Cheapfake

When someone misspeaks while trying to say "deepfake" and is too proud to admit they made a simple mistake.

Could also refer to something that was faked cheaply, such as using edited footage to disprove unedited footage. However, this usage has not been recorded at this time.

Speaker: That live, uncut footage of a politician is a cheapfake.
Listener: Did you mean "deepfake"?
Speaker: No, I'm perfect and never make mistakes. "Cheapfake" has always been a word.
