I was bought a Playmobil figure when I was little and called it Pomperina. Instantly, 'Pomperinas' became what we called all Playmobil toys. The figures are Pomperinas and they drive a Pomperina car.
I still find it slightly disconcerting when people refer to it as Playmobil.

My toddler son used to say he wanted a bobby, much to our bemusement until it transpired that he'd seen neighbour's dog Bobby doing a poo. From then on and forever more poo is bobby in our family. (Apologies to any Bobby out there!)

This insult is our new favourite thing and we hope to see it enter the dictionary next year.
My youngest son when about 3 used the general purpose insult of "Mr Pantsycord". Years later we realised it was from Toy Story where Mr Potato Head sneers "Mr Fancy Car" at someone.
