Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Yup, I'm thinking so. I used to be one of those people who thought dog-eat-dog was actually spelled doggiedog and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why everyone would use such a stupid-looking word in everyday conversation! But, then I matured and became so super intelligent and Connery was my next door neighbor . . . oh wait, I'm dreaming again. DANGIT!!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Diane, It's amazing what people hear. Written communication on the Internet has turned up any number of these mis-hearings like your doggiedog. One that comes to mind is a friend who kept putting " wallah " in her posts. I finally figured out she meant " voila. " The written language certainly can be different from the spoken one! If it were the lyrics to a song you were hearing creatively, the phenomenon would be called a " mondegreen. " For example, almost everyone is familiar with that well-known Christian hymn, " Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear " or the line in another that goes, " Leaning, leaning, say fancy cure from all alarm, Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arm. " We all know that God's first name is Andy, don't we? ( " Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own " from " In the Garden " ) My son was fond of The Christmas Song, but he was distressed to hear that " they know that Santa's on his way. . .he's loaded lots of poison goodies on his sleigh. . . . " He was a child of the 60s and considering where we live, he was also distressed about certain activities contemporary with the Civil Rights movement. ( " Mama, will clams hurt you? " " Well, son, they can if they come from polluted waters or they're not cooked enough to kill any parasites or bacteria. Why do you ask? " " What about Ku Klux Klams? " ) The nomenclature " mondegreen " was coined by Sylvia , a columnist in the 50s, who as a child heard an old ish ballad containing the line, " They have slain the Earl of Murray and Lady Mondegreen. " She was quite taken with the ethos of the Lady Mondegreen dying with her lover, and was shocked in later years to learn that in truth, the only death was that of the Earl of Murray. (They have slain the Earl of Murray and laid him on the green.) Valeria At 09:58 PM 5/15/2001, you wrote: >Yup, I'm thinking so.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 And then there are the things they say you wish they hadn't....ROTF... I was calmly typing my dictation one day, by the way I work at the office. The pt was an elderly gentleman, and one of his problems was to do with his penise. Can't remember exactly what....I was happily typing and this was what I heard...Sorry ladies, if I offend your delicate sensibilities!! And I quote " And for his pecker problem " I just about fell out of my chair laughing....I did not think Dr's were allowed to use those words....Guess I was just plain wrong...
