In addition to “reanalysis”, maybe false splitting, rebracketing, resegmentation?
This is why I now type extra carefully when googling for Hilary Swank movies.
Reminds me of the story about why the Chevy Nova had to think twice about advertising in Spanish-speaking countries about a car called “No va”
Of course, for over a decade I thought “link edln” was some sort of web site for Linux geeks… The trouble with being to computer-technical I guess.
There’s a frequent history of suffixes being appropriated for associative description - from panorama for Cinerama, Casinorama, etc. Or -gate from Watergate now tacked onto any scandal.
The “No va” story is an urban legend:
One of the stupider threads.
People must be bored now the Superb Owl has gone.
…Bananarama.
Maybe if some Dopers asked their cow-orkers, we might get an answer.
I cannot see the name Heather without mentally breaking it down to heat her.
mmm
ETA: And Plymouth will always be ply mouth.
There is (was?) a doper named mangetout.
Intended as “mange tout”, French for “consume everything”.
Could be read as “man get out”.
And we are going together to get her.
You know how Tampa, Florida becomes Tampax, Florida if you put an X on the end of it? I made that up.
So did a lot of other 11-year-olds. 
p.s. Long story made short: At about that age, my brother insisted that he made up “If You See Kay”.
I also heard about a blocker placed on an elementary school library computer that could not access “marsexploration.com” because it had s-e-x in it.
When I was taking organic chemistry, I saw a reference to the movie “PSYCHO” (spelled in all caps) and I read it as p-s-y and an aldehyde group. :smack:
Known as the Scunthorpe problem
When I was a child, my evil dad told me about a time when the star of a TV show (Red Skelton, maybe?) doing a live spot to introduce that year’s new Plymouth. The star leaned over the hood, where a camera close-up showed the chrome letters P-L-Y-O-M-U-T-H. I never found out if it was true.
In those days, TV show’s stars would do live commercials for the sponsor. Dinah Shore famously sang, “See the USA in your Chevrolet,” for example.
Just randomly came up with another one, not a half hour ago:
Le Tits Now
mmm
I’ve always been infected with puns such as this. Sometimes even with usernames here. For instance, our sometimes visitor Man Trap Hilter. And a regular poster that I always think of as K9 Beef Render. (That, of course, is altering the pronunciation, not the spacing of spaces.)

Among others, Memphis Slim just might have beaten him to it.
No thread-shitting intention, so please don’t take it as that.
It’s intended [perhaps a failed hope] to be the first part of the joke rather than a declaration about the thread - as in ‘People are obviously flailing around meaninglessly atomising grammar about because The Big Event that took up all their attention / Large Bird has passed and sapped their will to do anything useful.’
It didn’t raise anyone’s dander so far, so maybe others got it or gave it the benefit of the doubt.
I just got an expansion to a board game (Terraforming Mars: Venus Next) and one of the cards has flavor text which reads something like “building cooler spaces for wealthy costumers” which of course will pass a spellchecker but I assume is not intended to refer to millionaire cosplayers.
