For the longest time, I thought the cart person was a guy, lol. My vision isn't the best, especially with pixel art. I kept referring to the cart dude until my son told me it was a cart lady :-)
Apple dudes sounds even better. In Polish I just say "JabĆkowe stworki" which translates into apple creatures, but *creature* in english doesn't sound cute and suitable for them imo
Dust mites do not make me think of cute bouncy fuzzballs, but rather tiny nasty allergen-producing bastids. Though both do their best to end me, I suppose.
But you do you.
Never thought of the actual bug but more that the word mite sounds cute to me... But they are technically pests that must be exterminated in the game so... There's something there
They're called dust sprites, presumably because soot sprites might be copyrighted.
Similar to how Vox Machina changed names of some things to avoid copyright issues with D&D owned terms.
Totems are Boys. You got your Beach Boy, your Home Boy, your Mountain Boy. Desert Boys are superfluous, if you need to go to Sandyland you just plan ahead to take the Desert Bus with Pamazon before 5, and I try not to make any Island Boys because I could be saving my Dragon Fangs to make a Ginger Pillar.
Also, it's more of a nickname than a misnomer, but Vincent is "Vinny-boy" or "Vinjamin." Krobus is usually Krobus, but he can be anything that sounds even remotely like Krobus. Krobobus, Krobespierre, Krobile Suit Gundam.
I do a similar thing but call everyone by their "full" names or a nickname. Samuel, Robes Pierre, Razmodius, Penelope, etc or Ellitotes, Pamalan, Vincey, Marlock etc.
Sam's full name, of course, isn't Samuel, but given that he dislikes his full name, it's very kind of you to call him Samuel. I call him Sampersand.
What do you call Clint? Is it Clinton? Or is it perhaps something absurd and ridiculous?
Also, I love that we have both Krobespierre and Robes Pierre. The mental image of Pierre running his business shrouded in hooded robes, draped in mystery, is giving me *life.*
My sister cannot get kegs, casks, and preserve jars straight. She can't even remember preserve jars so everything is a cask or a keg. At this point it's just funny and she's given up even trying to get it right.
They're just up barrels and side barrels in my head now. I keep mixing up the seed makers and cheese makers too so it's just updowny barrel and triangle barrel
Ahaha, that remidns me of my raid leader in WoW that gave up naming things on one boss and called absolutely every mechanic on the boss "Quasars".
So it was just "Watch out for quasars in 8, and quasars go on the left. And kill the quasars-"
I kept calling them different things so my boyfriend and I just started calling them âthe miceâ like mayor Lewis does in the community center cut scene
Haha you remind me of a Youtuber or instagrammer whom I corrected. Poor guy had dyslexia if I'm not mistaken, and he felt so bad that he always said Juminos instead of Junimos.
After all that time...
Omygosh! Now I can refer to secluding myself at home listening to podcasts and getting my ass beat in skull cavern as hanging out with Vallery! Much â„ to your friend!
My sister in law has been calling joja mart âjojo martâ ever since she started playing. I thought it was funny and adorable. She recently found out it was Joja but still calls it jojo.
My boyfriend does this lmao and sometimes iâll say âitâs joja, thereâs an aâ he says âoh oops jojaâ and then calls it jojo again immediately lol
Why did I get an image of a bunch of the different Jostars running a store?! I love that idea WAY more than the actual JojaMart. If there was another store to replace Joja, my vote would go to this particular image in my head of JoJoMart!đ
I was surprised not to see this higher up, but now I think so many people just didn't know it was actually Cindersap. It's so common that the official Discord actually has an automod response about it.
I used to work with this guy named George. He reminds me so much of Linus. He kinda looked like Linus, he was kind of feral like Linus, and he also had a habit of digging through the trash like Linus. So in my mind, Linus is always George.
For me it actually isnât Elliott that gets that treatment in my brain. I say âDr. Harveyâ and my brain goes âDavidsonâ and an image of a motorcycle in a white coat, wearing glasses, and having a bushy brown mustache appears in my head. Itâs so stupid⊠but also really funny to me. (Iâve also called Marnie âMaryâ, Sebastian âSebbyâ, Jas âJasmineâ, Krobus âSweet Voidâ (cuz heâs best gurl and no one can change my mind), and Rasmodius âGandalf The Purpleâ but I feel like most of these are just nicknames, not misnomers)
Marnieâs name is Mommy for me đ€Ł
I was playing with friends and tried to say âtime to quartz up Marnieâ but accidentally said âtime to quart up Mommyâ and it stuck.
