Eggcorn

An eggcorn is when someone says a word or phrase that sounds like another word or phrase but actually means something different. For example, someone might say "old-timer's disease" instead of "Alzheimer's disease". This happens when people hear a word or phrase and they make a mistake by thinking it means something else. So, they use the wrong word or phrase by accident. It's like when you mix up words because they sound alike or rhyme. Eggcorns can be funny, but it's important to use the correct words so that people understand what you mean.
