It isn't just a wrong word, it is a similarly sounding wrong word.
malapropism: "the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect, as in, for example, “dance a flamingo ” (instead of flamenco)"
Also funny, but I heard this one on the radio. The person probably would have spelled it that way though.What about exercising demons?
It's no wolf in cheap clothing, but I'll allow it.
