sprogs
Children, in Britain
Sprogs is British and Australian slang for children, especially one's own kids: I've got to pick up the sprogs from school.
The singular sprog can also mean a new recruit or inexperienced person, particularly in military contexts.
The term is informal and mildly affectionate rather than dismissive.
