What's your best "wrong name" story?

We had 'path crust' for curb

DD1 used call oven gloves ‘hand hotters’. It’s 7 years later & we still call them that!

My nephew used to call tears eye drips 😊

My nephew used to call a cup tea a ‘tup of tup’.
We still call a cup of tea a tuppy if me and DH are just talking to each other.

Nephew is 31 and a father of two now.

‘Breadcircles’ for tortilla wraps. We don’t call them anything else in this house now and occasionally we forget and say it to other people too

'nipple pants' for bra is still my top favourite, courtesy of DS aged about 3.

iSiTbEdTiMeYeT1 path crust! That is so so cute!
DD used to call pillows 'head lions'. Sea lions were 'ghosts' for some reason

One of my sisters used to call quiche, bacon and egg and pie.

Onioning me- annoying me
Rhinos-urinals
Piggy mix-pick and mix

Oh forgot booby vest -bra

DD2 recently changed Dijon mustard to Jesus Custard....obviously, that’s stuck as it’s bloody brilliant!

I once hurt my thumb but not the thumb bit, the part of my palm and I couldn't think how to describe it and I told my mum it was my chicken drumstick!

DD used to call (well we still all do) injections/blood tests "pinch-eys"

DD has referred to large puddles as "floodage". Which i think is rather sweet. She had just turned 7.

My 2 year old called me over in a panic the other day to tell me he'd done a "mouth toot", by which I think he meant he'd burped

My son calls his fishing gut (fishing line) his fishing stomach 😂

My daughter when little (now 22)was crying because she'd banged her foot finger! (toe). My son, when in reception always used to ask if we could cross with 'the lady pop' I still say that now when I see one!

Dd is 22 months and any meal is called tea-ready! We know when she's hungry because she goes and sits at the table shouting tea ready tea ready. Very cute

I have had a really crap week and reading this thread has really made me smile!

DS asked for his "listening ears". He wanted headphones. We still say it over a year later.

A student I was talking to (English not first language) called a shetland pony a "compressed horse"

A lady my dad was teaching to swim forgot the word for toes and called them "foot fingers"

I use them both now.

My wee boy fell and hurt his bum-elbows (hip!) hee hee

Apparantly when I was first given cola as a child, I drank it too quickly and then complained I was all fuzzed up.
Dgs1 has a fleece blanket which he simply calls orange, dgs2's is called 'red' by the adults and x's blanket by dgs1.
Giraffes will always be known to my family as waffas, courtesy of dgs1

Egg mellow instead of egg mayonnaise
