As a very young kid, I called pizza cutters 'Steves' because of some commercials airing in the 90s for... pizza hut? little caesars? ... which featured a pizza cutter named Steve.

Yep, here's an example:

I had literally never seen a pizza cutter in real life, never heard it called a pizza cutter, and when my family got one, I assumed it was just called 'a steve', rofl.
