Do you ever mis-type a word and then look at the result and think to yourself that it should be a real word, it sounds so good? For example, in another thread today, I mis-spelled "sanitiser" as "snitser". What a delicious word. From now on, anyone I dislike (not a short list 
) will be known as a total snitser.
Another example, for some reason my mum and I got into a discussion about handkerchiefs, and she said when she was a child they called them "snot-grabs", meaning, of course "snot-rags" ( sorry if I've offended anyone posh). But isn't "snot-grab" a far better and much more eloquent word?
So what words have you mis-typed and subsequently kept and used?
