The n from "an" transferring to the other word is always amusing to me and what's more amusing is that it's not the only time this has happened (a napron -> an apron)

    I once convinced a co-worker that the opposite was true for napkin, that they were apkins before.

    Also told him pockets were pock-ettes and pants used to have giant pocks that hung outside like saddlebags.
