I wondered if this had happened to anyone else. I have some other examples, but my main one, the one I find the funniest, is "God's gray Earth" from Frank Zappa's "Muffin Man." For some reason I found that expression hilarious (and I'm honestly not easily amused) and I just started using it all the time. "What on God's gray Earth is going on?"
Now watch people tell me it's "Great Earth" but I've listened to it several times and I swear it's "gray."
