- Watched CAT BALLOU last night, and I think it was the first time EVER that I watched the whole movie without my binky, and it was a TOTALLY DIFFERENT MOVIE without my binky! Oddly, I don't remember ever having a binky, but I know I did, as most kids do... Either THAT, or I was craving my binky the first time I watched it, but it still goes great with pretzels dipped in ice cream. I think my mom called it a 'ninny' though, and everybody has a pet name for the 'pacifier' apparently, but it comes down to empathy and recognizing when another person is under duress... - Nat King Cole's last film I believe, as he died in 1965. WORD? 'Rubber-Baby-Buggy-Bumper', AKA 'PACIFIER' or 'Binky', 'Ninny' or any other slang term used to denote a synthetic nipple generally used in the process of weaning a child from breast milk; rubber or not. In crass adulthood, may or may not be synonymous with the noun 'BALL-GAG' or 'FEDERAL GAG ORDER'. Use appropriately. (Say THAT five times, fast!) ...
