We all know that kids say the funniest and craziest things sometimes; their young brains haven't been conditioned to follow our narrow rules of speech just yet so they quite often just name things as their creative brains see fit.
And you know what? A vast majority of the time, kids' made-up names for things actually make more sense, are much funnier and more descriptive than the originals could ever wish to be. Ice cubes? Nah, that'll be water bricks, please!
In the list below, you'll get a new perspective on things that we have been taught not to notice. Only the pure, unsullied minds of kids could come up with these poetic observations! Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and feel free to add your own in the comments!

The battle unicorns in Black Panther was one of my favorite parts!

That would have made a great cartoon - alongside "The Transformers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
My daughter at 5 yo wanted a "down dress". Could not figure out what she meant until walking through a clothing store. A manequin was dressed in a floor length dress. That was the down dress bc it went down to the floor!
I suspect I'm going to like everything on this thread! Because Battle Unicorn is just so...right!
"Battle unicorn" that is actually the most amazing and powerful combination of words that normally don't belong together. Battle unicorn, I have to keep that in mind...
if it is a 1 horn rhino the kid is not wrong there scientific name is Rhinoceros unicornis.
yes yes yes they do like they are ready to do battle so yes the best description ever.
My brother called the cemetery “the place where dead people live.”
My daughter looked outside one foggy morning and immediately informed me that it was “blurry out” ....... never forgot that and I’m now 72 years old!
My favorite will always be my daughter's name for Brussels Sprouts-Barbie Cabbages! She also referred to the pieces of cooked broccoli as clouds and trees. She preferred the texture of clouds.
My son called an aeroplane an 'angabang' but he also called a calculator a 'cocolighter', he kept asking for the latter - it took me a through a process of elimination and some hours before I found 'it' for him !!! Eureka ! was something I yelled ?
We had light dimmer switches in our house when my daughter was little and one day whilst driving on a bright day she asked me to "turn down the sun". She called watches clockwitches and pimples nipples!
My sister says ‘over yar’ instead of ‘over there’ and it’s hilarious
My daughter always called skunks STUNKS. She was 10 years old when someone finally corrected her!
I have a t-shirt with a picture of a rhino on it, but the wording underneath says "Save the Chubby Unicorn".
Same thing: you have to shave them at some point or they'll grow
guess I am a book looker now, totally like it more than reader and bookworm.
When I was a kid I used to call beer or wine daddy's pop. Pop is what the Irish call soda.
When I was at school, with 7 yo, i was studying sea stuff for an exam. Our word for cave in "ensenada" and I started saying "ensaimada" that is a pastry-candy. Mother didnt correct me. The teacher corrected me in the oral exam and everyone laught, was pretty cruel cause I really tought I was doing it right. I got really mad with my mother for not correcting me.
When my granddaughter was playing on my bed and I asked why it was now a mess and she told me it wasn't a mess, it was a "Disasterpiece". I no longer have messes in my home.
Disasterpiece, I like that. And every child is certainly a happy child when they create a disasterpiece :)

We used to have Frozen-themed band-aids about two years ago. My daughter is now 4-years-old now, and she still asks for an "Olaf" whenever she has a scrape.
My 2-year-old heard her dad farting and she created her very first self-made word: "poo-bang" (in Hungarian kaka-puff) because a fart smells like poo and sounds like a bang :) logic at its finest
I love kaka-puff much more that poo-bang, even in English!

My brother called his uvula a "Throat Weenie" because he didn't know the actual name. He was 7. Thank god my parents had a talk with him about the actual name of it and why he shouldn't call it that. 😑
According to my grandmother, my father renamed strawberries "star babies." They've been star babies to everybody in my family since.
I have absolutely how this misunderstanding happened...but my son used to call the stalks of strawberries or tomatoes pubes. We were at church charity picnic when he asked a lady to "take the pubes off his strawberries for him" I can still see the look on her face.
In the bath one evening my then 2 year old son referred to his toes as 'foot babies'.
My 4 yo daughter correcting her 2 yo brother on facial features- theses are ‘eyeflashes’ and these are ‘eye browns ‘
My brother also used to say "eye browns" when he was young, and my son called shoulders "soldiers", and also said "camera-flashed" meaning camouflaged.

