One commonly used slang term for "children" is "kids." This term originated in the 17th century and originally referred to a young goat. The use of "kids" as slang for "children" didn't start until the late 19th century. It's believed to be drawn from the playful and energetic nature of young goats. Over time, this term has become widely accepted and is now used casually in many parts of the world. Isn't it fascinating how language evolves?
