Here's a word you've never heard of---along with its origin and meaning.The word is "mondegreen" and it means "a misheard lyric". It originated with Sylvia Wright's mishearing of the phraise "Oh they have slain the Earl of Morray and laid him on the green." Miss Wright thought the words were---Oh they have slain the Earl of Morray and Lady Mondegreen.
