What are keystroke twins?

Keystroke twins are black cats in the C.21st linguistic Matrix, arising from whatever you call that system of putting letters on phone-keys ('buttons') and from the iniquities of predictive text.

Classic results might include missives like: 'I watched your mother last night. (Hard going, man!)' - when for 'mother' read 'movies'.

I prefer examples where the irony is less circumstantial ('cock'/'anal', infamously), but still. If you find cool ones, please let me know - due credits will be accorded, naturally. Clangers in foreign languages get extra cookies. Unless your phone has disabled them, of course.
