I'm hoping some of you might be interested in this. I'm always searching for similar sounding words to interchange. It's just another way to short-circuit the usual linear train of thought for a moment.

I've known several non-native English speakers who mix up kitchen/chicken.

yes frogapplause kitchen/chicken = pigeon...I guess it is partly on cadence of a word too that I work toward a swap.
Sound interchanging is one of my favorite things to do with words. I love how swapping adds new paths and short-circuiting of the expected.
I welcome any that you wish to add here. Nice to meet you on here frogapplause.

Hi Frogapplause, Words that are almosts..nearly rhymes...that allow for interesting interchanges. It's fascinating to me how swapping these soundplays creates interesting wrestling of thought in the mind.If you know the definitive searchword for this I'd be interested. I've never seen a webpage that has fully focused on this area of language. I like when it takes it all into the surprise realm. If you would like to discuss this more feel free to email me.
