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!

I swear I'm in your family.  McDonald's has always been McDon's to us, and we say roast beast too.

In terms of what other posters have mentioned, I use craptastic, craptacular, ginormous, and fugly.
Some other terms I use:
button: remote control
Booger King: Burger King
chamberpot music: chamber music, and by extension, any classical music (I actually don't mind classical, but it's not my first choice for music)
labbit: rabbit. When I was growing up, my parents and I took a vacation to Quebec. We were reading a menu in French in the window of a restaurant. My mother wanted to comment that they had rabbit. She started saying "lapin" and switched to "rabbit" mid-word - hence, labbit.
rest: to use a public restroom. This was my father's invention. He pointed out one day that most room names indicate their function: you dine in a dining room, you bathe in a bathroom, you live in a living room, etc., ergo, you rest in a restroom.
orange fluid: any alcohol that is orange/gold in color, e.g. whiskey or brandy. Can be used to refer to orange juice, but only if vodka has been added.

I used to call Seagulls "Trash Beagles" cuz we live near the coast and you'd always see them around the trash cans in supermarket parking lots and what not, and I guess I thought "Seagull" sounded like "Beagle."
But my family still calls them that - 20 years later, lol.

Cut Tom some slack on this one. This term is used for the Asian motorcycles (think speed bikes). Often.
Jack in the Crack= Jack in the box
I have more but can't think of them. I'll add later.

Not meaning to be offensive or anything....
But has anyone ever heard someone say "tarbaby" or "blue gums" when talking about black people? My mouth dropped when I first heard this old lady complain about a black man who came in my office and kind of stunk. Her phrase was "Those blue gummed, tar-babies must not believe in deoderant."

Albino
White Devil
White Demon
Casper
Honky
Cracker
Ghost
Bird S***
Blue Eyed Devil
Flat A**
Trash
WASP
whitebread/Wonder Bread
...and who can forget "gringo"...
What I've been called:
-Buckra (I just looked it up and it's Gullah for "white trash" - I never knew what it meant)
-Paste
-Pasty
-Snowflake (as in white and flaky but also it refers to a white girl with a black guy)
-KKK Girl
-white dog
-my ex used to call me "missuh" (as in master/mistress) when we'd fight
-white chocolate
-and the most hurtful to me personally is when family members ask my friends/boyfriends, "why are you with that white girl?"

When I was little, I used to mix up the words "directions" and "instructions". So I would always ask for the "indirections" or "distructions" for toys

We call them Rice Rockets in addition to Crotch Rockets. It's just part of the lingo.