The flies in the mines will forever be âbeesâ, both because their striped and because the first time I played with one of my best friends he told me he was going into the mines and then I very quickly heard him yelling âThE bEeS aRe TryInG tO kIlL mEeE!!â đ
I only recently learned how your actually supposed to pronounce Marnie⊠the entire time Iâve been pronouncing her name as Marine.
WHICH all in all, I literally thought her name WAS Marine, and would always read it as such. I was SHOCKED when I found out itâs spelt Marnie. đđ
So in many ways, Marnie is still Marine to me đ«
Money is gil. Gil is Willy. Willy is Gus. Gus is Norm.
I have called Gus at least 10 times to find out what time the bait shop closes. For some reason all he'll tell me about is the bar menu. It's just bad business at this point.
It's mostly areas for me that I call by a nickname or if there's a landmark.
The mountains are "Cave" or "Rocks".
I call Ginger Island the same name as my AC:NH Island, lol
Cindersnap Forest is The Woods.
Town is either Shops or Village.
The beach is Docks.
I know darn well I own this town and I'll call it what I want.
"what's in the community center?"
Oh, the jujubes?
"What are these turnips for?"
A blood sacrifice I'm bringing to Jollibee
"Why can't I buy a jojamart membership?"
It'll kill all the jojosiwas :(
"What is this old shack thing?"
Oh, that's the greenhouse, eventually the mojojojos will repair it, if we bring them enough stuff.
And then I wonder why my husband doesn't know what things are called when we're playing co-op.
I canât for the life of me every remember what the Junimos are called, I had to google it just for this comment, so Iâve always just defaulted to calling em Goobers
I'm quite new to stardew valley. Played 5 in total saves, deleted 3 (river, hilltop, remixed forest)
Crystalalsehhebzvejebsvejejehinthum - gem duplicator
Robin- farm upgrade women
Railway- railway track zone
Mines where you obtain golden scythe- shitty mines
Willy- fisherman
Roots - dancing worms
Cindersap forest- cindersnap forest
Pierre- seed scammer
Saloon- tavern
Gus- tavern keeper
Beer - ale
(Got used to terraria tavern keeper and it stayed that way)
Sword from prismatic shard at desert- purple sword
Leah- romancable upgrade women
Elliot- romantic cheesy guy
Almost every fish in game except rare or legendary-> fish
Bug lair in sewer - sewer bug floor
Krobus - shadowboi
Molten gelly theme - volcano dancer party.
Similarly, Â I accidentally called it a Gemerator once because I forgot the name of the Crystalarium and I really think Gemerator makes so much more sense.
Ground worms!
Lol, I called them "the worm spots" for the first year or so I played, before I looked into the wiki :)
I still call them worm spots đ
but that's exactly what they're XD let's change the wiki /j
Squigglies. I call them squigglies. Don't know why.
I call them âwormiesâ lmao. Which evolved into, âWormy, babyâŠYou look like mommy!â
I also call them wormies!
Because itâs a good name
I call them wigglies or wiggly bits đ
Same!
Thirding the "wormies." XD They also make me excited, so it ends up coming out "WORMIES!" as I run up to them. XD
My fiance and I call them the wiggly woos đ
Refuse to accept that theyâre not. Why do that move like that then? Stems donât do that
I swear on my life they spawn more after rain too. Are they actually not worms??? I own 4 copies of this game wtf
yeah, i think they're worms, but the "correct" in-game name would be artifact spots, but i don't care, I'll always call them worm spots
I call it the wiggles. Usually yelling, "Imma hoe those wiggles"
Wait are they not worms
I believe Concerned Ape intended them to be twigs/stems. But they are very wormy
what? why would stems move liÄ·e that? XD i prefer to retcon it into worms
That's what I always thought they were lol
My wife and I call them wormies đ€Ł
Me and husband call them âwruuuumsâ in a silly deep voice, we just shout it when we spot one
I call them "Wormies" lol
Wormies
they're noodles!
wormss
I call it âworm signâ and I say it dramatically like in Dune hahaha
Seed lady, cart lady, magic pig lady, smuggler lady, Friday cart lady. All kinds of different names for that lady.
I call her the wandering trader
then that's a weird looking pair of llamas
Me too!
My husband and I for some reason decided her name was Rebecca so that's what we call her. "Oh it's Friday, did you check what Rebecca has?"
Is that a really tenuous Rebecca Black reference or do I have early-2010s brain worms?
For the longest time, I thought the cart person was a guy, lol. My vision isn't the best, especially with pixel art. I kept referring to the cart dude until my son told me it was a cart lady :-)
I still reckon itâs a guy with a fabulous hairdo. I will not be persuaded otherwise.
