I think a lot of these are not so much mispronunciations as they are non-standard pronunciations, or regionalisms, or pronunciations based in dialect. I remember “bob-wire” was common where I grew up in southern Illinois.

They forgot to include "duck tape" (duct tape).

That one was pretty much always a lost cause.
