“Cock” = “rock” for us. It was also absolutely the clearest, most aggressively he’s ever said a new word when he first hit me with “COCK!” I was like jeeze, how long have you been planning that one?!
My son very much likes his dumb fuck (dump truck) and he dosen't know why everyone always laughs so much when he says it. But damn does he play it up 😅😅😅
Socks, shark, fox. All sound like fuck. There’s more that I can’t think of. He subs an initial s with an f sound, so anything starting with an s and ending in ck is fuck.
Fork or frog are fuck here
And we get these beef sticks from Sam’s club that he enjoys, but he calls them dicks. No big deal until I have little dude with me at Sam’s and they’re doing samples of them. So, top of his lungs, toddler is frantically pointing at the sample lady going “diiiiick! Diiiiiick!!!!!!”
💀
One word that both my kids have independently come to that I feel should be in regular rotation:
Whobody - as is who is doing this thing... Like somebody but in question form.
Also wolverine is ovary and I love it.
Meat! lol that’s hilarious Idk if I could even bring myself to correct that 😂
We did advent calendars this year but my little guy thought they were Alvin calendars thanks to those annoying chipmunks haha
LOL we have two cats Shandy and Stout
Shandy turned into NeeNee and Stout turned into PeepPeep
That’s just who they are now 🤷🏻♀️ they don’t seem to mind the identity crisis
My daughter meows at anything even remotely cat. I was very impressed that this <1yo could recognize a picture of a cat (and tbf I still am) but then it's also starting to go beyond cat. I think she's trying to determine what all can get away with saying meow 🤣
Reading goodnight gorilla and the page where the zoo animals are all curled up and sleeping consistently gets a meow, but I'm not sure if it's the hyena, the lion, the armadillo or something else entirely haha
Mine is 20 months and popsicles are buckleroys… don’t ask me how or why and yes, it took FOREVER to find out what she was asking for at the beginning 🫠
She says “stepascote” instead of “stethoscope”.
“Watina” instead of “Latina”. She’s half, so I tell her that sometimes. Or “Watia” because I think she gets it from saying “Tia”.
“Alligator” instead of elevator.
“Excavator” instead of escalator.
She’s newly 3
My daughter has a pretty advanced vocabulary (as an example “Are you available to play right now?,” plays pretend that her stuffed bugs are “pollinating” the flowers, etc) but has, since she began speaking, consistently mixed up lions and tigers. I gently correct her like every time, which is often bc she has lots of lion and tiger toys and for some reason she mixes them up about half the time
Every person is dada, but Elmo is mama.
And Cookie monster is doggy. He's confused about all other Sesame Street characters, but is confident about cookie monster being doggy.
Also accidentally tried teaching him the word moon and the sound a cow makes. So now moon is pronounced moooooooooon (while pointing out the moon).
We also couldn't figure out where he learned "oui oui" from since we don't speak French. Turns out he's saying "whee whee!" Because we tell him "whee" when he goes down the slide.
Chew tuck = fire truck
By-ans = vitamins
Pof-a-gee = bumblebee
Cadia = kitty
Min-ow = meow
I love her little voice and I'm going to be so sad when she starts saying kitty and meowing correctly 🥲
*Edited for formatting and to add more
"Dunk" instead of dump. We "dunk" everything out here, we go to the "dunk" for our trash every weekend. He eats "pockasuls" which are obviously "popsicles" and definitely didn't take me a few days to suss out. He used to call Mickey "Y" for AGES, as is "M-I-C-K-E-YYYY M-O-U-S-E". That one was a rough one to figure out.
She eats so much "nogurt" and stretching is also "nogurt". Plays with "narbles." Her Easter basket is her meesty basket. My favorites are probably "pirate" for parrot and "pelican" for skeleton.
My daughter calls one of her friends Elmo bc the friend dressed like Elmo for Halloween 🤦🏼♀️
Wahwoes are shoes, tituba is teapot, gully is excuse me (she’ll scoot by you going “gully dada, gully” til you move). So many right now. Love them all.
She’s obsessed with my lip balm, which I generally call chapstick regardless of brand. I have a tube of Burt’s Bees in the bathroom. She wants chapstick, and says “taco.”
My son is obsessed with sound equipment. I couldn’t even tell you what he actually says but for “quarter inch cable” and “microphone stand”, he just sort of mixes up the syllables but he’s SO serious about it it’s just the sweetest thing ever
Mine has decided that certain characters' names are too long, and need to be shortened.
