Mondegreens, Malapropisms, Spoonerisms and Eggcorns
posted July 16, 2008 - 9:29pmI am currently reading a hysterical book call Barman: Ping Pong, Pathos and Passing the Bar by Alex Wellen and it's full of intentional malapropisms.
While I know what malapropisms and spoonerisms are, I was shaky on mondegreens and never heard of eggcorns.
This is a fun review of these spoken twists of language that we all experience from time to time.
