===Similar or related concepts=== Many types of other words can also be meaningful nonce words, as is true of most [[sniglet]]s (words, often stunt words, explicitly coined in the absence of any relevant dictionary word). Other types of misinterpretations or humorous re-wordings can also be nonce words, as may occur in [[word play]], such as certain examples of [[puns]], [[spoonerisms]], [[malapropism]]s, etc. Furthermore, meaningless nonce words can occur unintentionally or spontaneously, for instance through [[Error (linguistics)|error]]s ([[typographical error|typographical]] or otherwise) or through [[keysmash]]es.
