For me it is Mondegreen: which is a misheard lyric, word or phrase that becomes popular and gives it new meaning.

    Lol Shakespeare the OG rapper:

    From Family Guy: I’m not saying she’s a gold digger, but she ain’t messing with any…who isn’t she messing with?

        Someone mentioned before that the line used in that family guy scene is an actual existing rap lyric. My guess is ‘old [explicative]’

          I know how the original song goes lol. The radio edit had “messing with no broke, broke.” Which I thought made no sense. So much of hip hop is improved by listening uncensored.

            I always laugh at it when they have to record 2 completely different versions of a song, such as D12’s Purple Hills vs the original version Purple Pills.
