That's charming! An oxymoronic mondegreen or somesuch.

I know one of these in ASL: there's a quick, tense hold that modifies a motion to add the meaning "particularly, especially." One of the motions which can grammatically be so modified is "slow". So one has a quick, tense, slow == inordinately slow, an archetypical slowness.