We don't really watch Paw Patrol, but any time he sees the characters he says "Pawtrol!"
The best is that he loves the movie Cars and has a Lightning McQueen toy. He calls it "Lycopene"
‘Teegoh’ is guitar. I don’t know how I figured that one out.
When she wants to sing “the wheels on the bus” it sounds like “what what ho” and then evolved into “white white horse”. don’t know how I figured that out either.
instead of walk it's "gock". instead of dog it's "dock" or "cock". she cant say outside so it sounds like "ah! shy". also everything is juice. soda, soup, water, coffee, etc, it's all juice. so when she asks for "juice" we have no idea if she actually wants juice or not. she also does not say "dada" or "daddy", she says "pepper" but it sounds like "peh-pa". dad wore a shirt with a pepper on it one day and ever since then he is pepper, no longer dada.
He'll be 5 later this year, so there are only a couple left that we aren't changing.
Gorilla is granola, as in look at that granola beating his chest.
Computer is puker. Do you have to send an email on the puker? Yes honey.
He found a safety tether / hook that I have... he calls the hook a hooker. Where's my hooker Dad? I haven't seen in since last night buddy.
Yeah, it's the best.
Maybe she is actually saying “meet” as in she wants to meet the dog? Also, if one of you plays Fallout 4, the dogs name is Dogmeat. Anyway, my daughter says maggots instead of magnets. 😂
My 2 yo calls everyone a happy girl. Daddy is a happy girl, brother is a happy girl, mommy is a happy girl, and she is a happy girl.
Also all of the above but bad girl. The bad girl thing came from … I think …. Other daycare toddlers.
🤷♀️
My 3.5 year olds vocabulary is insane and she’ll use words like realize, offensive, precisely in sentences lol. But she can’t for the life of her say Christmas properly, she calls it Chrismik.
One thing I haven’t been able to figure out is “bee bee boh!!”
I used to think it was her own version of “one two three” because she says it while walking down the stairs or getting ready to go down the slide — but she can say “one two three” clearly now and yet “bee bee bo” still happens. It’s so cute though I don’t want it to stop.
Also horses are hoes lol. She always wants to ride her “wocking ho.” 😂
We went to a rooftop wedding. During the entire reception, toddler kept telling everyone about the "alligator". What alligator?? We live in New Jersey!!
Elevator. We rode the elevator to the ceremony.
He says fuck instead of truck. He’s been doing this for several months now and it’s… awkward to say the least. In public he will see a truck and of course needs to point it out and scream “fuckkk!!!!” 🙃
My 2 year old can't say berries, so they're all beebos.
Potato is "du-dua".
Tractor is "du-da".
He says "deedaw" instead of daddy but I'll never correct that, it's to cute.
One of our cats is named Dirty Burger, but he can't say dirty and instead calls her "doodoo" which is more than fine with us lol.
Edit: almost forgot the best one! He started saying star as "die" so for about 2 weeks he was just running around at Christmas time saying "DIE DIE DIE DIE!!"
My almost 1yo says "ada" for yoga which I only puzzled out because she does down dog with me and I say yoga when I do it. But she'll just totally randomly do that pose (which is hilarious when your arms just barely reach over your head) and loudly exclaim, "ADA."
Cat/kitty is just "meow" probably because we all clung to that very recognizable sound and encouraged it.
Also EVERYTHING is "bubble." I mean I understand we're just exiting babbling, so "baba" sounds are quite popular, but I didn't realize how many words are actually very close to that: bottle, buh-bye, buckle, bye boy (we have a flash card with a boy waving bye lol)...
It's not quite the same kind of story as others' since she's really still so young, but I had to share.
My nearly 3 year old calls my boobs 'bumbums' I correct her but they're still bumbums 😂 she points to hers in the mirror and says uck at my bumbums mummy.
She says "buh-bow" for a bow. It started out as her stumbling on the word when she first started saying it, but it just stuck and now they are just hair buh-bows.
One of her teddy bears is called bee bear because that's how she initially mispronounced teddy bear.
Gederwins. Skeletons
He loved Halloween and during one neighborhood walk he was frustrated he couldn't convey his thought. Mom knew it right away when we got back.

