Kids V Children

Do you call children 'kids' or 'children'?
I find 'Kids' patronising to 'children'.

 

i dont say either i just kick them out of my way

 

So you call Children 'them'? Interesting.

 

Kids. Growling out "children" doesn't have the same effect.

Kids! Get ova ere ya mongrels kids ill bloody beat tha lottya!

 

"motherfuckers."



really, i use both words. i think i probably say kids a little more often.

 

It depends on how formal the situation

 

i use both terms.... but kids are actually goats

Informally, I call them kids. Formally, I call them children.

 

Sometimes I even call them my babies.

 

One young goat is a kid. A group of goats is called a herd, tribe or trip.

You could say it like a rather strict live-in Australian nanny looking after some adopted aboriginal children...

Children! Get ova ere ya mongrels Children ill bloody beat tha lottya!'

 

Vertically-challenged people.

 

you know I really dont know which I use.. I think kids? I do know that if you want to patronize a girl at a bar start calling her kiddo.. they love that! lol

 

It is a deep and meaningful conundrum...

 

So I should or worded it ...a individual kid is the offspring of a goat.....my bad

 

Personally, I call them kids. But very vaguely speaking, back in my mind, I consider kids up to 8 years of age and children from 8 to 15 years old normally. I know this is technically incorrect but its my concept, lol......

 

I was just being a child

 

That seems fair. It's just 'kids' seems a little lazy and dismissive. I might be over thinking this, tbh.

 

and I was being a kid
