An amusing misheard phrase is called a "mondegreen." This term refers to a misinterpretation of lyrics or phrases, often resulting in a humorous or nonsensical meaning. The term originated from a mishearing of a line in a Scottish Ballad, and it highlights the playful nature of language and how it can lead to unintended interpretations.
