Valentime's Day

Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned before. Thought search must be broken, but it did turn up my test search, “fusstrated,” so apparently not.

I haven’t bothered googling this, but I have known several people who used this way of saying it, thinking it was some kind of “time,” Valen Times, similar to New Year’s Day, etc.

Re: Valentime's Day

This one’s a nice find, and Craig certainly captured the essential train of thought that lead to this eggcorn. I too am surprised it wasn’t previously discovered! Kudos.