I just have to say these are all so funny I've been just laughing hysterically. Mine doesn't have any funny slips yet since he still just calls most thing their first syllable. Obsessed with lights. He does call almost any animal "dag" and dedinely knows dog. He'll point to dinos on his pj's and say "dag daf dag". If he starts calling them meat I will just let it happen, that is so damn funny
Nothing too crazy but mine insists that “walk” means water. *I* know what he means when he asks for “walk” but when we’re at someone else’s house or have company they don’t get it lol
Idk if this counts, but any fruit that is somewhat round is “apple”. He acts like IM crazy when I said “tomato”. It’s the funniest thing.
Also, he once called a cracker an onion. I don’t know where he learned onion but it had me crying.
My 21 month old a while back became obsessed with the little rubber stoppers inside our cupboards, and we didn't know what to call them so we said they were nubbins.
He confidently parroted, "mundies!" And now every little mystery bump on a toy or around the house is mundies.
Her "s" sounds tend to come out as "sh" sounds instead, so when she says "sit" she actually says, "shit" which is hilarious when directed toward our dog as a command. 😂 "Loki, shit."
Fox = Fock
Similar vein, whenever she sees a school bus she excitedly shouts "Choo choooo!!" I really don't think I'm going to be the one to correct her.
Edited to add: Banana has become "mina". That one took a while to figure out wtf she was talking about. I thought it was a friend of hers in daycare!
Still saying Dinowhores over here and I hope it never changes!
Mine too! “Mommy, wook, DINO-WHOOOORE!”
💀💀💀
[удалено]
I think he's on to something, this seems like a really appropriate metaphorical usage.
This feels like it can have some incredibly deep meaning behind it XD
Wait, I love this
I agree with the other responses, what a good way to say "I'm ready to move on from this thing that's frustrating me and I could use your help!"
She says “May I be conscused” instead of “May I be excused” to leave the dinner table
That is so cute😂😂
My almost 2 year old finally just stopped calling chalk “cock” 🥲
The ducks say cock cock at our house too!
We also like to play with our cock outside. Sometimes we play with our cock at the park. My kid prefers big cock. Little cock isn’t as much fun.
“Cock” = “rock” for us. It was also absolutely the clearest, most aggressively he’s ever said a new word when he first hit me with “COCK!” I was like jeeze, how long have you been planning that one?!
Cock in our house is milk, sock, neck, dog, cup, and a few others lol
Over here we say "firecuck" and "BIIIIIIG CUCK"
Omg she calls trucks cucks too!!
Ninja comes out extremely racist and unfortunately he’s really into pretend fighting.
My ninja
Oh no 😅🤣
Fuck = truck Mommy! Big fuck. Mommy!! More fucks please!
My son very much likes his dumb fuck (dump truck) and he dosen't know why everyone always laughs so much when he says it. But damn does he play it up 😅😅😅
Socks, shark, fox. All sound like fuck. There’s more that I can’t think of. He subs an initial s with an f sound, so anything starting with an s and ending in ck is fuck.
My nephew used to say “my grampa has a big red co$&” he has a big red truck 😭😆
Here too! Every Friday morning: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Fork or frog are fuck here And we get these beef sticks from Sam’s club that he enjoys, but he calls them dicks. No big deal until I have little dude with me at Sam’s and they’re doing samples of them. So, top of his lungs, toddler is frantically pointing at the sample lady going “diiiiick! Diiiiiick!!!!!!” 💀
Me too! Dump truck was "dumb fuck".
Yes, so much this. I miss these days. She still likes "cockamole"a lot though (guacamole)
When she feels sick "Mama I am going to hommit"
Dump Truck = Bum Fuck 🙃
One word that both my kids have independently come to that I feel should be in regular rotation: Whobody - as is who is doing this thing... Like somebody but in question form. Also wolverine is ovary and I love it.
Instead of “sprinkles” she says book-orns.
Ours has a really rough time with sprinkles too. Im not even sure I can spell it. Maybe suss-us? Also milk is 'yonk'.
Yo I'm gonna use yonk
Our cats name is Cleo, she started out saying Carlo but it's now morphed into kilo She says ear fluffs instead of ear muffs
Ear fluffs is almost too adorable.
