Liginto

A word that came about due to a mishearing of the lyrics of the hit song Love of the Common People by popular recording artist Paul Young.

The lyric "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to" were misinterpreted erroneously as "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream liginto".

Over time the word has become associated with references to the fate that brings two lovers together.
Neither Stuart nor Susie really liked the term soulmate, but Susie really was Stuarts dream liginto.
