* In ''Literature/TheColourOfMagic'' by Creator/TerryPratchett, a visitor to a medieval fantasy land starts introducing concepts from his homeland with names that the locals hear as "inn sewer ants" and "den chewers". (''Inn-sewer-ants'' is part of a broader category that the visitor initially translates as "reflected-sound-as-of-underground-spirits", which his local guide has to mull over for a bit before realizing that he meant ''echo-gnomics''.)



** Another Creator/TerryPratchett example would be [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Inn Sewer Ants and Den Chewers]].
