A silly questionnaire

moonwiseI'll just do this and see what kind of response I get. ^_^
Do any of you have a word that is unique to you that you use for something, sort of a nickname for an object or a possession? How did it get started and do you still use it?
For example...
When I was little, I had trouble saying "ginger ale," so it came out as "gerowl." We still call ginger ale this.
My parents had friends who called the television a "waddy," because their child called his pacifier a waddy. The name stuck with my parents, and it was quite common to hear "Turn the waddy off and come to dinner."
Anyone else? ^_^
