Markhoism 

The unintentional and incorrect spelling of a word, usually with several letters rearranged. Always having either additional or missing letters. A common side effect of acute consumption of the herb "Rickdelieu" found in the dryer regions of South Africa. The origin of the word comes from the indigenous "Khoi" people who's cultural practice involves ingesting "Rickdelieu" which causes the user to enter a state of "poesgezigt".
The spelling illustrated by the young has a common tendency to reflect the consequences of a markhoism.

Machoism 

Machoism is a type of humour.

To be entirely 'macho' is an unrealistic feat for modern men and mostly doesn't exist in its purest form, no one is entirely 'macho'. Therefore, amongst most heterosexual modern men a sense of humour is taken when dealing with idealistic pressures to be 'macho'.

I.e poking fun at the idealism by acting overtly 'macho' in the knowledge that it isn't meant to be taken seriously.

He-man, the idealistic heroic macho man of 90's cartoons is no longer seen as what men aspire to be, but mocked in humour for its unrealistic idealisms.

Machoism, by my definition, sums up a type of humour amongst heterosexual men who mock societal pressures to be unrealisticly macho and unrealistically politically correct.
"Beer! Meat! Me Man, you woman, me strong, me no have emotion" an example of a comment adhering to Machoism

Machoistic humour is used when straight Men are attacked by either sex for being gay if they like something feminine.

"I'm not gay, I'm as straight as action man"
