ouchies
Scrapes and bruises
Ouchies is childish or playful slang for minor injuries—scrapes, bruises, small cuts.
Parents use it with children: Let me kiss your ouchies.
Adults use it humorously to downplay pain or mock their own minor suffering: I have ouchies from yesterday's workout.
The singular ouchie works the same way.
