One of my friends (an American) told me her story:


When she was growing up, she always heard people say:


See you later, alligator,”


(with the response)


“After a while, crocodile.”


 


She always thought that It was “See you later, alligator; after a while, crack a dial.” till she was twenty years old.


 


So “crack a dial” is a mondegreen of “crocodile”.
