eggcorn

 From a comment on a political blog (look at the very end):

Shockingly, there are nearly twice as many raw ghits for "lair-jet" as
for "leer-jet"--even after accounting for "Lair-jet Lou" and his Chinese
cousin Lu. And "Lear-Jet" (including all three versions) accounts only
for about the same number of raw ghits as "Lair-jet".

I am not sure if all of the "lair-jets" are eggcorns, but the one above
most likely is. It's the jet in which the Koch brothers set up their
nefarious lair.
