mondegreen

A mondegreen (also sometimes spelled "mondagreen") is the accidental mishearing of a phrase in a poem, or song in such a way that it acquires a new, and usually humourous meaning.

In "The Death of Lady Mondegreen" from Harper's Magazine November 1954, the American writer Sylvia Wright coined it:

Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They have slain the Earl of Murray,
And Lady Mondegreen.

actually, the line should have been:

And laid him on the green.

beaver

"Leave It to Beaver" TV-Series 1957-1963

family sit-com with:

Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver)
Hugh Beaumont (Ward Cleaver)
and, of course, the eponymous:
Jerry Mathers (Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver)

usually notable for "the filthiest line in a sit-com":

Barbara Billingsley was asked about June Cleaver's remark,

"Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

The TV mom replied, "I don't remember saying it, but I must have, I''ve seen it on t-shirts."
