Intended: Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

Other “misheard lyrics” from this song:

Chipmunks roasting on an open fire,
(or) Jeff’s nuts roasting on an open fire,
Check for snipping at your nose;
You’ll tide carols being sung by the fire,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey, handsome Mr. Soul
Help to make the season bright;
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

From The Christmas Song, by Mel Torme and Bob Wells

Intended: Do we have any bay leaves?

Speech perception error, mis-parsing of speech stream. Creates real words. Both of same semantic category. Plausible within similar contexts.

From Google: “There’s snow on the ground, but we hope there snow spam in your inbox.”

Reparsing, from “there’s no spam”. Possible because of the continuous speech signal.
