In monster musume, Papi the Harpy confuses the word "deport" for "incest" a
couple of times in the English subtitles. I could see "arrest" and "incest",
but I am aware the work is not natively English, so jokes like that might come
through a bit sideways. Is there a similar sounding pair of words for these
two terms to explains Papi's malapropism?

Are there any Japanese words for "deport" and "incest" that sound similar enough for a bird brain to confuse?


In Japanese, "incest" is 近親相関 _kinshin soukan_ , while "deport [to one's home
country]" is 本国送還 _hongoku soukan_. These two terms are not similar enough for
a reasonable human being to confuse. But for a birdbrain? I'd say it's
plausible.

The _soukan_ in the two items are unrelated; they just happen to be
homophones.

(She makes this error twice in episode 2 - at 04:12 and 09:01.)
