What word describes the mishearing of something said or sung?
TempusFugitive
The word that describes the mishearing of something said or sung is "mondegreen". Mondegreen comes from an old Scottish Ballad which contained the line, "They have slain the Earl of Murray and laid him on the green". Over time it became misconstrued as "They have slain the Earl of Murray and Lady Mondegreen". The word was first coined in 1954 and some modern examples are: * "very close veins" - a mondegreen for "varicose veins". * "Mulligan's Tyres" - for "Mull of Kintyre". * "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" - for "kiss the sky" in the 1967 Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze.
