egg·corn

a word or phrase that results from a mishearing or misinterpretation of another, an element of the original being substituted for one that sounds very similar or identical (e.g. tow the line instead of toe the line).

Mine is doggy dog world obviously. Despite being a malapropism and not a real eggcorn, Bone apple tea I feel deserves a shoutout too.
 
Does bob wire count?

It maddens me.

I understand that regional didialect has a lot to do with this but it's not even a good ol' contraction, just full blown mush mouth. I don't mind barb'wire but every time I hear bob wire my insides flinch.
