For context I’m asking this question to know what the first thing that the good people of the internet said. I’ll go first. My first word was SpongeBob because my parents played that a lot for me

I have always wished my first word would have been "quote," so that on my deathbed, my final word could be "unquote."

Ment Mix. I loved construction vehicles as a kid, and kept seeing the cement mixers from the fillup station down the road.

I don't know mine but one of my best friends baby brother's first word was "Potato" much to his mother's chagrin.
The reason it was potato is because we were really into potato guns at the time and so we'd carry around potatoes. We thought it was funny to rub the potatoes on the baby's head and say "potato potato". The baby always laughed when we did it so we did it more. And thus, his first word was potato.
For those who don't know what a potato gun is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nURmzkZguwU[1][2]

"Uh oh" - the story goes every time I crawled toward the cat food bowl my parents would say "Uh oh!" and pick me up, until I eventually became my own alarm bell whenever I crawled that direction.

My first word was “dada”, but if my Dada is to be believed, my first full sentence was apparently “Yippee Ki Yay Motherfucker” because he thought I was too young to understand TV and watched Die Hard while hanging out with me. (I admit this sounds and could be fake but it’s what I was told)
