pasghetti
Child's dinner word
Pasghetti is a child's mispronunciation of spaghetti, often preserved affectionately by parents or used humorously among adults.
The word captures how young children simplify consonant clusters they find difficult to articulate: Do we have any pasghetti?
Adults may use it playfully or nostalgically.
