When children mispronounce a word to create a funny word or faux paus, especially when it sticks. e-roos is an example.
A boy named Patrick is forever known as "Packy" because his friend in kindergarten couldn't pronounce his name. Such kidspeak is common. I thought my daughter would never know that animals are not "aminals."
