A mondegreen is the mishearing (usually accidental) of a phrase in such a way that it acquires a new meaning.
The word "mondegreen" is itself a mondegreen. The American writer Sylvia Wright coined it in an essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen", which was published in Harper's Magazine in November 1954.[1] She wrote:
When I was a child, my mother used to read aloud to me from Percy's Reliques. One of my favorite poems began, as I remember:
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl Amurray, [sic]
And Lady Mondegreen.
The actual line is "And laid him on the green", from the anonymous 17th century ballad "The Bonnie Earl O' Murray".
See if you can think of a quote that sounds real but has a different connotation.

DEAR GOD, PLEASE STOP ME BEFORE I KEEL AGAIN.-MIKE FINK 1851![]()
