Mondegreen: "A word or phrase resulting from a misinterpretation of a word or phrase that has been heard. Origin: 1954; coined by Sylvia Wright, US writer, from the line laid him on the green, interpreted as Lady Mondegreen, in a Scottish ballad." (from Dictionary.com Unabridged)

This is my favorite word, as I alway misinterpret phrases from songs that I hear.

Weinerschnitzelz is a Dutch hotdog. But you can use is it in anyway! I could be a swear or used like dang it. It could be in insult, and action, or even something like "I have goosbumps." but "I have weinerschnitzelz!!!"

I can never remember, because "hard" and "big" words are part of my daily vocabulary, and I consider them very common.
How about...
Garish
Shockingly ugly, as I would phrase it
Because...it sounds nice?
I don't know. The first thing I remembered. Don't know where I learned it.

Wrong. "Weenis" (spelling and meaning are debated) is a bit of loose skin, i.e., in between your index finger and thumb, on your elbow. It's not technically extra because you need it to extend the bones without stretching and tearing the skin.
