In Cyberpunk RED, I wanted an NPC to sound uneducated, so she told the PCs about someone doing “dinographics”. I expected the players to ask about it, at which point it’d be clear she was talking about someone doing a demographic survey.
But they misheard.
So now there’s a tiny corp called DynoGraphics that does demographics and forecasting. The PCs had to do a lil data extraction heist because of it.
By chance did you make her unintentional malapropism a canon part of the history of the company’s name? Like Google’s backstory (it may be an urban legend, but I heard they’d intended to name it “googol” but didn’t know how to spell the word, and misspelled it as “Google” when submitting their application).
Strange, I suddenly want to have an Italian-inspired, high class restaurant in my game called “Bone Apple Tea”

I should, but the corp is pretty tiny, so it doesn’t come up very often.
