misspalin 

A misspalin is a misspelling added to a spell checker or the English Language.

Before Sara Palin refused to admit she misspelled "repudiate" as "refutiate", and then claimed that she was like Shakespeare adding new words to the English Language, there was no word to describe a misspelling willfully added to correctly spelled words.

When my son was in grade school, I had to go through the entire spell check user dictionary to remove all of the misspalins he had added.

Misspent Youth 

Said of oneself by a (usually older) person when they demostrate in front of unsuspecting onlookers a physical skill that belies their innocent looks or background. Such a skill usually reveals experience with a seedy, suspicious, questionable, or possibly illegal activty. Its a humorous self-deprecating confession of sorts that this skill was acquired by having practiced it in their youth; whether that's actually true or not.

Example 1: An old guy helping a stranger (who has locked their keys in their car) quickly jimmies the door open with the dexterity of a professional car thief.
Stranger: You made that look easy?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Example 2: A tiny old man steps up to a pool table puts his bet down then proceeds to clear the table to everyones amazement. As he pockets his winnings.
Amazed onlooker: How'd you do that?
Old Guy: Misspent youth.

Misspellation 

Very sexy variation of misspelling. When someone misspells a word because they are incredibly stupid, that's a misspellation.

Len wrote "wasy" instead of "easy", I tried to correct her mistake and wrote "wast": I misspelled her misspellation.
