"Process of hearing something that is contrary to what the receiver thought that they heard." Renard Migrant (talk) 21:59, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't think that's a terrible definition. I've added an etymology, though I have to say that I've never encountered this word myself. Equinox 23:03, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oh, wait, I see what you mean: it's actually contrary to what the speaker said. Will try to fix. Equinox 23:04, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Any difference between this and mishearing? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:57, 16 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
