    What do you call the little bumps you get on your arms when you are cold?  FI made fun of me because I apparently call them something weird (I'll say what it is later).

    I also call them goosebumps. I've heard gooseflesh and/or goosepimples before, though.

    Goosebumps.  I hate when people say goosepimples (no offense!)

    Goosebumps.  When people say goosepimples it gives me the heeby-jeebies for some reason!

    goosebumps, but they're always called goose pimples in literature. Like PPs said, it gives me the heeby-jeebies.

    @MissBoPeep:  Really??  That's bizarre!  

    So, I call them chill bumps.  FI looked at me like I had 2 heads.  He'd never heard of it before!

    @FutureMrsRugbee:  

    Hahaha its not that long of a story its just a pain in the ass posting from my phone so I try to keep things short when I'm phone-posting. Condensed version: My little sister had a tumor removed when she was very little, and they told her it was a goosebump so she wouldn't be scared, but from then on she was terrified anytime someone got goosebumps because she thought they would have to go to the hospital too, so we weren't allowed to call them that any more so we didn't scare her!

    @MissBoPeep:  Oh!! That's cute but sad at the same time! I'm crying & aweing: it's so conflicting! I hope she's doing better since (it sounds like this was a a long time ago).

    I've never heard chill bumps, but that's cuter than goosebumps!  I, too, hate "goose pimples".  I just hate the word pimples in general.

    Escalofrios or you say "me puse chinita" (no accurate translation, but it's like saying I got chills).

    Lol... Goosebumps =P

    It must be a southern thing, I just asked my FI and he said chill bumps. He is from Mississippi...
