  "druggy" for "groggy"--actually plucked from a real-time conversation
I was having a couple of hours ago with someone about two felines
recovering from post-neutering anesthesia

I am a bit hesitant to call it an eggcorn because there is such a
drastic difference between the two words, but it certainly fits the
definition.