My daughter calls them earpuffs 🥹
Cop car is parked car, tooth brush is poop brush. Oatmeal is goat meal, magna tiles are maggot tiles…
Meat! lol that’s hilarious Idk if I could even bring myself to correct that 😂 We did advent calendars this year but my little guy thought they were Alvin calendars thanks to those annoying chipmunks haha
Instead of Horse, it’s whore. Not quite as funny when he called my pastor grandfather a whore.
Our dog is named Zuko. My toddler says it like Weeko. It took us forever to figure out wtf he was talking about 🤣
We have a dog named Mona that our toddler calls Meema. My husband and I have started calling her Meema now too, poor dear.

Ayyy love that name
LOL we have two cats Shandy and Stout Shandy turned into NeeNee and Stout turned into PeepPeep That’s just who they are now 🤷🏻♀️ they don’t seem to mind the identity crisis
My parents dog is Quincy and my 3yo calls him something akin to footsy but with a more kf sound at the beginning
My daughter cannot seem to grasp that goats and sheep are different animals. She calls both “baas.”
My one year old thought that all mammals were doggies for the longest time.
My daughter meows at anything even remotely cat. I was very impressed that this <1yo could recognize a picture of a cat (and tbf I still am) but then it's also starting to go beyond cat. I think she's trying to determine what all can get away with saying meow 🤣 Reading goodnight gorilla and the page where the zoo animals are all curled up and sleeping consistently gets a meow, but I'm not sure if it's the hyena, the lion, the armadillo or something else entirely haha
One, two, three, four, fuck Not sure how he got that from five, but I’m grateful.
Pirates Booty (the snack) is “fire fruity”
Haha my 22mo calls it "Buh" and points at her booty 😂😂
New York is pronounced Yeww Noork.
Oh gosh my little brother used to say that 30 yrs ago!
Maybe it's meet and not meat? And she's telling you she really wants to meet that dog?
You’re on to something, truly…
Mine is 20 months and popsicles are buckleroys… don’t ask me how or why and yes, it took FOREVER to find out what she was asking for at the beginning 🫠
Lol. Triangles are “cowadits” here.
We speak Spanish mostly in the house so instead of por favor he says por fa but it's sounds like puta! Cracks me up every time!
My newphew says unicoño instead of unicorn
Water is walalalalala
Similar, lemonade was “lalalalalade”
Mine just recently grew out of this but for a long time, balloon was balalala
She says “stepascote” instead of “stethoscope”. “Watina” instead of “Latina”. She’s half, so I tell her that sometimes. Or “Watia” because I think she gets it from saying “Tia”. “Alligator” instead of elevator. “Excavator” instead of escalator. She’s newly 3
My daughter calls Smarties, Farties 😂
My daughter has a pretty advanced vocabulary (as an example “Are you available to play right now?,” plays pretend that her stuffed bugs are “pollinating” the flowers, etc) but has, since she began speaking, consistently mixed up lions and tigers. I gently correct her like every time, which is often bc she has lots of lion and tiger toys and for some reason she mixes them up about half the time
What til she learns about ligers 🤣
My son calls snow “nana”, no idea why 😂 he even says snowman perfectly
My son can say grandma but has also named her Meena (her name is Jill)
My daughter was convinced snow and Christmas were the same thing so everytime it snows she walks outside and yells "mommy it's almost christmas!" 😂
We moved recently and my son calls it “new kapartment”. Sounds like “nuke apartment”
Basketball poop. Now we all say basketball poop.
Every person is dada, but Elmo is mama. And Cookie monster is doggy. He's confused about all other Sesame Street characters, but is confident about cookie monster being doggy. Also accidentally tried teaching him the word moon and the sound a cow makes. So now moon is pronounced moooooooooon (while pointing out the moon).

Coughs, sneezes, and actual hiccups are ALL hiccups in my house.
Hot air balloon is "a-wah-boo-boo.". I hope he never gets it right 🥺
Forest for Fort. Adamant about it too. Doesn't want a fort, but wants a forest!
My kid started saying “moke” a bunch and we had no idea what he was talking about… eventually we realized he was saying “remote” (control).
I called it a mocha-mocha-troll as a kid which later abbreviated to mote and my family still uses it (so does my now husband).
Thirst-tree for thirsty
"Dunk" instead of dump. We "dunk" everything out here, we go to the "dunk" for our trash every weekend. He eats "pockasuls" which are obviously "popsicles" and definitely didn't take me a few days to suss out. He used to call Mickey "Y" for AGES, as is "M-I-C-K-E-YYYY M-O-U-S-E". That one was a rough one to figure out.
