Pronunciation - "Dee-John-ix"

The term coined for a made up word that is effectively created by the apparent lack of knowledge by the speaker (specifically a radio DJ). This disheartening phenomenon has a high rate of occurrence during the World's Largest Trivia Contest hosted by 90FM in Stevens Point Wisconsin.
SadDJ: "...while floating in milk, 'devarro' another square.."
TriviaPlayer1: "wait, what? Did that dude just say 'devarro' instead of devour?"
TriviaPlayer2: "yeah buddy, horrible case of djonics, I hope he does better"
-----------------------------------------------
Bad DJ: "The answer to question 1 in hour 43 is A-B-B-A"
TriviaPlayer1: "Aw hell no, does this guy NOT know who ABBA is and spelled their name instead?"
TriviaPlayer2: "Yes, this is an example of inexperienced djonics, he has no idea who ABBA is.
-----------------------------------------------
ConfusedDJ: "In the anals of punkadalia..."
TriviaPlayer1: "Nooope, Nope, I swear to God he meant to say 'annals' and just doesn't know how to read"
TriviaPlayer2: "Best example of djonics EVER"
