For me it is Mondegreen: which is a misheard lyric, word or phrase that becomes popular and gives it new meaning.

      And lisp having an S in it or rhotacism having an R. Ironic: yes, cruel: definitely!

      I love that the term glottal stop is a perfect example of a glottal stop.

        I think that might depend on accent. I pronounce it like bottle… which is also a glottal stop with those accents. Okay I pronounce it like gobble but with t’s instead of b’s.

          Yeah in most North American dialects it’s produced with a tap/flap, not a glottal stop. Unfortunate, because it would be very fun if it were true for us.