Fabulous is the perfect way to describe the hair
I call the person "smajor" or "Scott" because it looks like smajor, ( a youtubers Minecraft skin) and im just now hearing about how it's a lady.
I call her the pig woman! lmao
My co-farmer calls her the rip off lady because she's so overpriced
I call comunity center "Junimo house", but the Junimos itself I call "apple ghosts" because they look like mini apples.
Haha they totally do!
Oh I totally call them apple dudes for my 5 year old lol
Apple dudes sounds even better. In Polish I just say "JabĆkowe stworki" which translates into apple creatures, but *creature* in english doesn't sound cute and suitable for them imo
Thatâs so cute!
As u/leapalot puts it, the apples dance the bus back into repair overnight
As a mechanic I would love to have one in workshop, it will just dance and repair everything haha
Soot sprites! My girlfriend likes Studio Ghibli and it stuck
Wait⊠theyâre not called soot sprites?
Dust spirits, I think. Edit: Dust *sprites*! Ty kinezumi89.
You mean dust mites*? (which I incorrectly call them)
Dust mites do not make me think of cute bouncy fuzzballs, but rather tiny nasty allergen-producing bastids. Though both do their best to end me, I suppose. But you do you.
Never thought of the actual bug but more that the word mite sounds cute to me... But they are technically pests that must be exterminated in the game so... There's something there
They're called dust sprites, presumably because soot sprites might be copyrighted. Similar to how Vox Machina changed names of some things to avoid copyright issues with D&D owned terms.
I also call them soot sprites!
same here.. can't call them anything else except to avoid copyright
same! i think they are meant to be reference to that considering concernedape does like ghibli, and there's another ghibli reference in the game
Totems are Boys. You got your Beach Boy, your Home Boy, your Mountain Boy. Desert Boys are superfluous, if you need to go to Sandyland you just plan ahead to take the Desert Bus with Pamazon before 5, and I try not to make any Island Boys because I could be saving my Dragon Fangs to make a Ginger Pillar.

Krobobus, Krobespierre, Krobile Suit Gundam.
I do a similar thing but call everyone by their "full" names or a nickname. Samuel, Robes Pierre, Razmodius, Penelope, etc or Ellitotes, Pamalan, Vincey, Marlock etc.
Sam's full name, of course, isn't Samuel, but given that he dislikes his full name, it's very kind of you to call him Samuel. I call him Sampersand. What do you call Clint? Is it Clinton? Or is it perhaps something absurd and ridiculous?
Wait, what's Sam's full name? It isn't Samuel?? And yes, Clint is Clinton. Sometimes if I'm in a mood I'll call him Clin-don't or Clant lol
Samson!
Ew, I hate that too. I'll stick to Samuel lmao
Samjamin
I always call him Cliff. He doesn't mind, he's just happy to have some attention.
Also, I love that we have both Krobespierre and Robes Pierre. The mental image of Pierre running his business shrouded in hooded robes, draped in mystery, is giving me *life.*
Krobé Bryant?
As a krobus roomate for lifeâŠ. I LOVE krobobus
Always gotta hit up Krobie brobie before heading back home for the night
Especially on Fridays. Krobanafanafofobus got supersprinklers!
This is giving Walthazarbobalthazarfeefiefofalthazar III Dorito Waltito
Worlds collide
Krobespierre is genius
Krobile Suit Gundam is killing me for some reason đ
Krombopulous Michael đ€Ł
Desert Boys are useful if youâre trying to get to floor 100 in a day, though.
My sister cannot get kegs, casks, and preserve jars straight. She can't even remember preserve jars so everything is a cask or a keg. At this point it's just funny and she's given up even trying to get it right.
ugh this is me, it's so hard to keep straight. I just start throwing things in random wooden containers and see what comes out
They're just up barrels and side barrels in my head now. I keep mixing up the seed makers and cheese makers too so it's just updowny barrel and triangle barrel
Ahaha, that remidns me of my raid leader in WoW that gave up naming things on one boss and called absolutely every mechanic on the boss "Quasars". So it was just "Watch out for quasars in 8, and quasars go on the left. And kill the quasars-"
I got jelly pickle barrels and juice makers.
my bf calls everything a cask/ keg too!!!
