There are some things you don’t want to correct for fear they will stop saying it. I have adopted my daughter’s word for instructions around the house. One of these days I am going to slip and tell my students to follow the instrutchkins.My niece was about 3, and for no reason we can figure out, she called binoculars nocular-eyes. We now use it as a verb, “I’m going to nocularize that hillside for deer before we move over the ridge.” And as a noun, “grab your noculareyes off the counter before we go.”
