Ootioms [/ QUOTE ] That's really not bad, but I think we can go beyond the OOT box. How about malmot? Cross between bonmot and malaprop. |

Re: coining a term for words like moran
If you want to get technical about it I believe the term for these is 'neologisms.' However this typically refers to spoken words IIRC. Also, these words are particularly devised as homophones for commonly misspelled words.
So, 'neohomophonisms' might work. Or, to satisfy OOT, how about just 'H0MOisms' NT |

Re: coining a term for words like moran
How about "idiotonym?" You know, like words that sound the same and mean the same thing as their correctly spelled counterparts, only they make the user seem like a complete and total idiot?
