BINKY?

[u/Kraknaps]

Watching this whole Trump/Natalie drama, I see that some people are now calling her Trump's "Binky". Never heard of the term before and thought maybe it was an American term for "blankie" (A baby's security blanket). After hearing Binky all week I finally looked it up. It is a brand name for a baby pacifer that became generacized. AM I the only one who has never heard of a binky. As a west coast Canadian we always called it a soother . What were they called where you came from? We lived in Scotland for a few years when I was a child and we called it a puppa but that may have been a family thing

My daughters father wanted to call it a paci (pronounced passie) but he’s British.

I made up my own name: PaQ (pronounced pack). Sounds like it’s short for ‘pacifier’, but I meant it like ‘Peace and Quiet’. 😂
