There are a ton of instances of “plutonic friendship” on the web, which I became interested in after a freshman comp student discussed Pluto (instead of Plato).
I’d consider this an eggcorn because the people misusing it probably have no frame of reference for Plato, but perhaps have considered the fact that there was no (or at most, only a little!) sexual tension between Mickey Mouse and his pet.
