These 40 Alternate Names for Common Things That Kids Invented Will Crack You Up
Adults wanted to share the laughs by posting these alternate names on Twitter.
Kids have a way of renaming everyday things in the funniest possible way, and their logic is often better than the original word. A simple object can turn into something wildly specific, and somehow it still makes perfect sense.
This roundup pulls together 40 alternate names for common things that adults shared online, all invented by children with big imaginations and tiny vocabularies. Some are close to the real term, while others are completely off the wall in the best way.
From a “hot ball” to “secret diarrhea,” these kid-made names are the kind of thing you remember forever.
