<p>In monster musume, Papi the Harpy confuses the word "deport" for "incest" a couple of times in the English subtitles. I could see "arrest" and "incest", but I am aware the work is not natively English, so jokes like that might come through a bit sideways. Is there a similar sounding pair of words for these two terms to explains Papi's malapropism?</p>

Providing an example of an episode and time when this happens would be great, so we could hear the word being spoken.

@Killua It's in the first half of episode 2, although I'm not sure of the exact time

Are there any Japanese words for "deport" and "incest" that sound similar enough for a bird brain to confuse?

In Japanese, "incest" is 近親相関 *kinshin soukan*, while "deport [to one's home country]" is 本国送還 *hongoku soukan*. These two terms are not similar enough for a reasonable human being to confuse. But for a birdbrain? I'd say it's plausible.

The *soukan* in the two items are unrelated; they just happen to be homophones.
