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.
