How do you get "honey soy" out of "honi soit"? Malicious mispronunciation?

That's definitely an indication of someone with far too much time on his hands. A hundred different anagrams of an unpronounceable French phrase used only by a Welsh prince.

Ah, TEd. Let's be more generous. I had no idea that many anagrams could be
produced from those words. Too much to hope for that any should be profound.
And, if you have the software, there's no drudgery involved.

Reminds me of the guy from Istanbul in the 1930s who was looking for a good Turkish cigarette. He wandered around muttering, "Mustafa Kemal, Mustafa Kemal."
