Mondegreens

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

My husband is the king of Mondegreens (the official term for misheard phrases or lyrics), especially lyrics in his case.  Every time a sone comes on that he loves, I sit back quietly, eagerly anticipating what amalgam of words he is going to spew. Most people would replace unknown phrases with a mish-mosh of words but not my man. He substititutes phrases like ‘A psychophant with my ladder’ in place of ‘I signal them with my lighter’. Now that’s what I call an educated guess!