When my daughter was two years old she referred to fried eggs as pop belly eggs and the pizza delivery car as thecpizza taxi
My daughter used to call sanitary pads “bum bandaids”, my brother used to call trifle “lergic” and when I was younger I used to call baked beans “beetle brains”.
I think half of these are made up by the parents... Really? I little kid came up with "pride cheerios?" I don't think so...
I can believe it if the parents had already been referring to things they saw with rainbows on as 'Pride . . . whatever'. Many families care about or are involved in the Pride movement, so it can be a common topic of conversation or reference.

When I was little I called mushrooms "boom booms." It stuck in my family and one day my mom mentioned cooking something with "boom boom soup" in front of my husband and he will forever stick with that.

When I was about 10 and she was about 6, my neighbor's daughter used to call her knuckles 'nipples', which I found out when she'd told me she'd 'skinned her nipples'.
My daughter would call the remote control "mope" so that's what I ended calling it every time, to this day ... better than "moken troll" ...
Mine would call it the "mote" at 17 months. She'd point to it and say the word "mote@ and you were supposed to know to turn the tv on to Barney.

Without sounding waaay to cheesy (whatever) I JUST LOOOOVE KIDS and the way they express themself before the world around them starts to correct them (usually in school) I make up words myself all the time and very few people around me even ask me what I mean, just assuming that I have to keep myself to the dictionary. ... Love ya all!!!
My daughter couldn't pronounce 'certificate' and called it a 'sticky foot' . My son called triangles 'tri-nangles' and I was sooo sad when he learned the correct pronunciation.
Kid I used to watch fell down one day and caught himself with his hands. He then announced that his "hand-neck" hurt and I haven't referred to them as wrists since.
My son has loads of these! The remote is the "didoo" because when he was about 18 months old, he started miming pressing it at the TV if he wanted a programme on and as he pressed the pretend remote he repeated "didoo, didoo!" as the TV we had at the time made that kind of noise when you turned it on. His latest one is "Mama tubes" which are tampons.
My daughter when she was 6 instead of last night she would say yesternight😂😂
That is actually not incorrect, if we say yesterday...

Why do these people want their child not to be corrected? They will do it into adulthood thinking it's cute. No Karen, it's not cute when you say "Gubble Bum", you're 42.
I love all of these. When my grandchildren were little they called the lawn maintenance guys the "mow yards". They are now 27 & 29 years old, and my 2 great grand babies call them "the mow yards", as well as their parents & grandparents, great grandparents, and and their aunts & uncles.

My favorite is my son calling Parmesean Cheese "Spaghetti Sprinkles". He saw it online somewhere in some meme and where we used to call it "shaky cheese", it's now and forever "Spaghetti Sprinkles"
Not sure if it was me or my brother who started it, but "Sketti" (spaghetti), pissa (pizza), and "adult-juice" (anything with alcohol) are still used today - and there are many more, but they don't make sense when translated from Norweegian ;-)

We have a chair that matches our couch. Oh 5 year old called it the mini-couch one day and we've called it mini-couch ever since.
We used to twirl my son around in the office chair and when the chair stopped he's say "I'm busy, I'm busy." It was never foggy outside..it was froggy outside. He used to ask us where certain people were.."Where's Dad?" "Dad's not here, Dad's at work." "Where is Grandpa?" "Grandpa's not here, Grandpa's at work." One day he saw a Uhaul with a picture of a Tiger on it as we left our apartment parking lot. "Mom look Tiger! Mom look Tiger!" When we returned later and the Uhaul was gone, he said "Tiger's gone. Tiger's at work." Well he wasn't wrong.
