Another Mondegreen
I’ve mentioned mondegreens before; do a search on the word in the upper right corner for more posts on the subject.
Here’s one I never thought of. (Maybe you have to be old enough to have heard this, by the way.) It’s in the last panel:
I never thought of this one because the context supplies a clue. The ad starts with the line, “Everybody doesn’t like something, but…” The parallelism caused by the “but” gives us a clue about how to interpret the ambiguous-sounding phrase in the second half of the motto. But maybe the first half could have been “everybody does it like something,” maybe? huh?
If you have a mondegreen you like, share it in the comments.
PS—”nobody doesn’t like” is a good double negative, by the way.