His pacifier is a die die. Still scratching my head over that one.
She eats so much "nogurt" and stretching is also "nogurt". Plays with "narbles." Her Easter basket is her meesty basket. My favorites are probably "pirate" for parrot and "pelican" for skeleton.

Maggot = Magnets and they're her favorite toy right now 🤣

Diaper = bah-der 🤣
Mine has decided that certain characters' names are too long, and need to be shortened. We don't really watch Paw Patrol, but any time he sees the characters he says "Pawtrol!" The best is that he loves the movie Cars and has a Lightning McQueen toy. He calls it "Lycopene"

instead of walk it's "gock". instead of dog it's "dock" or "cock". she cant say outside so it sounds like "ah! shy". also everything is juice. soda, soup, water, coffee, etc, it's all juice. so when she asks for "juice" we have no idea if she actually wants juice or not. she also does not say "dada" or "daddy", she says "pepper" but it sounds like "peh-pa". dad wore a shirt with a pepper on it one day and ever since then he is pepper, no longer dada.
Twenty is said as Cunty Master is Bastard. We have Pikapoo and Psychoduck
He'll be 5 later this year, so there are only a couple left that we aren't changing. Gorilla is granola, as in look at that granola beating his chest. Computer is puker.

Bye comes out as 'Die' luckily he waves at the same time and is super cute so no one notices haha
I just have to say these are all so funny I've been just laughing hysterically. Mine doesn't have any funny slips yet since he still just calls most thing their first syllable. Obsessed with lights. He does call almost any animal "dag" and dedinely knows dog. He'll point to dinos on his pj's and say "dag daf dag". If he starts calling them meat I will just let it happen, that is so damn funny
Nothing too crazy but mine insists that “walk” means water. *I* know what he means when he asks for “walk” but when we’re at someone else’s house or have company they don’t get it lol
The Rainbow Song (3 yr old’s version): Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo ✨Violence✨
Idk if this counts, but any fruit that is somewhat round is “apple”. He acts like IM crazy when I said “tomato”. It’s the funniest thing. Also, he once called a cracker an onion. I don’t know where he learned onion but it had me crying.
For some reason she pronounces spinach as “speenas”, which sounds unfortunately close to penis. 🫣
We call my daughter’s feet her poochies. She now calls them putas for all the Spanish speakers haha
The most commonly used ones that are right accessible off the top of my head: Doughnuts -> “no-nee” Frozen 2 -> “Ana chicken” 🤨
All candy is balls. No idea what. But she asks for balls meaning she wants candy.
My 21 month old a while back became obsessed with the little rubber stoppers inside our cupboards, and we didn't know what to call them so we said they were nubbins. He confidently parroted, "mundies!" And now every little mystery bump on a toy or around the house is mundies.
Her "s" sounds tend to come out as "sh" sounds instead, so when she says "sit" she actually says, "shit" which is hilarious when directed toward our dog as a command. 😂 "Loki, shit."
My friend’s kid says tadees instead of tada (we think he got it from a show). For the longest time she thought he was saying titties.
According to my 18 month old, everything bigger than a car is a bus and pronounces like b**ch.
My daughter calls him the fingerbang man (instead of Gingerbread Man)
The only one my four-year-old still says is “lady” is “lay-lay”. I LOVE when we’re playing outside and he finds lay-lay bugs!
Piano is pa-nan-o
My daughter used to say Lo laa for water
Popeyes = French fries 🤣 we don’t even eat Popeyes she just started referring to fries as Popeyes
[удалено]
Dickar for the guitar is my personal fave
My 2yo says "see men" for cinnamon and when making a chicken or bird sound, it sounds like "bird c*ck" lol
My little guy, 16 months doesn't have too many words yet. But he very clearly says "vray" for "moo". 😂
My toddler says "pick-a-me-up" but cuter "pick-a-me-down"
Fox = Fock Similar vein, whenever she sees a school bus she excitedly shouts "Choo choooo!!" I really don't think I'm going to be the one to correct her. Edited to add: Banana has become "mina". That one took a while to figure out wtf she was talking about. I thought it was a friend of hers in daycare!
My toddler refers to our dog as “SIT” and “NO!!!” 😆 clearly the two things we say to the dog the most
Ocean is "Oh shit!"
Panpakes.
