I'll give you clues the first word describes something at Xmas and the second describes the sound this makes

Re: New words

When much younger, after a walk, my daughter came out with the line "my eggs are laching".

Since then, when tired, we say we're "laching". At lease we know what it means

It's funny how those things stick and we remember them years later.

Nearly, it's Xmas tree needles and anything like corduroy or corrugated cardboard etc. (it's the noise it makes when small children scratch it) one of my kids invented those words when tiny.

My nephew had fuffylalas instead of lorries for toys!
