This one I cannot claim to have been deranged enough to be able to imagine myself. It was reported in the form of flaminyon on a social forum. There are lots of interesting mutations on that site that I am slowly working my way through to document for this forum. Don’t miss hit number four.
The justification would be something to do with barbequing (great word) and the attendant conflagrations.
I have taste for flaminyon, but I only have a burger budget.

Second person:
A friend of mine wrote to me telling me of a fancy wedding she had been to. She said they spared no expense and had “flaming yon” at the wedding banquet.

I had my first flaming-yon in Chicago on Sullivan st.
I love Chicago
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You are like flaming yon

Romantic poems
Flaming simblings include a flavoring of onion in flamonion, a cute roasting in flame mignon, and a flay mignon, a cute and tender skinning.
I RECOMMEND ESCARGO,AND POTATO SKINS FOR APPETIZERZ, AND FLAMONION FOR DINNER
Resto ratings
Calling Japanese Riceballs as Donuts is about as sensible as calling a potato chip a flame mignon steak.

We ate flay mignon, rolls, condiments (they were listed in the menu), chicken, cotton candy, popcorn, desserts (jars of candy), and so much more.

Flaming yon. What a hoot. Classic.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

We were about a year behind the curb on this one. The twitterverse was aflutter about flaming young at the beginning of 2011. The tumblr Egg Corns blog twigged me to this.
What is flamin young?

Another version e.g. here and elsewhere — Flaming Yawn. Several commenters suggest it is killer bad breath; another plans “I will eat my flaming yawn on the Chip ‘n’ Dale table I bought on Marketplace in the room I refurbished with Wayne’s coating.”
.
(My guess is it was a joke, not a half-eggcorn as it first looks to be—half in that the flaming makes sense, but the yawn does not particularly. I can see somebody setting up the shrink-wrapped package complete with the label, maybe even selling the thing, just for the fun of it.)