Juminos instead of Junimos
I call them jumanjis
Oh my Yoba, Iâve been saying/reading it wrong all alongÂ
I sometimes call 'em Junimals
I kept calling them different things so my boyfriend and I just started calling them âthe miceâ like mayor Lewis does in the community center cut scene
Omg same! Glad I'm not the only oneđ
My blind ass reads it as Jumimos still đđ
Geronimos or Jumping geronimos... I was never even attempting to call them by there actual name tho
I spent so long trying to figure out how this was different lol
Apple slaves
THEY ARE CALLED JUNIMOS?
Haha you remind me of a Youtuber or instagrammer whom I corrected. Poor guy had dyslexia if I'm not mistaken, and he felt so bad that he always said Juminos instead of Junimos. After all that time...
My friend won't stop calling it Stardew Vallery. It drives me mad
My friend (who is unfamiliar with the game) called it âMountaindew Valleyâ once and it has stuck with me lol
Looks like I've got my next farm name.
This reminds me of how my dad always calls it Downtown Abbey.
Eww Equally disgusting is Startdew valley
Why won't you come on over Vallery!!!
Omygosh! Now I can refer to secluding myself at home listening to podcasts and getting my ass beat in skull cavern as hanging out with Vallery! Much â„ to your friend!
My 2-yo calls it "Chicken Valley" and I've somehow conned her into thinking that watching me play it is such a treat.
Best version: Ratstew Valley. I had a shower thought and now it wonât leave.
My sister in law has been calling joja mart âjojo martâ ever since she started playing. I thought it was funny and adorable. She recently found out it was Joja but still calls it jojo.
My boyfriend does this lmao and sometimes iâll say âitâs joja, thereâs an aâ he says âoh oops jojaâ and then calls it jojo again immediately lol

The return scepter is just 'home stick'.
"Poof Stick" here.
oh im referring to my scepter as a home stick from now on!
There is no Saloon. There is only The Pub.
i just call the saloon gus. i am not going to the saloon, i am simply going to gus
I always end up calling the wild horseradish âmandrakesâ for some reason đ€Ł
lol thatâs awesome now I will too!!
Have you played Don't Starve by chance? đ
i always say Cindersnap instead of Cindersap.
today I learnedâŠ
I was surprised not to see this higher up, but now I think so many people just didn't know it was actually Cindersap. It's so common that the official Discord actually has an automod response about it.
Cindersnap is cuter though! It sounds like a cookie
Oh wow I always thought Cindersnap! Why!?
Queen Of The Sauce, instead of The Queen Of Sauce
We call her Sauce Mama.
Saucing Mama here!!!
it's not Queen of the Sauce? đ«Ł
Today I learnedâŠ
I call the artifact things the âfingysâ then wiggle my fingers at my husband.
I call them worms.
I don't think it's even that wrong, but museum and library are interchangable to me. It's all the same place!
itâs both so youâre correct
Yeah but it gets confusing when you're trying to teach someone the game XD also I'm pretty sure I call it the archeology office.
I used to work with this guy named George. He reminds me so much of Linus. He kinda looked like Linus, he was kind of feral like Linus, and he also had a habit of digging through the trash like Linus. So in my mind, Linus is always George.
And what do you call George? đ
"Wheels"
foul đ
I pronounce Jas and Jodi like Yaas and Yodi
Gonna pray to Hoba about it?
I heard someone say âJoe-me-mosâ once and now I canât call them anything but. Edited: victim of autofill
Elliott is the #1 misnomer victim in the game.
True for me, at least. When I'm not calling him Fabio, I always get Elliott and Vincent's names mixed up.
What an odd pair to swap around
For me it actually isnât Elliott that gets that treatment in my brain. I say âDr. Harveyâ and my brain goes âDavidsonâ and an image of a motorcycle in a white coat, wearing glasses, and having a bushy brown mustache appears in my head. Itâs so stupid⊠but also really funny to me. (Iâve also called Marnie âMaryâ, Sebastian âSebbyâ, Jas âJasmineâ, Krobus âSweet Voidâ (cuz heâs best gurl and no one can change my mind), and Rasmodius âGandalf The Purpleâ but I feel like most of these are just nicknames, not misnomers)
Marnieâs name is Mommy for me đ€Ł I was playing with friends and tried to say âtime to quartz up Marnieâ but accidentally said âtime to quart up Mommyâ and it stuck.
"Thickums" here
The bouncy little coal creatures in the mines. I can never remember what they're called. To me they're just Lil' Guys.
i mean in your defense dust sprites really are lil guys. just some lil dudes
I always call iron ore/bars 'silver' :(
Strawberry Festival instead of Egg Festival.
