We always called those things binkies or a fooler, first time I ever heard someone call it a dummy.
That so cute Nil!!

Nil it's not a bad word at all!! You use what ever word you want for it. Mik and I was just having a laugh at different words people use for things.
You don't have to be sorry for anything

Soo cute!! Not a bad word at all.. we call them 'dummys' here. Although more American words are creeping into the Aussie vocabulary and I've heard some here call them 'pacifiers'. Binkie is another word.
Has anyone got those toy dummy beads? My 2 love them! Going to by some more. Maybe Lazaros would like them?

Nil, there are many words that have the same meaning in the english language. It confuses me sometimes. haha.
This is a dummy/pacifier/binkie bead... you can get tiny little ones or big ones..
