You know about the Like Like, right? It eats whatever you're carrying. You'd better defeat it if you want your stuff back.
The Like Like is named as such because it'll eat whatever it comes across without discrimination. ;)

According to the Like Like trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the name "Like Like" is derived from an ancient Hylian proverb, "Shield-eaters and world leaders have many likes alike".

Back when Zelda was first created it was the start of people saying the word like, one of the Zelda creators brought his teenage daughter to work and she got into the monster naming room where she was was looked to be the end of someones intestines (the thing between butt cheeks) and she said something along the lines of "Like... like what is that? Eww! So gross!!" and that is how the name came to be, forgot all this proverb stuff, my story is more interesting.

My theory is that they are a misnomer, something named the exact opposite of what it really is. It's called a "Like Like" because no one likes them, they are actually very disliked.
