This 'typographical error' makes me giggle every time.

It's covered here. Washington Post. *shakes head*

Well, compare to these:
Burnybun Crumblybatch, Binder-twine Cummerbund or Bendydick Lumbercrutch
Mr Betterfit Clumsypants
Mr BENEFIT BLUNDERBUS
Blenderdax
MR Betterfit CABBAGEPATCH
From the twopaddocks Top-Ten list mentioned here before.....

I guess/know that they all mean something -more ore less - , but don't understand all of them.

Sparked up in memory from the cutely amusing banter elsewhere about the playing of Ben's name (all in affectionate fun), had these shots of a tumblr 'thread' about it from a while back. I don't know, thought some of you might still get a kick out of it anyway.

Bandersnatch Cummerbund, Rumblyvoice Sexypants, and Bonobomb Creptinback still rock, though.

John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure writer and co-star) made up his own version as well, although it's remotely as original. This is from his blog:

xD there was the giggle I needed!

When I first became a fan I kept writing Cumberbacht...

In a dream I had this rude girl called him 'Mr. Cumberpatty'...

Actually the other day my mother had me shout his name 3 times hoping I would mess it up; I didn't! Yay!

xD, my mind is in the gutter on that one as well... I don't think she thought that one through!

I found this one on Facebook:

Mine is "Blenderdick Thundermunch" ... Doesn't help my dirty mind today

Remember during the Oscars when John Travolta totally messed up Idina Menzel's name (the singer of 'Let It Go?) Well here's his next victim...

(In all fairness, poor John got a lot of flak for it and apologized profusely, but still... if you know beforehand the name you're going to announce on worldwide TV, a little practice wouldn't have hurt)

Recently my husband made a file on our laptop to store all the images of BC I have flooded the desktop with. He labled it "Bigbinder Copypaste". I giggled.
