For a while, learning German, I kept misreading "Scheinwerfer" (light thrower, headlight) as "

As an image search for the latter term shows, that seems to be a common occurrence, or perhaps it's even deliberate.

The first google hit is from an Austrian site selling a Schweinwerfer; a Scheinwerfer designed for forestry... to look at wild pigs
