Hook-and-loop fastenings are universally known by a trade name: Velcro. This seemed to my wife to demonstrate a lamentable gap in the English language, so she came up with 'statch'. Absolutely brilliant; combines the idea of 'catch' with the onomatopoeic sound of the system in action. Statched up your shoes yet?

Billy Connolly once did a sketch on this theme - words like “Getifuh” and “Yabasa”.

Nice use of onomatopoeia for a four-year old.
