Is the pacifier a glass knickknack, or really for a baby? What do you call it? My older son loved his binky bonk. I saw a man in the park the other day, and he said that they call his sons pacifier, Pepe'.  Some people call them Plugs. 

What does it say about us, then ?

We call them dummies!!

"Spit the pacifier." 

Doesn't describe the same sort of frustration, does it?

It's probably a bit un-pc if you go back to its origins.

The old term of  'deaf and dumb'.  

Stick something in their mouth makes them 'dumb' - unable to speak
