Having two older sisters helps one's vocabulary I have learned, but it also tends to confuse things. At first, we could say to the Newbie, "Do you have stinky?" or "Are you stinky?" and she would point to her behind if she was indeed stinky. Sometimes she would point if we weren't even asking but needed a diaper change. Now if you ask her about the stinky, she reaches between her legs and pulls at the diaper in the crotch region like Madonna or, dare I say it, Michael Jackson?! We think she's trying to pull the diaper off, but who knows? I can't wait until she does it in public.
Also, if you ask her where her butt is, she usually points to it (Thanks, Doodle!). However, she's been walking around asking for "butt" recently. You open the fridge and she starts getting exited, "Butt Butt Butt!" She walks around agitated, trying to get your attention, "Butt, butt, butt!" We've tried to get her to point, to no avail. Best we can tell, butt refers to milk and/or food. Pork butt, anyone? Another mystery. Also fun in public.
All of this language confusion behavior seems to fit her personality. She's in a nude streaking phase, loves to take off her shoes and socks, and if she can get her clothes off she also rips her diaper off. You can tell when it is starting because she unzips her footie pajamas and walks around like Elvis first. I've taken to double onesies during the day to thwart her, but with spring approaching I'm going to need a new plan. T-shirts don't always come off, but the pants do--sometimes with a little help from her sisters.

LOL!!! Too funny! We have a similar problem with Hayden. She is like a baby Houdini with her clothes! She takes them off faster than we can put them on. We have started cutting the feet off of her pajamas and putting them on backwards at naps and bedtime. This stops her from stripping and soiling herself and bed. Not sure what we'll do during the summer!
