If you’ve spent any time around kids, if they're yours or a friends, you’ve probably noticed how creative they can be with the English language. They come up with their own terms for things, which often end up being better than the original name. The best part is, the kids don’t know they’re using the “wrong” name and their parents love it.
These are some of the best.
