In a recent post, Otis46 mentioned an eggcorn where “like” replaced “light.” Near the end of that post, Otis46 mentioned “the likes of,†so I was inspired to check on “the lights of,†and a handful of eggcornish items showed up. I find this a curious construction because the proper usage “likes†almost conveys a sense of someone like you, but not you in particular—and maybe that misconception is the basis of this eggcorn. By contrast, the eggcorn tends to equate/associate you with something concrete, the lights—for whatever that imagery might be. In the first example, it might be a reference to punching someone’s lights out.
