What did you call things as a kid?

I'm bored and figured I'd start a thread about the weird things you named stuff when you were a kid as it's always funny to hear about what you thought thing were called as a kid. Here are mine that I can think of.

"Star Track" instead of "Star Trek", c'mon what kid knows what trek means:

"Constructions" instead of "Instructions":

My favorite, "Radio Alarm Saw" instead of "Radial Arm Saw", I never understood why they called it "radio alarm" as it didn't have those features:

"Corns" instead of "Horns", this has to do with my being french as horns in french is "Cornes":

This one wasn't me, it was a friends kid, she said "Marshallow" instead of "Marshmellow":

Song lyrics I got wrong, "Nacho Man" instead of "Macho Man"

Song lyrics I got terribly wrong, "Everybody pants down" instead of "Everybody dance now"

Well, that's all I can think of for now, I'd like to hear what everyone else called things as a kid. :)

Only one good one comes to mind right now, but I thought the "Dukes of Hazzard" were the...
"Dukes that has it".

Gorilla cheese was my favourite sandwich.

Most of mine were song titles or lyrics. Kudos if you figure out the song.

"Come a come a come a come a come a come meteor!"

I used to think condom was short for condominium.

I called spaghetti "pasketti"

And "Worshtashasharshar sauce"

i used to double up on words or add a Y to monosyllable words or something like that. like for example, car = car car or truck = trucky and hat = hatty hat.

:oops: :P

A kid we used to babysit could not pronounce Tr. He would replace it with F.

We would die laughing when he would talk about his Daddy’s truck.

A 2 year old that wanted broccoli for breakfast! You were a unique kid indeed. :P

I used to call sriracha sauce "Rooster Sauce" because of the rooster logo. Also persimmon is one of my favourite fruits but I called it the "golden tomato that isn't a tomato" for the longest time. I also had a friend who used called the periodic table of elements the "patriotic table of elements" when we were in elementary school :rofl:
