Default New Word for the Day-Word Twister

These are "words" that result from typing errors, misspellings, etc., and which are then assigned a meaning different from the intended original. Sort of like spoonerisms but also related to Mrs. Malaprop.

For starters,

mispelling: something that is self-explanatory

tpying: hands and brain disconnect
