STUCKo (stucco)

Google counts on Nov 14, 2006
6,280,000 stucco
20,300 stucko—eggcorn
Analysis by Joe Krozel

Stucco is a portland cement-based treatment for plaster walls—often for ornamentation. The material sticks nicely to the wall when applied, whence the eggcorn “stucko.” (I personally think this is more than just a mere misspelling. I could understand the misspelling “stuco,” but not “stucko” which displays the word “stuck” so prominently).