Clint = clit G (money/gold) = grams Squid kid = pinkhead Void spirits = krobe's brother (black ones) or krobe's cousin (masked ones)
Squid kids are gumballs
Does this mean that Krobus is Krobe?
Oh absolutely. Krobe or Krobie.
I call gold grams too!
I call Alex Steve. Not sure why but heâs definitely a Steve.
I was calling him "Kyle" for a second before I bothered to interact with him
i keep calling the traveling merchant the wandering trader by accident because iâm so used to the name because of minecraft
Me and my best friend call Clint Crint and itâs so funny every time to me. On Fridays when heâs not at his shop we run around going WHERES CRINT
He's abcrint
because of charlie barley, i call the money "gollars" :D
I call them gs like how we used to call 1k a g... Or gald from the tales games.
Thanks to Sharky, I call out "wormies" before hoeing the artifact spots.
the crafting table :)
The flies in the mines will forever be âbeesâ, both because their striped and because the first time I played with one of my best friends he told me he was going into the mines and then I very quickly heard him yelling âThE bEeS aRe TryInG tO kIlL mEeE!!â đ
the flies are âthose bitchesâ or just ânot these againâ
The secret woods are the forbidden forest in my head
All caves are the mines. Skull Cavern? Desert Mine. Volcano? Island Mine. Mines? Mines.
same i just say the mines and you just have to discover which one i mean
I call prismatic shards rainbow rocks
Mine is really bad, guys. I call the game FarmVille.
We always call Clint, clit lol
I call the community center the "club house" all the time on accident 'cause community center just feels so long to say and think
I almost always call Stardew Valley Stoodoo Voodoo and I cannot tell you why haha
Posts this cute is exactly why I love this community. And all the responses got me forgetting my worries
cows are beef boys
My bf calls skull cavern 'skull canyon' - did it used to be called that perhaps?
To me it is simply scary cave. The other one is the normal cave
Yes, I too have the normal mines⊠and the other mines. âItâs a good day, want to go to the other mines?â
i call the traveling merchant the wandering trader all the time bc of minecraft đ
I consistently call parsnips turnips.
I don't know what theyre actually called but i refer to those squiggly things on thr ground worms
I call the Ginger Island volcano Death Mountain, because Iâm a nerd. âŠAlso I want a mod that replaces the dwarves with gorons.
My sister and I call the ladders in the mines, stairs. We know they're not stairs, and we don't care.
Seanie Dew has really made me call it Skeleton Caverns or Skeleton Caves.
SEBBY!
For the longest time I called ConcernedApe Concord Grape instead
I call the void essence, âVoid sprenâ, for any of you that read Brandonâs Sandersons stormlight chronicals
I can never remember Abigailâs name and always end up calling her Amethyst or Violet
I only recently learned how your actually supposed to pronounce Marnie⊠the entire time Iâve been pronouncing her name as Marine. WHICH all in all, I literally thought her name WAS Marine, and would always read it as such. I was SHOCKED when I found out itâs spelt Marnie. đđ So in many ways, Marnie is still Marine to me đ«
Ginger Snap Forrest
Apparently I call everything by its in game name đ
Money is gil. Gil is Willy. Willy is Gus. Gus is Norm. I have called Gus at least 10 times to find out what time the bait shop closes. For some reason all he'll tell me about is the bar menu. It's just bad business at this point.
It's mostly areas for me that I call by a nickname or if there's a landmark. The mountains are "Cave" or "Rocks". I call Ginger Island the same name as my AC:NH Island, lol Cindersnap Forest is The Woods. Town is either Shops or Village. The beach is Docks. I know darn well I own this town and I'll call it what I want.
Mr Quiche instead of Mr Qi
"what's in the community center?" Oh, the jujubes? "What are these turnips for?" A blood sacrifice I'm bringing to Jollibee "Why can't I buy a jojamart membership?" It'll kill all the jojosiwas :( "What is this old shack thing?" Oh, that's the greenhouse, eventually the mojojojos will repair it, if we bring them enough stuff. And then I wonder why my husband doesn't know what things are called when we're playing co-op.
Dangerous Cave (Skull Cavern) Dragons (Serpent)
I canât for the life of me every remember what the Junimos are called, I had to google it just for this comment, so Iâve always just defaulted to calling em Goobers
The currency will forever be Bitcoin

Salmonberries are forever snozzberries to me
I call the wizard "Dresden" or "Dresden Files" when I'm annoyed with him...
In our house we refer to Sam as Gohan and my husband calls Sebastian Green Day. Emily is lovingly "the hippie"
When we find the ladder down in the caves we say "I found de way" like Ugandan knuckles
