“She gagged at the thought and then almost wretched.” (From a short story at Literotica.com)
Apparently this one has only been mentioned once in passing on this site, but I’d say it deserves to be on the eggcorn list, because the meaning connection is there—One feels like a real wretch, absolutely wretched, when retching.
