An eggcorn is the alteration of a word or phrase through the mishearing or reinterpretation of one or more of its elements, creating a new phrase that is plausible when used in the same context.
Is this the proper term for Bone Apple Tea?
Seems like the main difference is that a malapropism ends up not making sense, while an eggcorn can be logicked to an extent.
I believe that’s a malapropism.
