their language down by now.

Beast [beest]
- noun: "Don't be a beast."
- verb: "Don't beast it open." or "Daniel beasted William into the wall."
