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":
I called it "Beetle position" instead of "Fetal position" had no idea fetal was a word:
My cousin used to call it "Intendo" instead of "Nintendo"
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".

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"

Worcestershire sauce to me will always be Worshtashasharshar sauce, that's so hard to say.

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.

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.
