These are usually eggcorns

Anyway, there was once a joke on Friends, where - to massively paraphrase - Joey said 'the point is moo ... not even the cows care about it'. I sometimes use 'moo' instead of 'moot' just 'cos it amuses me.

My wife and I will sometimes tell each other "your point is moo" when we disagree on something, and if they insist we just start mooing at each other.
