... interesting misreading

World Mouth Day

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary has finally found space for the word “mondegreen,” which it defines as “a word or phrase that results from a mishearing of something said or sung.” As Hendrik Hertzberg discovered not long ago, recent advances in Internet technology have made possible a sophisticated new variety of international mondegreen. But simple, everyday mondegreens are all around us. Sometimes it seems as though conversations with my girlfriend consist entirely of mondegreens. Just yesterday, I said to her, “I kind of like it.” “You’ve got a blanket?” she said, alarmed. “Why do you have a blanket?”

The word was introduced by Sylvia Wright in a 1954 Harper’s article, “The Death of Lady Mondegreen.” In it, she warns, “If you lay yourself open to mondegreens, you must be valiant. The world, blowing near, will assail you with a thousand bright and strange images.” Wright even started reading mondegreens:

The other day I found, on the back page of the New York Post, a headline: “Giants Struggle Under the Weight of ‘Dead’ Bats.” This is one of the most terrifying scenes I can think of, particularly since there is some doubt as to whether the bats are really dead.

In honor of its new entry, Merriam-Webster has put out a request for favorite mondegreens.—Rollo Romig
