The boudoir was originally a room between the salon (or the kitchen) and the bedroom, where Madame might retire to sulk. There were no beds in it. But wait – the great seducers must be inviting you into their bedrooms, or as the French say, their bedoirs.
I quickly put on my outfit then run to my bedoir. I did my make up, mascara, winged eyeliner and a pooping red lipstick.

Makes a lot of sense. And there are enough examples on the web to convince me that the eggcorn has been taken up into a number of vocabularies.
If bowdlerizing is removing the naughty bits, is boudoirizing adding the naughty bits?
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

I’ll buy it.
Or should it be bedoirizing? Or is that one convolution (wrap of the bedclothes?) too many?
