In my family growing up, we took the line from The Grinch about him carving the roast beast. We called any kind of roast "roast beast" for my whole life. I had to work to lose that habit!
My dad tells me a story about how I used to call caterpillars "calerpitter" and he couldn't bear to correct me. And, lol, I was about 7 when a teacher at school finally told me how to say it right!
