The pushmi-pullyu. As a small child I didn't grasp the pun and pronounced this "push-mipple-you". There was also a device in a Donald Duck comic called the "enlarging machine" which I called the "enargling machine".

ETA: Mum reckons I actually said "pushapummel". he he he

In the fantastic free online game The Kingdom of Loathing (http://www.kingdomofloathing.com) there are a million zillion puns and pop culture references.

One of my faves is similar to the one you're describing.

In order to get across the Orc Chasm to Beyond the Valley of the Orc Chasm one must get an abridged dictionary.

One then takes it to the Untinkerer, who produces from it a bridge and a dictionary. One then uses the former to cross the chasm and later uses the latter to cause "Spelling Damage" to 133t creatures.

Hilarity ensues.
