Serendipitypo

(Noun) When you mistype something but it actually reveals something about the situation you hadn't noticed before.

I just wrote "storygelling" as a serendipitypo. Of course a bit of research shows that someone else already found it, trademarked it, and is busy exploiting the bejeezus out of it. But I still love that I found it too!
