Stanley Unwin was an engineer at the BBC. He developed unwinese as a fun way to tell his children stories. It was inspired by knitting patterns, and also when his mother told him of when she fell over:
I came home and saw mum in a distressed condition and I said “Mother what happened?” She said “I fallollopped in front of a tram.” I said “Mother, you may fall, and you may flop, but there’s no verb to fallollop.” She said “Well I fallollopped and grazed my kneeclappers!” - Stanley Unwin
A young BBC producer called Peter Cairns heard him speak Unwinese to his children “once a polly-tito…” and he thought it was funny. He asked Unwin to make him laugh, and so Stanley Unwin told him how to make an omelette in Unwinese. From then on he has been in popular radio and TV shows
