I cant find exactly what I want but you will know what I mean.'A couple of years ago I sang a song for my dear departed friend, Amos Jessup it has a word that he heard wrong and we used to chide him. it's about a woman in the town of Tonapor. it said a poem about a Tonopor whore and he heard a torn apart whore. He was of course a great guy who took it as meant to be funny.

By the way, I dont know how to spell it either.
