Children may not have fully mastered the ins and outs of the English language, but they certainly offer some original takes on it. In fact, some of their malapropisms and creative turns of phrase are arguably better than the correct terms.

We asked members of the HuffPost Parents Facebook community to share the funny names their kids have for various things, and received an overwhelming number of responses. Read on for a hilarious sample.
