Eggcorns

roughly paraphrased from wiki: an eggcorn is a substitution of a word or phrase for a word or words that sound similar. The new phrase introduces a meaning that is different from the original, but plausible in the same context, such as "old-timers' disease" for "Alzheimer's disease"

Anyone have a particular favourite? "Escape goat" always cracks me up!
