If you want to hear some truly creative takes on the English language, look to the children in your life. Kids have talent for coming up with entertaining descriptors and malapropisms that 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.
