While writing an Email today I was momentarily flustered when trying to decide between “fast forward to…” and “flash forward to…” thinking that one was an eggcorn of the other. I concluded that both were perfectly good idioms in their own right—with hundreds of millions of Google hits each. However, I did wonder whether “flash forward” subliminally lead to the usage of “fast forward” in this context.
