Good morning, dear. I am happy to assimilate “oronym.” My young students of language will love it!

An oronym is almost like a mondegreen, but less bohemian.

Oh, and you can actually use "urine" as a expository example. :) "Urine" = "You're in". That will definitely make an impression on a young mind, and this will be one word they never EVER forget.

(advance 70 years, the child is now an elderly person in a nursing home).

Child-turned-senior-citizen: ".... and there was this one WONDERFUL teacher, who taught me the word 'oronym' by using the example word 'urine'!"

(other seniors) "cackle-cackle-hahahah-cackle..." (two of them die).

PS: wita, another word. Expository. FIVE FOR FIVE baby!
