Misspellings are interesting, especially when an unusual misspelling seems to become the default way people mangle a word or phrase. Twitter is a great place to collect hilarious misspellings - not only because its fast pace helps phrases and memes spread quickly, but also because there are a lot of people using Twitter who quite frankly can't spell worth shit.
Check out a few of my favorites:
Grill Cheese (Grilled Cheese):
Flaming Young (Filet Mignon):
Cup of Chino (Cappuccino):
General Toes Chicken (General Tso's Chicken):
Or, if you prefer, General Toast Chicken:
Maybe you're not in the mood for Chinese. You might prefer Mexican...how about a Casadia (Quesadilla):
And of course, there's the old favorite that no one seems to be able to spell without looking it up, Horderves (hors d'oeuvres):
Expect my dry-cleaning bill in the mail, Dave. I might have just peed myself.
