What weird names did you give things as a kid when you didn't know the real name? - Lemmy.World

In Super Mario Bros, I called fire bars (those rotating fire thingies in castles) “fire spankers”. A friend called Goombas “chicken nugget heads”.

I used to call a zebra a “pajama horse” and squirrel monkeys “fireplace monkeys”.
How do I remember this? Because my mom still likes to bring this up, every single chance she gets 🤦‍♀️
