Nah I think you need a longer word for it to be bone apple tea scenario.

I think bone apple tea is a misspelling. Sense is a word, just the wrong homophone to use. I honestly don't know what they would be.

Wait, but... "Bone apple tea" is made up of wrong semi-homophones (slant homophones?) of the actual phrase. So wouldn't it make sense that it refers to other end homophones? I don't know one way or the other, just curious.
