That's my made up word for 'nephews and nieces'.

Also there should be a word for 'grown up children'/'sons and daughters', because clearly I and my brothers are not children anymore (age range 32 - 41) but my parents are kind of stuck with introducing us as their 'children'.

Yes, offspring, progeny and descendants don't sound right! English has some annoying holes given its size of vocabulary.
