...when you think the something is something else. I'll expand...
Sometimes, I hear a word, or more often a phrase and subconsciously assume that it's spelt a certain way when really it's actually just a homophone of the word.
For example yesterday I realised that the TV channel 'pay-per-view' was just that. However, in my head, for some absurd reason, I'd considered it to be 'paper-view' I thought it was really funny. And just then I realised that the phrase 'make ends meet' was 'meet' and not 'meat' - I geuinely thought the phrase was 'make ends meat'. That's hilarious. How positively silly of me.
I just wanted to tell you, hopefully you found it as amusing as I did.X
