Humorous Misspellings

It's your brain exploding.

There's an author in the Supernatural section of FF.net called 'A Hopless Romantic'. I couldn't bring myself to read the fic after that.

But what if it's the touching tale of a dyspraxic who is taught how to jump on one leg by the man of her dreams?

Misused words are more fun than plain bad spelling. I've seen Harry Potter characters drinking "Buttbeer" and "Butterbear", being taught by "Albus Doubledore" and "Professor McGoggle" ... it just goes on and on.

That last post warped my mind into imagining Professor McGoogle, who can look up anything instantly. I think I need to get some sleep to make up for my lack of caffeine.

That'd be Hermione in a few years' time, then...

I found this one in a Titanic fic.

In a story I was writing today:

Quote :

Chel staggered over to me and upholstered her gun

"She rested her chin genitally on his shoulder."

So did she go for the basic black leatherette or the nice green chintz with the cabbage roses on it? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Or maybe the romantic just doesn't want to drink any ale. You know, what with being intoxicated on love and all that?

You ever do it with a mink?

I like my sex partners to be homo sapiens, thank you very much.

Do you have any idea what "mink" was supposed to say because I'm stumped. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

My guess would be "minx." Older word for a woman who, depending on your interpretation, was either just an outrageous flirt or a slut.

Actually, it was monk. The story had Miroku raping himself. Some voice in his head forced him to insert his erect penis into his own rectum. Of course, he also got mpreg. At time time, I said "I don't even want to know if that's physically possible." Naturally, someone on the board showed that it was... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Anyway, a fic I got reminded of recently had some bad spelling in it. One Night in the Poke'mon Centre's author definitely did not have English as his/her first language.

Sorry legal shirt, but you've got to make do with the small books.

Oh, the years had pasted

But first they'd copied.

I love how the Harry Potter fandom features so prominently in all rants/sporks about misspellings and/or wrong word-usage.

The most recent gem I found had Lucius Malfoy defecating to the side of Light.


(Can we say "Oh, SHIT!" now?)

Sometimes I think these spelling mistakes happen because people actually USE the spellchecker. They misspell a word, and it comes up so they pick one of the corrections but they don't pay attention to the correction, or they don't know what it means.

And they don't proofread.

Spellcheck is a start but it is not sufficient.

Or somebody has an unhealthy fixation with their dictionary/thesaurus.

Both theories are valid, IMO.

I imagine it along the same lines as "I fart in your general direction".

Maybe it's sleep deprivation, but I had to reread that a few times to understand what the original meaning was supposed to be, and not, like, Lucius Malfoy teleporting his poop to the Order of the Phoenix's dinner table... which right now only seems slightly out of character.

I just found these in an Earth's Children fic (the fic is actually pretty good, but a few of the mistakes just made me lol).

This woman has been beaten by a snake!

*pictures someone using a snake as a whip*

Not quite a misspelling, but it made me lol anyway:

Quote :

Brun was pleased to see the Clan return loaded.

Hmm...I guess they must have some Crimean marijuana.

I snarked an X-Men fic way back when in which the kids

Quote :

rung their hands

and I still haven't figured out whether it was a secondary mutation, the side effect of a brush-on with the Technarchy, or something that only happens when you've been SMSing for twenty hours straight.

While searching for goodfic in the Naruto section of the Pit (I know, impossible), I discovered:

Now, you'd think that the fanbrat would be able to spell a major character's name correctly, especially since said character's name is used as one of the character sub-categories.

Someone posted a Hetalia slash fanfic to Weeeping Cock last night which contained the phrase ""Germany and Austria shared a short, private look before the bespectacled man lowered his head and licked at the tip of Germany’s reaction" Actually, the word 'reaction' appeared several times, and seemed to be interchangeable with the word 'erection.' I do not think that word means what the author thinks it means.
